How do you handle a mother-in-law who hates you but loves your husbands ex-wife?

Hi Jen;

I see you are having M-N-L problems! Having been in a situation like that ( 3 times ) once in reverse. But anyway, You might want to look at the fact that no- matter what you do your M-N-L is not >> not going to like YOU. So don't spend time on she likes-the-X-better-than-me. Your job is to take care of the husband 1st. Yourself 2nd. Children 3rd. Use that time that they have the children to get better with the husband. Be glad they are their. Remember they are the parents and they won't do anything to them.

Stop worrying bout them and do something nice, extra, sweet, loving, caring for your husband. ( If you love him e-nuff.)

Take time to put a heavy layer of concrete on your relationship with him and the children will be alright. They are to young to know what they want. As long as the X and M-N-L do sweet things for them, you will be in the way. If they keep going down the wrong path, sooner or later they will see it and things will be different.

Right now !!!!! take care of your husband.
