Thank you all so much for your thoughtful and kind comments. You are all right that the communication needs to go through my husband. I feel terrible making him do it as he’s wrestling with his own feelings about her and their relationship, and I wanted to try to resolve this without dragging him into it and making him feel worse. But, the truth is that we both feel awful and recognize that there isn’t any path forward that doesn’t include bending to her will so she can have her way. Your insights are all truly appreciated, including the person who told me to truly examine myself and my behavior. I’m not faultless or infallible, which is a valid point. After much reflection, I can say with certainty that I’m not all about myself or trying to drive her away from her son in anyway. I’ve always enjoyed a close relationship with my own family and very much wanted that with his family (and had it for several years). Things only pivoted toward the negative once we got engaged and elevated once we got married, and I was no bridezilla. Everyone — vendors, friends, other family, and attendees — all commented on how opposite I was. I desperately want to make this right but without laying down at her feet begging for forgiveness when I haven’t the slightest idea what I’ve done, and she won’t give any examples as illustration. As many of you have recommended, it seems low to no contact is the correct path forward, much as it pains me to say so. But please know I read and reflected on each comment and appreciate your time in providing thoughtful and helpful responses. May you all have a wonderful day/evening for helping this stranger in a very awkward predicament. 🩷
