- First of all, my sympathies to you at the loss of your beloved dog.

Now, with regards to you DIL. This is easy for me to say, but obviously it's

your choice how you choose to deal with her. When she treats you with

disrespect, especially in front of other family members, I would just walk out.

Leave her house if you are there. If they are at your house, you'll have to ask

them all to leave. You let her and your son know that you refuse to be

disrespected and stick to your guns. I know this will put your son in a tough

spot, but he really shouldn't be willing to go along with her rude behavior.

So, that's my advice, do not put up with it. Have respect for yourself and

demand it from your son and DIL as well. I hope this helps. Like I said, I

can't really understand your position, so the decision is yours. Take care.

Thank you so much Kristi. I am taking the day tomorrow to recover from the

weekend and today. I probably should go into work but my heart is hurting and my

head is aching. The kids came over tonight - it's like nothing ever happened.

You're right - at time she is not a very nice person. My folks were horrified

that she would even think such a thing what's less say it out loud and in front

of everyone. If I'd a been her mom I would have slapped her silly. I think

really her frustrations are with her own family but she cannot talk to them like

that - she she chooses to attack me. She holds all the cards. If she forces my

son to choose between us - he will, rightly so, choose her and the baby and she

knows that.

So unfortunately she has control over that with me - I guess all I can do is

put up with it until I can't anymore.

This is so not good for fibro!
