But here is where I think you are off track.  You are assuming that there is something you can do that will make you have a relationship of substance with her.  Just accept that this isn't necessarily going to happen.  You can be nice and civil to her, and ensure that you don't have a relationship fraught with constant conflict.  You can't make the two of you be close.[/quote]

This is right.  I am accepting this, just sad about it.[/quote]

Or I don't know - you could put on your big girl panties and talk to your MIL about it and tell her you were hurt be her behavior that weekend, and you now learned some of the source.

You also paint her telling your DH not to tell you as somehow betraying your trust, but that's not the case.  It was your DH's responsibility to know the right course of action in that situation - not your MILs.  She could have easily been giving advice based on what she would want in the same situation, which clearly makes her wrong when it comes to you, but it doesn't make her evil.

Never said she was evil, just that I don't feel I can trust her given this.  Similar with DH but I am working through with him.  I think the trust issues were kind of obvious so I'm disappointed she didn't foresee them.[/quote]
