When you married (leave and cleave) you became one - extention of both birth families. Technically she is your mother also. I'm hoping your question isn't asking how to manage your mom?
Take it from me mother-in-laws are human beings and they want to be loved and respected which is what most daughter-in-laws want also. Right from the start there is something in common in the new mother-daughter relationship.

The art of war states to know your enemy inside and out and in this case it could be your mother in law. Try to get to know her inside and out & maybe you can find where the problem lies at. If that doesn't work then determine where this relationship with her son/daughter and if the problem is addressable or if this relationship important enough to look past outsiders. I just bet from experience you're dating her son! He's either the only child or if not he is her pride & joy....

know how you feel....
Well just stay away from her when you can.... and when she is around you kinda have to be polite for you signifigant others sake....
If she is that bad then you need to speak with her and your wife/husband and see if you can come to an understanding...
You married her when you married her child and she prolly feels she is still in charge of making decisions and things like that you have to put your foot down or you will be dealing with this the whole time you are married
Good Luck hope it gets better for you

Been there and add 2 sisters in the mix. It didn't get better until we divorced. I tried to stay away from them but is was like they had to see him every day. They were in our business all the time.Before his mother passed away she told him that i had been the best thing that happened to him, but it was to late.ask your husband/wife to help with the situation. Get his/her impute. Does he /shesee whats going on? If he/her loves you he can get a grip on things and talk to his/her mother. good luck.

Love Her and give her a Warm Hug. Your hug must be warm enough to strike a loving feeling between you and her (your mum). It's just your mindset. Think of her as your true mom and everything will be fine. Love her a lot.

Be polite but not overly accomodating. Don't tell her your problems as that is permission for her to interfere. Keep convos short and to the point. But remember to be respectful.

You live far away from her, always be nice to her, never discuss your private life with her and always have something very important to do.
