Forgot her. Who needs her any way? Invite people that you loved ?

I won't say you're wrong, but it's not good for your karma to hold a grudge in your heart against her. Give her the benefit of the doubt and keep inviting her to functions. If she's apologizing to your husband, that's at least a step. After all, it's hard to apologize and she's showing some type of remorse. Take the high road and keep the door open for her to come in.

Yes and No! I think you should still be the bigger person for many reason but to name a few:
1. your kids! what kind of example are you showing them
2. your husband! it is his mother no matter how wrong she does you. You'll never change his love/ opinion of her
3.For you piece of mind!! knowing your right in the eye that matter is all that MATTERS!!
Whether you might be right its still wrong to let hard feeling get between family. Its all you have!!

not wrong, but there are better ways to handle this. Have your husband talk to his mother and find out what is really going on. Try planning a cook out or something. Invite everyone and have your husband invite your MIL. See what happens. She may feel that she is not welcome, even though she is.

It sounds as if your mother in law is manipulative and conniving.She has a hidden agenda and is not woman enough to let you know. I would approach her about that fact one time and one time only, then wait for her to tell you what ever it is that she is harboring. Trust me it's something there.

Is this new behavior? or is it the same as always. If it is new, then have her son take her to the Dr. It sounds like she is depressed. Meds will help her to be back to normal.

i don't think so.. she definitely could of called you.. all she has to do is pick of the phone and tell you what's up.. it doesn't matter if it's true or not... but that fact that she doesn't even bother telling you is just saying that she really doesn't care enough to give you an explanation..

no, you are not wrong, she isn't worth the time of day, you've been more than nice to her. if you want to, you could just keep inviting her to functions just to be polite but know she won't be there.
