[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647139, member: 1550"] Nope. My son was married to a terrible person until she ran off with another man ten years later. I didn't see him much for those ten years as I didn't want to see her. She told me off once. I listened. I never engaged her again, but did not scream back at her. Now that they are divorced, I am very close to my son again and we were never estranged, so to speak. I just didn't want to talk to her and she was his Gatekeeper.So I did other things, including interacting a lot with my other children, working, doing my hobbies, working out, and enjoying my husband and pets (I love animals). I talked to my son when HE called me and called about once a month to ask how everyone was doing, but made sure NOT to fight with Wife. It is not our place to get involved in the marriages of our grown kids, in my opinion. It is better to live our own lives. If you don't like her husband, then stay away from him. Your daughter is no saint either, however, neither is my son. We teach them what we do until they turn eighteen and then we are no longer legally in charge of what they do and hopefully they will take the best of what they learned and use it. If they don't, well, they have to do life the way we did. Nothing turns a grown kid off more than an intrusive parent. Not trying to be harsh. I tend to be logical and it just makes sense not to get into it with your adult child's spouse, no matter how much you dislike him. It also makes sense not to breach anything privately told to you by anybody, including your grown child. Wishing you luck. [/QUOTE]
