I love my FIL to death. He stays out of things. We don't discuss his son or our sitch. I know he loves me. MIL's are another story. For one thing, they never stop mothering. We are, or will be at some point, all guilty of that. But I believe that unless a MIL has been through this herself, she doesn't have the slightest idea how to give advice to you, her DIL. She simply can't understand. There certainly can't be anything wrong with her baby, so therefore, despite how she loves you, it must be you.
In her own way, she is probably trying to ease your pain, as she sees it; but unless she went through this, and there has to be some out there that have, she just doesn't understand.
Cas, you are a brave and honest person. Sometimes the papercuts hurt worse than the gunshot wounds.
