MIL is an ignoring narcissitic mother to my dh. It has taken him a while to come to terms with his guilt and anger towards her but he is getting there. What sets him back is the fact that SIL seems to have a totally different opinion of her. She says she is a laugh and on good form and even when we have been at the same occasion where MIL has clearly behaved terribly, SIL still cannot see anything wrong. This causes dh so much confusion and he even questions if he has got it wrong. MIL has shouted and screamed at SIL's husband in front of us all and always moans on about how useless he is, constantly criticises a demeans my dh and just behaves awfully in general and SIL must see this. Please enlighten me as to why she still thinks MIL is so great and dh should make more effort to see her (even though he is often physically sick after and she makes no effort with him).
