[quote=Anonymous]My birth family was functional and nice and welcoming to new people (e.g. my DH), and I introduced my DB to his wife.

She has mental issues (I suspect un-treated) and really, she is threatened by everyone and everything and has really pulled DB and their kids away from us.  She's jealous of anyone spending time with her DH; which is weird because I am no threat and my mother has been nothing but generous.

It's been very hard on my DB who admitted to me that he's not going to leave the marriage because he's hopeful, but that it's very hard to live with someone who sees every situation in the worst possible light, and is blind to her own issues.

She's the kind of person that idolizes people she doesn't know and vilifies people she does know.  ugh.  I should have known better because she has two sisters and they are really screwed up, and I thought she was the normal one of the bunch.  Now I see that mental illness runs in the family and they are all a mess.  But I'm still supportive and happy for my brother because he's got two great kids out of it and who knows, maybe he has happy days.
