Dear Dawn
It sounds like you have a pretty difficult situation. You would not be human not to feel anger or resentment but I think we all have to choice dwell on the circumstances. Maybe this woman has some insecurities, my suggestion is to approach her and your father-in-law about creating new traditions as a new family and a new start.
Let me know how it goes.
Sincerely,
Leah
I have an 80-year old step-mother-in-law. She’s been on the scene for just 7 years and refuses to allow my husbands’ family to celebrate Christmas with their traditions. She has her own family and she gets to do things her own way with them each year. My father in law won’t stand up to this controlling narcisssist. We are Christians. How do we deal with this without anger or resentment?
