[quote=Anonymous]People come to anonymous forum's because sometimes complaining to DH will only cause an argument.

You don't want to talk to your own family about it because then it will create a weird tension when all the families get together.

You don't want to spend your time complaining to your friends too much because there are always better things to talk about.

It's good to get help and advice from people that have been through it because they can tell you what helped them and what worked.  They can offer genuine sympathy because they know how much it sucks.

I have found DCUM hit and miss for advice.  Some posts are great but others such as this one are full of people that think they know everything and know very little.  If you haven't been through it you can't possible know what it's like.  If the worst your MIL has said is 'that dress doesn't suit you', then you won't get it.

I always thought I would get along with my MIL.  It was deeply hurtful when she rejected me.  It took a long time to get over that.

It's a tough place to be in,  it's your husbands mother and if he can't see what she is doing is wrong or he crumbles when she cries because she is so hurt she can't move your furniture around and you have broken her heart, it's tough to know how to deal with that level of manipulation.  I usually stay away from those people but with MIL I can't. I have since learned but it took time and energy.  I can't say I like or respect her, she is just something that is around from time to time.

For a lot of these MIL's I do wonder if they realise that when they die there will be people that will genuinely be relieved that they are no longer around.  Yes their son may miss them but that's it.  Not much of a way to live life to cause so much grief people look forward to your death.[/quote]
