Ashley, I agree with Gina here. You should be the one who is there for your husband, but gives him the freedom and the time to try to work things out with his mom. She may come to realize that you are good for him. If you try to stop him, he may resent you, and you do not want that. You should guard against being too protective and possessive of him. He's a smart young man, he married you, didn't he?

Pray about this entire situation. Pray for his mother, for your husband and yourself, that you all will find the right direction in this. Sounds like your MIL has and is going through a lot. She may be searching for the right thing to do.

Let us know how things go.
