[quote=Anonymous]MIL is nice and tries, but I just don’t respect her. She was an alcoholic when raising DH and didn’t stop her husband from beating DH. She had a mental breakdown and DH was sent to live with distant family. The lack of bonding with a parent as a child has caused DH so much pain as an adult. And frankly makes it hard for him to have a relationship with anyone, including me. MIL is sober now, but I don’t feel love toward her. MIL is also very codependent on DH. I think she resents me taking away her son. She takes about coming to live with us, and I shut it down with DH. It’s a weird dynamic. MIL will always favor DH. Her relationship with me is just for convenience so she can have more access to her son. I’m polite, but I have zero interest in having a relationship with her. She’s way to invested to continuing to mother DH to ever be thought of as a mother to me. [/quote]
