No mental illness.. but being her daughter-in-law, I feel she's not being fair.

In mom's eyes, her son is perfect and therefore incapable of making mistakes. Deep down, she knows that he can and does make mistakes, but just does not want to admit it. Maybe there are big holes in her life due to a absent or uncaring husband and she has transfered her feelings to her son.

You say she's not being fair. HOW OLD ARE YOU? I mean this really, because when you are my age, 41, you realise very little in life is ever fair.
She may not have a mental illness and without you descirbing what she'd not being fair about, no one can give a quality answer.
But people's past always affects how they respond to people. She may have not had a good life in the past, so she takes it out on her son. He may have done things she simply doesn't have the skills to know how to forgive.
The reality is the son can try to work it out with his mother, not you. If she doesn't want to, then he has to deside to just live with it or limit his contact with her if it's that big of an issue.
LIFE IS NEVER FAIR, it only seems to be for others because we are not living their life.

isn't the international at great a fantasy? confident, this is a query, no longer a assertion. i does not wade by using this test. i'm no longer somebody that believes in a burning bush or somebody walking on water, etc. i've got faith those issues to be symbolism for that distinctive faith... i do no longer think in a great form of what David Blaine or that one guy who's have been provided that practice "Mindfreak" do. David Copperfield, nope. What they are doing isn't even symbolic. they won't be written in the historic previous books... ok. i'm off the factor. the reason those people have faith what they do is because of the fact there is no proving it the two way and their dad and mom mentioned it replaced into genuine. it won't be a fantasy. that's confusion.

I am a guy who had a mother like this. I lost more then one great lady in my life due to an over protective mother. At the time I could not see how her interference screwed up my relationship with these good women. Yes, I was a mommas boy and listened to her when she bad mouthed my women. Finally I found a women who was a keeper but I had to go through a couple of bad marriages get to the women I have today (21 years married)...moms just wanna be in control as they always want to be NUMBER 1 in their son's life and they think no women is good enough for their darling son..bull...

Moms are mom, they always want the best for their children. This mother is having difficulty sees her childs faults in relation to her own failures as a parent.

Does it really matter? Let her feel the way she feels, and try your best to encourage your husband. Let him know that what she is saying isn't the way it really is. Hopefully she won't hurt him too much, and you will be enough love and support to help him through any emotional pain she causes him.

I guess because she's an overprotective mom...and he's a mama's boy. Try to ignore her..you married your husband NOT his mother.
