[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 690571, member: 19951"] My first marriage, my mother in law was very controlling and her son could no wrong. We did not get along. I tolerated her, but she stabbed me in the back a few times. We were only married 4 years and I divorced him due to him being a wife beater. After I got married to 2nd husband and we had our other two kids, hubby and I would drop my son( her grandson) off to them for a visit. She was was so nice, would buy them Christmas presents, want to talk and dote on them. I had remained in contact with her for 30 years up until she died at age 92 this past January. I would call her couple of times a month to check on her. I visited her in hospice. I went to her funeral. Her son, was a loser, and she so much as admitted it to me in many conversations. She loved my son( her grandson which is Difficult Child). She loved him till the die she died. So, it's just so odd while I was married to her son, she was not so nice to me, afterward I divorced him and moved on, we had many many good conversations. My 2nd son is getting married in Sept and I love his fiance and her family. I don't see her breaking off contact with us after marriage. I am fortunate. Difficult Child, has only ever had crazy girlfriends with issues, mostly psychiatric and drug issues and never meant any of their parents. Adult children kicking their parents to the curb has to be so devastating. But I believe in Karma, someday, this may happen to them with their kids, and then they will realize how they wronged the people who raised them. [/QUOTE]
