Actually, I'm ok with my mom in law. I never withhold her son from her or her grandchildren... I treat her with respect & am more hurt by the way she treats me than anger. Its ok, it stems from jealousy & bitterness. Just because we are related to someone and we are Christian & treat them well does not mean it will go the other way. her comments & bitter thoughts I pray for the Holy spirit to surround me and that they do not imprint themselves upon my heart. I've given her to the Lord & thats ok. I dont go out of my way any more to try to get her to change her mind about me cause its her mind and not up to me to change it. These things I know... I'm a good mom, wife & friend and she will never again have me thinking otherwise. So thankful to be released of that & yes I do appreciate your post as I do think that its good to honor your mother in law especially when she's undeserving.
