That's good news.

Well I suppose that means the hot tongue and cold shoulder is off tonight's menu.....

thank goodness you have come back on.
Glad everything is going to be okay.
You are obviously a very lovely person, as you feel guilty about the MIL being in the hotel.
Dont give in, you have done nothing wrong, your happiness along with your son and husband is the most important thing at the moment.

Its nice to see this forum is helpful for personal situations, as well as all the immigration stuff. You have found new friends on this site, albeit that they have never set eyes on you.

Wishing you all happiness.

You HAVE done the right thing, dont weaken, and keep a firm grip on the situation, any sign of weakness, and you will be powerless in the future. If the stupid old woman has any brains at all, she will realise you are a woman not to be trifled with, who puts the happiness of her children above everything else, as do many of us, if someone tries to weaken that position, then more fool them. Keep her in that hotel room, and if there is to be conatct make damn sure its on your terms and not hers, now the ball is rolling, keep pushing it, you may even make her into a normal person in the end.

Glad things are now sorted shame she's not on a flight back to the UK....does this mean you still have to see her ...think I'd make her really sweat and refuse!

All the very best and hope you can now start to enjoy your move to Oz!

AH -glad things are working out now Sharon. Keep the old battle-axe at arms length for the rest of her stay and give us the hotel details so we can give the cops an anonymous tip about a man dressed as an old woman weilding a gun ...

Dont fell guilty because they never change, i know. we fled the country from mine.
But on a nice note, my daughter in law rang me today from Uk, and said she misses me so much, thats nice, i have to be a good MIL AS I HAVE 5 SONS, , and one beautiful daughter.

Hi Sharon

So glad that things have worked out......dont u dare feel guilty abput the auld witch bein in a hotel....its better than some of the suggestions on here lol.

And maybe if hubby was to read what was put on here it would make him realise just how much u were hurting and needed our support(even if we r strangers, lol sometimes it is easier to let go to strangers)

The fact that he has closen to be with his family and not the witch must have taken bit for him to do although he aint off the hook yet. It doesnt matter how hard he was trying to keep the peace it doesnt let him off with hurting his son who will look up to him for advice.

I wish your family all the luck in the world

Take care you lot.........and if somebody pisses u off then tell them...dont let it lie

It's funny, I was telling the missus about this thread on the way to work this morning and I found myself defending your old man. I got myself into his mind-set and I could see why he did it. As men we tend to travel the path of least resistance and in this case, your bloke acted like the penguins from Madagascar (the film, not the place, lol) "Smile and wave boys, smile and wave". He didn't know your son was about, and it was easier to agree with the old bag than it was to bother arguing with her - maybe he realised she was a completely lost cause and all it would do is piss him off too. Anyway - we all know he's an alright sort - anyone that'd end up in casualty defending their kids gets my respect. Hope everything goes a bit better from now on guys. Put this behind you, send the old bag to a gulag in Russia and move on with your new lives.

I agree with this sentiment entirely. You suggested earlier that she had rejected him when he was in his teens by buggering of to Oz so hes probably never learnt how to resolve conflict in a healthy way. Also hearing her slag of your son will seem to your husband as though shes digging the knife into him as well, as we want our parents to be proud of us and our children (their grandchildren).
Good luck in whatever you do, be strong.
Gillian

Thank god she's gone for good and like evryone has said, you have no reason to feel guilty - she'll pay for this in another life - with a bit of luck she'll reincarnate as a slug!!!

Get the salt!!!!

Good onya Shaz, I'm so glad to hear that things are settling down.
