[quote=Anonymous]OP, neither you nor your MIL have the full picture of what is happening between MIL's friend and her family. You may think you know everything because of how close everyone is, but there is always more to a story. This could go back decades between MIL's friend and her son, long before he was married. You really have no idea. The fact that the son and DIL's feelings are in such contrast to what you and MIL think should raise a red flag and alert you to the fact that you don't have the whole story. So stay out of it and advise your MIL to do the same. If MIL is venting to you, listen to her and talk with her about it. Say, "It makes me so grateful that our family doesn't have issues like that" and leave it alone. If you find yourself listening to more rants from the son and DIL, just change the subject or say, "this is really none of my business" and leave. [/quote]
