Step by step sounds like the way to take it. I do feel for you, very much, and I'm glad that you are able to understand my point and step back and consider what it would be like to be her. Since you've been a young mother, and she has not been a mother-in-law, that might just be what it takes to work this out. It would be much harder for her to empathise with you, since she lacks the frame of reference. I really, sincerely, hope that this situation gets better soon.
