Question My son waited until he was 36 to get married because he wanted to be sure he married the right girl. A girl he had worked with for 7 years in the past came to his front door on valentine's day 2005 with a gift. She was getting a divorce and wanted to see him. They have been together ever since and were married Nov 5, 2005. She is about 9 months pregnant now with my grandson and she has been trying to get me and all of my son's friends out of his life. She has manipulated my son into doing all of the cooking, washing, cleaning and looking after her daughter from her 1st marriage. She requires him to wear a cell phone on his belt so she knows where he is at all times. She is also not working and my son doesn't know when she is going back. She has demanded that he not have any relationship with me, but he has refused to do that and comes to see me. She lied to him and said that I had been calling her and saying things to her which I did not do. I know I have to stay away from her, but it really hurts to know that I probably won't be able to see my grandson very often and it hurts to see my son being totally dominated. How can I deal with this?
Answer your daughter-inlaw needs to understand that your son does have a right to stay in touch with his mother. Perhaps she has family problems of her own that she feels he shouldn't see you. But as your son, he has every right to see you as he is part of your family, and so is your new daughter-inlaw.
According to a book I read from my library, when someone tries to control someone totally, that's abuse.
