Hey Rhap:

As I mentioned to Always, my concern with talking it out with her is that in the past when my husband chose to address an issue with her by stating that it hurt his feelings that she did whatever it was that she did, she chose to make a mockery out of us and out of what my husband had said.

My other concern is that if nothing is said and if we chose to distance ourselves/our daughter from her she'll only get nastier!

Let me know what you think!

Well, from my personally experience with this type of person....
YOU have to stand firm and NEVER let her push one way or the other, and while it may take years to get this through her mental state of being - it will be worth it in the long run.... for both you, your husband, your daughter and YES even the thick headed mother-in-law.

I had gone through a similar situation with my own family and while it took any were from 5 to 7 years to get them to understand that WE would not be pushed around.... it was worth the fight I took for the sake of my children, now all is well.

Gook Luck.... (and) Stand your Ground!!!
