but it's just so bizarre, really, that anyone would attack someone's character for trying very hard to treat her son with patience and for the most part, loving kindness and generosity, in the face of being hurt pretty bad by said son. For choosing to be positive about the solutions instead of negative about the problems. For being a wife who was actively fighting for her marriage and working on making herself the best person she can be.



{{{{{Wonder}}}}} Your MIL sounds suspiciously like my late MIL and I am wondering if she ever "cleaved" from your H, or did she hold on to him, even during your M? Just wondering how common this is... my MIL never accepted me or delighted in me, rather took every opportunity to berate me. I never understood it either.

I also wonder if it is one of my Hs many wounds...

Oh well... I am sorry about the house thing. I am also wondering about the intuition thing, too...

For such a difficult place, you are handling it so well.
