DIL called me a pathetic excuse of a mother and said I should be ashamed of myself.

Son wont talk to me in months now

AIBU thinking there’s no reason ever to be this horrible to your mother in law who is just trying to have a relationship

You know one of those issues OP says she didn’t bring up to them? She actually rang her son at 9pm about it and had a row over it. All because he buys her the same thing every year for Mother’s Day and DIL gets nicer things for her mum . She gets jealous when she sees the gifts on DIL’s mum’s Facebook. Interestingly, one of the boundaries she mentions is not to contact DIL’s mum on Facebook anymore. Pure coincidence I’m sure.

OP is not a reliable narrator .

@EwwPeople thanks for this
@LonelyMIL
Do you not realise ringing your son about the mother's day gift was out of line?

What your DIL buys for her mum is none of your concern.

You can't be saying they don't speak to you for no reason when you do things like this. It doesn't make sense.
