My mother-in-law is 52', she has been in a relationship for 9 year and has become obsessed with Jose Mourinho the chelsea manager. She has even took to watching football matches involving him in the hope of catching a glimse of him, her partner has even started calling her obsessed cause she has started cutting out paper clippings and buying key rings saying mrs Mourinho. She regulary goes away on holiday every year and goes out socialising so she is not lonely. This is not the first time she has been obsessed with someone first it was Antonio Banderas then it was John Malkovich, also she is overweight but cant stand overweight people and is always calling them and ginger people. Her middle daughter suffers from panis attacks because of the name calling from her over the years. Does she have a problem?

I think she has an obsessive personality and is in denial about her weight problems! Sounds like she has always been that way. She obviously doesn't have a problem with it! Her obsession seems rather Childish and not worth worrying about!
I'd try telling her tactfully that her name calling is hurting people!
Its a form of Bullying and she needs to see that!
You and others are the ones with the problem> She is the problem!

Hard to know. She may be going through mid life crisis. I think she has some kind of problem and issues to sort out, but I don't think she is mentally ill. However it will be a case of wait and see if she becomes worse. Sorry not to be able to help more. Good luck.

Sounds like she has a problem with herself. She fantasizes about these men to make herself feel good,and puts other people down as a way to make herself think she is better..She might need some counseling.

Hate to say it but it does appear that she has a problem and it is a difficult problem to tackle.All I can add is that you should be careful as mother in law is also an anagram of woman hitler.

You have nothing to worry about, your mother-in-law is perfectly normal.
