[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We have always paid for her healthcare expenses. I have no problems with us helping her financially. But the money she mostly asks is for discretionary expenses not any basic needs or necessities.  The issue is she feels that I should have no say in it and that whatever she wants whenever she wants she should be able to get just by calling DH and he should immediately agree. I understand that it was how it was before when my DH was unable to see how that was wrong behavior as a married couple. But now that he realizes his past mistakes and wants to make this right she obviously is having a hard time and as usual using emotional blackmail to guilt trip him back into the old ways. He can see it too and understands what’s going on. [/quote]

This is great progress in your marriage, OP. 
Now you and your DH need to discuss what is affordable and reasonable to give to your MIL.

Yes she is upset that he'll be discussing with you, but don't worry about that. You can't control how she feels about you. You can only control how you respond to her. And it seems you and your DH are doing a great job communicating. So kudos to you. So now figure our the $ per month for discretionary spending that you can afford.
