[quote=Anonymous]I've been sort of on both sides of this story. My MIL seems like the nice supportive type, but she's got this nasty undercurrent that has resulted in both of her kids becoming mostly estranged from her. I'm sure she could write an article just like this. OTOH, I have a friend whose son cut her off...there may have been some minor offenses on her part, but I think the biggest issue is that his in-laws belong to an extreme, pretty insular church, and just wanted to make sure he was sort of locked into their world. It's really sad and has basically broken her heart to lose him that way. She really was a great mom and they were very close until the wedding. But I'm sure that the DIL in that case would also seem like a nice, loving wife, and could write a Reddit thread much like the author's DIL did. Anyway, I think it's really hard to know, unless you know.[/quote]
