[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And sounds like the relationship between your DH and his mother is just fine. It's YOUR relationship you are questioning.[/quote] +1 This doesn't sound like an issue of sons vs. daughters, it's really daughters vs. daughters-in-law. Of course your MIL has a different relationship with her daughters than with you; it's unrealistic to expect the same exact treatment. You're setting yourself up for disappointment and jealousy by expecting MIL to be a second mom to you. It can be hard to let that dream go, but you can't have a relationship with someone if you don't accept them for who they are. What is your MIL capable of giving you in this relationship? Build on that instead of expecting/trying to force more and being disappointed. Speaking from the other side, it's very frustrating to try to have a relationship with someone who grasps at closeness by projecting their own wishes onto you, instead of knowing and accepting you for who you are.[/quote]
