[quote=Anonymous]Your husband isn’t doing that. He’s doing some traveling back and forth which seems appropriate. OP, you just sound spiteful. Clearly you and MIL have had a poor relationship. Your complaints are so vague it’s difficult to know whether this is as one sided as you’re implying. But even if it is, now is a time for mercy and compassion. It will be a gift to your husband, your children, and to yourself if you let go of your bitterness. She’s grieving and scared, yes the request was OTT, but who cares? You and DH will have time to talk about what things will look like if she moves closer. He’s her only child and he will probably need to participate more in her life/care than you’d like. That doesn’t mean that she’s the top boss, but it does mean that you’ll have to accept some impact. If she’s hurtful to your children then by all means, protect them. But you’ll damage your marriage and poison your own happiness if you don’t accept that this change is happening.[/quote]
