"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."

Kathleen, you're quite a good writer. Thank you for sharing the stories and your insight. Creme, you are an amazing example of one who has come through the other side after self-reflection regarding your hurt and pain. There's a lot to ponder here...again, thank you.
Respect ... is appreciation of the separateness of the other person, of the ways in which he or she is unique.

Ladies,
I've truly enjoyed learning from this thread.  You all have great insight and wisdom.  Kathleen - if you aren't a professional writer, you should consider it.  I hung to every word - very interesting to read.  It's so much easier to see the whole picture when you are removed, but when you are intimately close to a situation, you sometimes fail to see it clearly.  When your emotions are enflamed, they get in the way of common sense.  It also takes such strength to remove yourself from a very close relationship that sometimes a person is not willing to face the pain of separation.  You are amazing women!
Warm hugs, Hope
