Please help, my husband and I are both seeking counseling with different therapists. I have resolved within my counseling that due to some major problems and issues I have with my mother in law I have decided, along with my therapist's approval that I am no longer going to speak to my mother in law. When she calls on the phone I can be polite and hi, but I will give the phone to my husband after this point. Is this childish or the right thing to try and break the cycle in which this woman has created? She has yelled, screamed, manipulated, and controlled all those around her and I refuse to get sucked in. Please respond to this question.

I don't know all the facts about your situation. But from I gathered, I do not think that you are acting childish. Sometimes people have to do distract things to get people's attention. You have to take care of yourself first. Be prepared she is not going to like this at first but she will get over it. Mine did. Hang in there. <p> <p> <p>

I had an affair 1 yr ago. We are working things out. When my mom found out she told me that she was convinced that my husband had an affair 10 yrs ago. We have been married 20 yrs. I am convinced that he did not have an affair. She now refuses to acknowledge him or our marriage. I am of course right in the middle. My husband resents me seeing or doing anything with her and I don't know what to do. I love them both. Any advice from anyone out there? My husband won't go to my mom's for Christmas, won't talk to me after I visit with my mom, always asks me what did she say about him, etc. It makes it really hard to keep the marriage together when I feel like I am betraying them both. My marriage is the most important thing to me. Help!
