Future MIL is too controlling

Ask Mamalette Future MIL is too controlling
Mamalette Support Team Staff asked 3 days ago

Good day house, please I need your opinion and advice. My future mother in law is a kind, generous, successful woman. She is a very take charge type person and as a result wears the pants in my fiancĂ©'/ family. She is always getting overly involved in her kids' lives who are fully grown adults. She likes to have control. Since my fiancĂ© and I rented a house and got engaged a few months ago she has been extra annoying. She texts and calls him a lot and he frequently fails to respond. The problem is she then tries to get to him through ME and it drives me crazy. It makes me think she thinks I am responsible for the fact my fiancĂ© has distanced himself from her, even though he has kept to himself his whole life. For example two weekends ago while I was working he went over to her house to hang out and she for some reason texted me "It was so wonderful to see her son!" Last weekend again she did the same thing when he spent all afternoon there helping them with chores. "I am so thankful my son came over and helped - we could not have done it without him!" I don't understand why is she texting ME that? Almost like she's thanking me for ALLOWING her son to be with them? It's very annoying but not sure if I am looking into this too much.
