[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 749437, member: 4152"] There is more going on. It gets a little better and then it gets much worse. I got to see daughter in law in her home with her parents recently. She is like a very young child. It was bothersome. You would never know she is over thirty. She is such a sweet (usually) and usually a capable girl, I guess I just assumed many things based on that. Who wouldn't? But, when she moved near her mom, she changed (or least it seems this way) a lot. Her mom has many, many personality issues. She is disturbingly influenced by her parents, especially the mother. This is very unfortunate. It creeps me out that my daughter in law absolutely adores the movie "Mean Girls." She doesn't have an explanation for it. I don't know. I just find it peculiar. IF she said she found the movie "funny," I could understand this. Many of the women in her family seem to live in this narcissistic, mean, competitive, jealous world (mostly her mother). Yes, I do believe it goes beyond the "normal" son "cleaving to his wife," thing. When we moved to this city to be near our grandchildren, of course we had some gentle hints that something was amiss. A great example is when the kids were in college and we bought them several items from a giant box store (kitchen supplies, little rugs, some food etc.) and her mom called and asked my daughter in law what did The Nomads buy you guys? daughter in law's reply "Oh, just some toilet paper." NOt only was it inaccurate...it was a disturbing lie. I guess her mom could get a nice laugh over what she thought was a 1) cheap gift and a 2) stupid one. But, it was all untrue and my daughter in law PURPOSELY not only told an untruth, but chose to tell a very odd and somewhat creepy and revealing untruth ...throw me under the bus...in a way.
