Writer Looking For Boomer Mothers-in-law

Print (?)

I am a Boomer, born in 1953. I have a married daugther and her husband says I'm the BEST mother-in-law EVER. :-) I feel we have a very loving relationship....open and honest...and we have FUN together. He LOVES it when we visit...he even has us on his My Space as "Best In Laws...REALLY".

I am 53 year old woman who is having huge daughter-in-law problems. She and my son came to my house yesterday. She got in my face and then she slapped me. Well, I did defend myself and hit back. I am not going to let someone beat me.I lived with abuse from my ex husband. I will NOT go through it again. The only reason I did not call the police is because I love my grandkids. Thats the only thing that saved her from being in jail right now. I will never trust her or my son again! This world has gone crazy. What kind of human would try to beat on a disabled 53 year old woman? This dil is mentally unstable. I do fear for my grandkids lives. But, I will not ever let her hit and beat on me again. I will call the police the next time. I am very upset and I don't know why my son sit there and let her beat on me. He must be afraid of her. Must be! If she beats on him, then he is being abused too.

I am a babyboomer, born in 1948. My daughter-in-law has always been paranoid, had counseling before she married my son but still is paranoid. for 15 years she insisted mt son only be around her because she felt threatened then slowly she has come back around. Now we have a tenative truce so its nt so bad but the 15 years was a very rough road.

I do not understand why when a son gets married the daughter in-law is threatened, your start our loving both of them and soon it gets distorted. They live their own life and you live yours. My daughter-in-law does not want me around them. When she called me at work I was crushed and did not no what to do. I do not know her very well and I was very close to my son. I rasied my childern as a single parent, which meant I had to be both mother and father due to the father did not want responsiblity. I worked went to college and have three state licenses now. I love my children as life it self, my daughter and son-in-law love me so much and we learn that no one agrees about everything. I had been sending my son money to help him and when I lost my job and they needed money and my son said he would send it right back in two week I believed him, apparently she did not want to because this is why she called and started yelling at me and said I would never see my grand child or her or my son ever again. It has been three years, since then I found out lives that were being said about me and hurtful things. I leave this to the lord because I do not want to feed to the evil or bad things going on. I pray for them everyday and asked god to give them the best. There is nothing to do when someone keeps attacking you for no reason. I really do not know much about her past and do not want to judge why she is doing things because I do not know the whole story around anything. I love my son so much I do not want to disrupt his life, especially my grand daughters, God will work in their life. I have always told my son there is no need to get even god will take care of it and in my experince God has always came thru. Five other friends that were close to their sons the same thing happened, one of them their daughter in law finally saw the light and found to be hurtful is not the way to live. I know they are ok,(my sons family) and that is alright with me. Leave them in Gods hands, fighting does not solve anything, all works out in the end anyway.
