When my husband writes or sends her emails she quickly responds to him? The weird part about it is she was the wife of a pastor and speaks about God/Jesus/being a good Christian. I am confused?

All I can say is I'm so sorry you have a mother-in-law like this. She's obviously not a rational, sensible person with any sensitivity to other people and their feelings, so it may be a constant battle for you and your husband to keep her in check. Of course you can try to have a talk with her (you and your husband together, so she'll maybe take you seriously), but from the way you describe her I'm not sure if anything you say would sink in. She seems pretty dense. Does your mother-in-law live alone? Maybe she acts this way because she's just really lonely or doesn't have anything to occupy her time? Has she been a little crazy throughout your husband's life or is this a new thing? If it's new, maybe she actually has some mental illness. It's something to consider. Good luck! You will need it! :)

You are doing your part so keep it up. You did not say how long this has been going on adn maybe she is just having a hard time with her son looking to you rather than her. In time she should get ver this. If she is talking about Jesus etc. the bible does say for a husband to turn from his mother to his wife. (Not worded exactly like that but similar-I believe its cling to) Either way just keep trying it will pay off in the end. I have been married 18 years and it took about 5 to build a relationship with my mil.

It is your husband's job to talk to his mother as your mother in law is trying to tell you in a nice way that she is not looking to have a relationship with you. Sad as it sounds it has nothing to do with being a Christian it has to do with being a mother in law. Since your husband is not doing anything to to help Best you can do is speak to your father in law and let him know that your hurt and would like to know if you did something to offend her. I am sure as a pastor/husband he might be able to smooth things over.

She needs to let go of her son and realize you are his new woman in his life. Sounds like she is a little jealous and doesn't mind being rude to you. The wife of a pastor has nothing to do with the situation. You would think she would know better,though.

Maybe call her and make sure she is getting your emails? You of course know she is, but then you can ask her why she never emails you back.

Maybe she doesnt know how to maintain that kinda relationship with you. Its not about like or dislike or Christian. You could ask her about it but most people prefer a face to face relationship with inlaws.

then stop writing her...
i haven't a clue why she doesn't respond to your emails, beside the fact that she's rude.
take care of you and please dont let her get to you. run your own emotions, and don't all her ignorance to control you feelings, hon. it's not worth it.

She's being biased. Don't communicate with her anymore.
