The son-in-law is not fond of her. She made it clear she didn't like him and tried to block the marriage. The daughter, I'm sure, loves her mother and doesn't want to hurt her but is afraid of the trouble she causes. They try to be good to her but probably feel their relationship would be better if she lived further away. LOL
Yeah, my mother drives me crazy sometimes and I get mad at her but I just tell her. She gets irritated with me, too. We work it out.
Thing is my mother cleaned my dirty butt, held a washrag and my hair when I was sick, she got up in the middle of the night when she would have rather slept, she did without sometimes so that I could have something needed.
There is nothing that said she had to, she loved me and just did it. I am lucky I am here to type this because I was such a horse azz at times—she would have been justified in killing my butt. :p She let me live thank God! hahaha!
I owe her the same love back. I don’t always like everything my mother says or does but I always love her and would never push her out of my life. Well, for any length of time. I know when push comes to shove, she’s in my corner. I absolutely love my mother, no matter what.
“She made it clear she didn’t like him and tried to block the marriage.”
Then the girl has to choose one or the other, because she CANNOT have both. If she chooses her mom, her marriage is over, probably withing a year, and the kids have a broken family. If she chooses her husband, all will be well (except for mom, who doesn’t deserve any sympathy).
