Oh Diana, I am so sorry you are going thru this with your MIL.

It speaks for her character (lack of) that she felt the need to express in words how she fells. That was just wrong. I know you are a great mother and wife. Your only concern about this matter should be your children and husband. They know the truth. As for her, she also knows what a happy life you are making for her son and grandchildren. Don't let her push you out of family gatherings because of her mean mouth. Keep a smile on your face. Continue on as you have been doing. I would not do over do the welcome when I saw her, but I would keep a smile and let her know it doesn't bother me.

My ex MIL was the same. She did not hesitate to tell my husband how she felt about me in her family. Then she wondered why we were not close. Duh!! He always told me what she said. And it hurt.

Good luck to you. Hang in there. Prove you are the stronger one with class.

Just a comment here.. It's so sad that MIL don't realize that at one time they took someone's son away from their mother.. I must say I had a beautiful loving MIL, she would always side with me against her son when he was wrong.. She passed away 3 yrs. ago.

Diana just be your sweet self and like some have said ignore her and just don't go out of your way. Be civil and go about your business . Her loss.
