[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a mom to 3 boys this makes me feel so, so sad. [/quote]
What does this have to do with you? Are you emotionally mature? Do you treat your sons with respect? Do you plan to continue respecting them and their families into adulthood? Do you plan to be manipulative to get your way?

No? Then why are you sad for yourself?[/quote]

I am and I do. Even if this MIL is emotionally immature and manipulative she still likely loves them. I am not saying this is normal or ok. Just sad. Makes me feel sad to think of not being in touch with my kids and their families (even though they are only in hs and college now.) [/quote]
You should feel SAD for the son who has, for his entire life, had to deal with a mother like this. People don’t just abandon their parents, it takes a lifetime of HELL to get to this place, and you don’t get there lightly. You and your kids will be fine, because you ARE fine. [/quote]

That just isn’t true. There are situations where the parents were just fine and the kids have been brainwashed into this “no contact” way of handling everything. Talk about being manipulative. [/quote]
Oh, well. Still not a defense for stalking your adult child and his family (as if that behavior doesn’t already indicate why he keeps his distance).[/quote]

It isn't stalking.[/quote]
It’s creepy and manipulative. No father would get away with this without the police being called.

A lot of psychopaths feel sorry for themselves, too. In fact, it’s one of their primary traits.

Being a sad, estranged parent does not make this behavior okay.[/quote]

That's not true. He would need a restraining order against her for the police to be involved. We had this same situation in our extended family, except with a hostile STBX, and the police said it was a public street and anyone can park there as long as they are not doing anything illegal. [/quote]
