Mother-in-law is very nasty to me, should I just cut her off?
Hey Rosie,
My mother-in-law is so nasty to me, I canât take it!âSheâs always throwing shade, Rosie.âI mean, why is this still happening?âIâve been married to her son for over 12 years and I thinks she needs to get a life. I told my husband if she is disrespectful to me one more time in front of the kids, I will let her know that she is not welcome at our house anymore. Do you think I am wrong to draw the line here?

Dear So Done,
Now this is very unfortunate for you! To have major mother-in-law issues can be the ULTIMATE nightmare!
I also feel for your hubby.âTo be stuck in the middle of this emotional mess must give him ulcers! However, I think HE is the one who has to set the tone (or should have done so 12 years ago), about respecting each other.
I think he will first have to chat with his mom and explain how her actions are causing so much havoc in the family â especially withâyou.âThen, you are going to have to meet him halfway in terms of either walking away from her, or limiting your interaction for a while.âHopefully, with some additional neutral mediation, there can be abbreviated and respectful interaction between both of you.
The bottom line is that something will have to change; no one should be made to feel uncomfortable in their own space and respect is always king (both ways). So, itâs imperative that the rules be followed and cooler minds prevail.âI wish you all the best, as you try to strike peace within your family.
Rosie
