Still moving in a new direction

[mleigh4]

Bttrfly, thank you. Wow, I can't believe your MIL story. I agree, I definitely see something in common with our stories and our spouses. What I have seen is MIL coming off like something is "wrong" with S, because he is not into sports, is calm and mellow, is shy with kids he doesn't know. She gets this into H head and it sends him into a tailspin! I wonder if this is what she did to her own, to make them feel there was something off with them, it could really explain a lot

I can't control what she thinks or tells H, but I can stand my ground with my son. Sure, he has his quirks, don't we all? He is a normal, healthy happy child. Everyone is different and we love them for who they are. I teach my son that and will do my best to teach my H that. He should know best, with all his antics, S and I still love him and welcome him into our world. Hopefully, H will see my world is much happier and loving than his mother's world, and hopefully he can change his thinking about some things.

Job, thank you once again for linking my threads
