[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 713223, member: 16761"] Teriobe, I understand you again! I know it's a little different, but I just got off the phone with a retired friend who was complaining about how her son's mother in law treats him. He has a job, a nice house, children, dog and a lovely wife. I was like 'good grief woman, just be happy your son is not destroying your property and sweating on your couch!' But I think people just like to complain about whatever is taking up space and she picked someone who can't relate. When I told her my son's latest, she flew off into a rage asking me something about 'How many times is this going to happen before you finally do something?' I had to cut off the phone call right then and there. I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I hear my mother in law on speaker phone every night consoling my husband but I've never heard her ask how I'm handling it. And I'm the one who gets the brunt of it all. And certainly the one who pays for all of it financially. So I get it. I think you are right. If they want to know how he is doing ask him. If they want to know how I'm doing then well, that would be a first - I'm not sure I wouldn't go into shock! I get the feeling people blame everything on the mother. Either consciously or subconsciously. It sucks. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
