It's been a long time since I've been here!!
« on: April 27, 2010, 08:43:04 AM »
Hello ladies!!  I see the site name has changed, does this mean I will get more wisdom than put downs for not being the ideal daughter in law???  That would be great, but I won't hold my breath.  I know there are a few people here that understand me!!  Thats why I came back!!

Well it's been a few months since I've been here and I'm happier than ever!  My husband and I are getting closer, he has totally stopped trying to "force" me to like his mother and we are really feeling good about our future goals and how to get there.  I'm happy to say I don't hate his mother anymore but I have realized that I just don't like her personality, and how she acts as if we are friends.   I'm not to interested in changing things right now.  My husband says that if we can become closer as a couple, maybe then it will be easier for me to deal with his mother.  So I'm taking my time ad enjoying my husband and not worrying about any "relationship" with her.  I realized it wasn't good for us and we needed to do something different.  He spends time with his mother and our kids without me and it works so much better now.  I know some of you are so sure that I'm an evil witch for not liking his mother, or for not rushing to spend time with her just because of her title, I know DILs get a really bad rap on this site but things can't be perfect.  I'm very satisfied at how things have turned out.  I hope some of you have and will find that same peace of mind I have found.  It feels GREAT!!!!

Welcome back "Evil Witch." Give me a break...you know that isn't true and so do we! You had a tough issue and you are finding ways to work around it. Our site name is changed because we found that there as many DILs trying to deal with difficult MILs as there are MILs trying to deal with difficult DILs. Some people for whatever reason just make creating an extended family difficult.

God to "see" you again!  :D

 ;D Thanks Luise!!!  Of course I'm joking, I wouldn't have come back if I really believed that.  I'm glad the name has changed, its a lot less intimidating when looking for advice or understanding about my situation.  Thanks a bunch!!
