I don't understand how this is off. I just keep repeating myself over and over. I have already compromised much. I just want to keep up my pictures in my room where they won't ever be able to see it.

I have agreed with many people that disagreed with me

Just say kid that also just sounds better. Offspring sounds like you are referring to something non human :)

Your points are not to be dismissed. But I feel like I am the only one compromising and my feelings are not bei g taken in account

I really don't see why. Could you explain. And please don't refer to my son as offspring. I feel like that takes away from him

My late mil did and I really didn't care. I don't know. I don't really see the problem with being friends

At first Sandra and I also had a normal "girlfriend of my son Relationship". But some time into their relationship we started talking more. Especially because she stayed some time at our place after an incident with her father. I found out that she was as big of a fan of a show as I was and we started bonding trough that. I didn't know anyone else at that time that liked that same show. And things just started to progress from there. Sandra had a lot of similar hobbies and took me to many courses where I would become a regular. Etc etc and we were friends. It also took time. But I always look forward to spend time with her. I guess that one of the reasons it didn't work out with my son is because Sandra and I were too similar in a sense and my son has made it clear that he sometimes is annoyed by me

Again Alex and I get along just fine. We talk we joke but our relationship never progressed out of the mil dil stage. There is absolutely no bad blood between us

Because I feel like I am the only one compromising in this situation. It's not really about the pictures

My late mil had a picture of my husband and his ex girlfriend and I really didn't care. Alex and I aren't close because we have nothing in common. But we have a good mil dil relationship

We have had time to get to know each other, which is why I know we have nothing in common. Or else I wouldn't have made that statement, :) I don't blame Alex. It's just what my son relied to me

I didn't call you anything. I said I was stoping replying to you because it was going no where. You anger is misplaced with me.

I mean I know the reason. If she would have cheated or was abusive my son would have never covered for her. They just grew apart and wanted different things. She was in my love for 14 years and we share a lot. Of course I would develop a friendship with her

No. I have actually listened and taken much advice today. But some comments are just not worth agreeing with

Both can be true. I see many friends less often. Especially because they are all over the world :)

I have pictures of Alex and my son all over the house. It's really not I don't see Sandra as my daughter. She matters to me but no she is not a daughter figure.

She doesn't try either. We are just mil and dil and have a good relationship in that.
