How do you deal with a mother in law who is overbearing, financially dependent on her son and has no life of her own?
1 GrammyJ, regarding your answer "Tough one....":Very empathetic answer! That's great.
Let your husband deal with her. It sounds like your problem is more with your husband (if that's the "son" you refer to), who chooses to support her financially. He needs to be the one to run interference for you and your family, since he's the man and he's her son.
He needs to be her son and not her best friend or whole life. As for how to behave around her, just be polite. If she offers advice, just sweetly say, "Thanks, I'll consider that."
With your husband, devise clear boundaries that dictate how much time you will spend with her.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
