Soā¦ Iām refusing to speak to my mother in law until she stops claiming my husbands ex as her daughterā¦ which will probably never happenš
They hang out ALL the time. (my husbands ex is my step sons mom)
Like I can understand being ācordialā but hanging out all the time and claiming her as her daughter is just plain crazy to meā¦ it makes me not trust my mother in law AT ALL. (my husbands ex has issues and the rest of my husbands family doesnāt trust her either)
I havenāt sent her a photo of my daughter in weeks and I will not let her see her.
My husband and I have been together for 5 years (only married for a year and a half) I would hope she would have accepted me by nowā¦ ugh. But thanks.
Well, itās normal to accept the parent of your grandchild as family, and is probably healthy in many ways. I know quite a few divorced couples where the ex and the old in-laws are still friendly especially when there are grandkids in the mix. Does she do this to the exclusion of you? Or purposely make you feel excluded? Because that would be ā¦ impolite.
I guess the big thing here is how this is affecting your step-son who may feel caught in the middle. Iām not trying to minimize your feelings, but youāre an adult now and should be able to cope with some hurt feels. Much tougher for kidlets, so you may have to put his needs before yours.
Not criticizing, just observing that itās a tricky situation and someone will walk away unhappy. In this type of scenario look for what is the right thing first and what feels good second.
I know people that stay cordial cause of their grandchildren, but I donāt know people that are THIS close with the exā¦
She referred to my husbands ex as her daughter in law on social media while at the same time removing me from her social mediaā¦ so, Iād say she is excluding meā¦
