[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, just want to thank you for your post. It enlightened me. My mil has issues with envy and jealousy with my dd and also her own daughter, and I didn't understand it before, but now I do. I understand it comes from a place of childhood trauma, of unmet emotional needs, and insecurity. When dd was 2 months old, she constantly said things like, "must be sooo nice for her to have someone tend to her every need" and "she knows exactly how to manipulate her mommy into giving her exactly what she wants." At the time I couldn't fathom how one could think that way or feel jealous of a baby. But I get it now... She had a hellish childhood. She was speaking from a broken place.[/quote] It's way way WAY too common a dynamic. It is very good that OP realizes it's not healthy but is brave enough to do something about it. Both OP and her DD will benefit from her willingness to name it and confront it.[/quote]
