Dude, there are plenty of other parenting forums on the internet where the posters are only allowed to offer support and not debate.

If people here don't agree with you please be kind enough to accept their POV graciously, you can dispute it if you feel so inclined.

The things they are saying may actually help your situation, if you'd stop being so defensive for a sec.

If you just want validation for your part in your problems then you are not in the right place.

Exactly. There are forums out there where people will brown nose the OP. People here are trying to give him advice but he is not asking for advice. The OP wants everyone to agree with him that his MIL is evil. Any comments that offer another point of view are ignored or made fun of.

If that's the way you see it, more power to you. Have a great day.

Hmmm...I agree Jlowkey about grandparent boundaries. Not so much about grabbing and threatening her though.

I dont agree with that either, that's why I saw someone about anger. And while the counselor said i had no right threaten her, he did say she was too involved in my marriage.
