mother-in-law

[stylinsam]

Hi bit of a silly question but here goes, I fell out with my mother in law the other night and a lot of bad things were said between the both of us, we had both had a drink and things got out of hand, now I feel extremely bad I sent her flowers yesterday I went to speak to her, but there is still a lot of tension, is there a way I can make it up to her ? any ideas

Hi stylin - Send her a letter. You can take your time getting the words exactly right! Remember if you decide to do this, it may be viewed by others, take that in to consideration. Does she have a mobile? Could you text her? Hope you can get round it ,any way , best of luck xxx

Oh dear this is something a lot of us have done in the past unfortunately. The only comfort is sometimes it's good to clear the air and reflect on what was said and try and talk about how to move on in a positive way.People will always say things they don't mean in the heat of the moment .After a particularly unpleasant incident with my Mum in law a very dear friend once pointed out to me the anagram for mother in law is Hitler Woman(enough said)

Sometimes this stuff is better out than in. You know it takes two to argue so she must share some of the responsibility.
Some people just don't improve with age, others just learn not to bite, being a MIL does not automatically elevate you to Diety level. Don't shoulder all the guilt yourself.

You did the right the right thing. You sent her flowers and you apologised, you did your bit, the rest is up to her. Remember that you can't change other people, you are powerless over that, so if she won't let bygones be bygones, just let her fume until her soreness dies down.

Meanwhile, whatever you do, for goodness sake don't get drunk with her again!

Hi Stylinsam, you said both of you had drinks and bad things were said to each other by the two of you. Your mother-in-law is probably feeling just as badly as you are. Don't go apologising profusely to her, once is enough. Otherwise you could be opening up a door for her to blame you for everything, when, according to you, you both were at fault. So go easy on yourself, and don't apologise unnecessarily.
Happy New Year xx

You said that you BOTH said some nasty things to each other.
Has she apologised to you for what she said? Maybe you could go and see her face to face, and discuss the problem when you are both SOBER, agree to disagree is necessary and shake on it, move on and just be careful not to get drunk in her presence again!
Good Luck
