[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you read that article and didn’t have the takeaway that the author is a narcissist then you deserve your estrangement.[/quote]
I am not the OP, but I do not see narcissism in anything she wrote. I see a daughter in law who likely is , however. She went apeshit over a misunderstanding - probably when his mother asked him if he was certain.  He relayed it to his fiance poorly and she made him prove his loyalty. It scared her to the point of ensuring estrangement. He was fully manipulated.

Is it possible that the author left some details out? Yes, but until I know what those details are, no the mother did nothing wrong. I really feel for her.[/quote]

Try again:
She makes this sound like they were just perfectly happy until girlfriend came along. There were a LOT of little one liners that were red flags.

I could always count on him, whether the car battery was dead or the computer malfunctioned. Or, for a laugh or a hug. (That's nice and all, but it sounds like she was suffocating.)

Parents paid for the Disneyland trip and the adult son was renting a home from them. Lots of hooks right there.

Adult son and fiance began to plan wedding with future inlaws, mother was insecure about him spending so much time with him and quoted, "I began to sense that Dan was comparing our family to hers." With out any truth to this from her son, she is just going by her "feelings"

Son spoke about the inlaws family having young children involved in sports and said that the mother wouldn't know anything about that since they weren't in sports growing up. Mother became insecure and quoted "I didn't correct him, but it was something his dad and I talked about later." ......correct..right...

Mom mentioned that the inlaws, adult son and fiance were planning the wedding, correct? Well, mom then questions the son about the details and has the nerve, after all the work and planning they've been doing to ask her son IF HE IS SURE HE WANTS TO MARRY HER. A GROWN ASS ADULT. Her response is so nparent typical, "Since they were so young, it was a natural question to ask."

Adult son mentions that the mother was being rude to the inlaws at a wedding rehearsal. The nmom says, "Hearing his accusation hurt, and Dan knew me better than that."

Adult son made a difficult decision and told the nmom she could not be there. She has a drama filled pity party and tried to recruit flying monkeys. "After that, I had no choice but to call our relatives who'd been invited and try to explain why we were no longer going to Dan's wedding."

There were a couple relatives who immediately rallied and said, 'Something's going on. Do you think she wants him all to herself?' Statements like that were supportive and kind. And my thought was, I don't know, but I'm not going to say anything bad about anybody....

Really??! Is that why you put all of your business online, and changed your son's name out of respect, but PLASTERED your pics all over this sob ass story??!!! Yeah you are really concerned about his feelings.

This is a cringy, bullcrap story that reeks of lies and gaslighting. The nmom has put her self in a position that only she created.[/quote]

You know, if you don't want people to think you aren't the clearly nuts DIL, you should stop copying comments word for word from Reddit. You are embarrassing yourself. It's pathetic.[/quote]
