Im sorry to hear you are going through similar, i really do know how you feel hun & I know how much you and OH are hurting, its not nice at all, I hope we both find a happy ending to all this.
MIL already has 5 other grandchildren, 3 of them hardley ever get to see her due to the fact she has pushed her other sons OH away like she is with me and OH. As far as she is concerened she has 2 "perfect" grandchildren which belong to her daughter who get all the love and attention.
with all the neices & nephews, so far OH has been the only one to open bank accounts for them, take them out at weekends, treat them & buy them presents and give them all lots of love & attention. OH said to me a few months ago, he already knows that no-one (including his mum) will show our son any attention or treat him the same way OH has with all his brothers & sisters kids.
Its not about buying gifts for or spending money its more the fact that OH just wants his family to treat his new son the same way as all the other kids and spend time with his son e.t.c and we both know that that isnt going to happen.
All his family live within a 20 mile radius of each other and me and OH are about 1hrs drive away. MIL blames OH for being so far away and its aparently his own fault.
What makes me sick to the stomach is that OH practically bought the house they are living in and has sacrafised so many things in his life to help his mum out and this is the way she treats him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (cheeky cow)
If MIL treat OH with more respect id be very happy to accomodate and welcome her but to think that OH has bent over backwards and has given her everything and yet he is the one that gets pushed out the family and treat liked s***t makes me want to smack her round the face!!!
OH is my rock and without him id be nothing, hes the (only) caring man ive ever met and has treated me like a human being, he treats people how hed like to be treated, and to see him being rejected like this makes me very protective of him, his mother will be the one that misses out and that will be her own dam fault (geeze im getting so angry now)
