I’m grieving the mother-in-law I wish I had

I am in a similar boat… I never met my partners parents.. and honestly probably won’t ever. She probably dont even know he is having another kid, which makes me sad but she wasn’t a good mom to him anyways. According to him she wouldn’t feed him and was physically abusive. Shit she supposedly doesn’t know who his father is either… which I find very odd..

I feel the same! My partner and his mum have been no contact since before I met him so I've not met her and neither has our baby. My mum passed away when I was really young so my little one has no grandmothers and it just makes me so so sad! Her grandad (my dad) lives in a different country. My partners dad lives in a different county and could've easily met her by now but hasn't. He's not bothered. They're not low contact but don't have much of a relationship and it just makes me so sad for my girl that she'll essentially not have grandparents.

My ex MIL was amazing and my new one is an absolute narcissist. I hate my ex but wish I could’ve kept her as a MIL instead of my new one.

I’ve just told my husband that I think we need to limit their contact. I am really struggling with her behaviour at the moment!
