[quote=Anonymous]I had an abusive boyfriend like this. He was a pillar of the community and nobody would have believed me. He always harmed me "lovingly," whether it was grabbing my arm to protect me while we crossed the street or biting me in the heat of passion during sex. It was abuse and he did it all deliberately.

On the other hand, my 90-year-old grandmother is 4'9" and weighs maybe 100 pounds, and she delivers a hug that feels like she could break your ribs. We all joke about her "death grip" but it really does hurt when she grips you around the waist just to be close and show affection.

Anyway, I believe you, OP. Unfortunately you can't break up with your mother-in-law like I broke up with my boyfriend; you'll have to live with her like we all live with my grandmother. You should do whatever you must to protect your child, though, so I would definitely have a talk with her. MIL's feelings are not more important than your child's sense of safety around her own grandmother. [/quote]
