"Welcome to WiseWomenUnite.com -- When adult children marry and leave home, life can sometimes get more complex instead of simpler.  Being a mother-in-law or daughter-in-law can be tough.  How do we extend love and support to our mothers-in-law, adult children, daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren without interfering?  What do we do when there are communication problems?  How can we ask for help when we need it without being a burden?  And how do our family members feel about these issues?  We invite you to join our free forum, read some posts... and when you're ready...share your challenges and wisdom."

I have finally decided NOT to acknowledge my abusive daughter's 40th  birthday...not to get even or be mean, but to show that I have cut emotional ties with her and she can no longer abuse ME. LONG STORY AND A LONG TIME COMING ( 10 years of escalating abuse from her ) .

She sat on my driveway and texted me a " hope you had a nice birthday" message....just that short, as she dropped off my GD.

My understanding is this, if she does NOT hear from me ever again in any way, shape or form, after groveling for the last 10 years, then there MIGHT  be SOME hope of hugging her again some day and hearing the words we long to hear, " I love you mom, ". But I have reached the conviction that I must stay strong. I must no longer grovel. At 67, never  too old to stop learning. I need to be set free once and for all. I have learned from my abusive oldest daughter, time to do this again. My son is good to me so that is a relief.

My daughter cannot stand her controlling husband but if I stick up for her, only to her, then she turns him further against me.
