Ripping Up Her Mother Card

 

Hello Dr. Laura,

A few weeks ago my "someday daughter-in-law" called me upset about her mother.

I have known this lovely young lady for over 2 years now, and have heard many stories about her mom.  The "mom" has 4 kids from 3 maybe 4 different dads, married twice, shacked up now, and put her youngest up for adoption because then husband didn't believe he was the father. Her current shack up abused my "someday daughter-in-law" emotionally and mentally, and also her brother physically. The list goes on and on. This woman has been a horrible mother and woman.  My "someday daughter-in-law" has said being around our family has shown her what a real family, mother and father are supposed to be.

The reason for her call was that her grandfather had passed away and she was going to be traveling to Mississippi for the funeral.  She had receive calls from her mom and decided these calls were the icing on her cake and for no longer feeling guilty for not wanting her mom in her life any longer. I channeled you, and asked her if her mom was just a friend, would she keep that person in her life when she treated her badly. She said no. I said just because she was her "mom" was not a reason to keep putting herself through anxiety. She shouldn't feel guilty because she hadn't done anything wrong, and her "mom" had been the one doing wrong for 23 years. She felt better and was happy for me to listen and talk her through the situation.

I just wanted to thank you for all the great advise you give and all the calls you let us listen in on, so we can learn something for ourselves or to pass on to others. I appreciate you. And will continue to listen to your advice as my son will be asking her to marry him and I want to be a great mother-in-law.

Thank you,

Nina
