[quote=Anonymous]This is PP from 3/12 17:41. I read your subsequent posts and my guess is you are correct, your MIL is just not that into your DH, you and your kid. It's not right, it's hurtful, but that's how it is. My guess is your own family is not like this so it's hard for you to get over. I can see how your MIL might not be happy that her son was a starving artist for so many years then went into a low-paying job. And as cold as it is, she might be turned off to your son having special needs. I know parents who live to brag about their kids and when they (or their families) don't measure up, they are distant. Your MIL raised her children in a distant manner so it's no surprise she is now. The fact that she shows favoritism to the son who can't hold down a job is no shocker either, my guess is she somehow exerts control or dominance over him through her financial support, something she cannot do with you and your DH.[/quote]
