[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe some of the posters on here are completely letting the OP off the hook for her enmeshed, obsessive, controlling behavior in all of this but instead gaslighting the DIL by trying to turn it on her and saying she is the controlling one and it shouldn't have come from her. When you really can't have it both ways. Because the DIL probably sees how her MIL is with husband and recognizes her enmeshed ways with her son AKA DIL's husband and her husband most likely doesn't have a spine of his own to stand up to his mother so his poor wife has finally has enough and had to do it. That doesn't make her abusive give me a break that means she sees behavior for what it is and isn't afraid to try to put a stop to it. With the OP being the way she appears to be from her OP it gives the DIL a MUCH greater green light to speak up.[/quote]

As many PPs have said, OP is enmeshed and creepy, but DIL is ALSO controlling and obsessive. You just are ignoring all those posts.

DIL doesn't get a pass here. Her behavior is off too, as is OPs.[/quote]

Did you read OP's update though? Your response leads me to believe you haven't. She didn't just randomly bring up the are going screen free. There was already a back and forth going on about the vacation s conversation that all 3 of them were engaged in. The way DIL worded it was in a way of making conversation saying we are excited to go screen free. Did you notice the "we?" She probably thought nothing of it when she mentioned it just like another part of their vacation. So it didn't come from the son so what? She probably just happened to mention it first. Please tell me how you get controlling out of that?? Plenty of couples go screen free and unplug while they are away. If you actually read the post and paid attention to details you would have noticed that the DIL made it clear they have both been under stress and that's why they are unplugging[/quote]
