OI, consider this. Some of us are so dominated by our mothers that
our very lives are at risk. I am completely serious! Take a deep breath and maybe read "I'm OK, You're OK" It gives you a way to handle people in your minds. Like a nurse listening to a patient. You are the nurse, the mom (and the boy) are the patients. You have a good bedside manner?

Temple,
Thank you...the hugs mean a lot to me....it has been this way for so long and I have always given in, that I think he doesn't realize that I have either reached my breaking point or my salvation point- depending on how you look at it. I told him she stops or she is out of our lives, I broke down in front of him and said that I don't understand such meanness, he says no ultimatums...I say, I can't do this anymore...it is affecting our kids now...maybe it's a guy thing, maybe it's just him, maybe it's me....I just know that I can't do this anymore...I shouldn't have to tolerate people like that...I am tired of it and the way it makes me feel. I don't want to worry about what people are saying behind my back because they want their baby back ...and he isn't really a baby.... Thanks for your kind words.

I'm sorry, sweet woman.
That must be so hard. Do you mean "it" ...like...your marriage? I must be misunderstanding that, right? Does your husband know how much this is hurting you? I send hugs to you.

I went out of my way
to find a guy with a mother I could tolerate. Mama's boys really have no spine. Don't get me wrong, my man must respect his mother. Respecting her and letting her control his life are two totally different things. If she respected him, she lay off. I'm sorry Original_Influence, I hope things get better :)

Oh no! I think I would have just pretended that I meant how stupid for her to say that! I guess that's one of the things I like about having never married - the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law can be such a tumultuous and tenuous one.
