[quote=Anonymous]There is no way I would let MIL move in after her treatment of you; if she continues to behave the same way, your children will learn that it is "ok" to behave like grandma.

And, under no circumstances, let her move in on a trial basis--you will never be able to get her out of your house. It is not easy to move an elderly person and she will probably not budge. Decide whether you want her to be there before she moves in. Best to see if it is in the budget to place her in a good assisted living or elderly apartment near your home.

My emotionally abusive grandmother moved in and stayed for the next 20 years. I was shunned a lot for not participating in her manipulative games. Needless to say I left home as soon as I finished college and have never gone back.

You are a good hearted person and obviously love your DH, but if you take your MIL in you and your DH will need to go over the ground rules. Maybe moving her near you and seeing if she can actually behave before moving her into the house?[/quote]
