Narcissistic Mother-in-Law's Attempts to Ruin Your Relationship

Toxic mothers-in-law can destroy relationships for a variety of reasons, including:

Control and power: Some toxic mothers-in-law may feel the need to control their adult children and their spouse's lives, which creates conflict. They try to manipulate situations to get what they want and feel threatened when their control is challenged.

Insecurity and jealousy: Some mothers-in-law may feel insecure about their own relationship with their child or may be jealous of their child's spouse. This can lead to behavior that is critical, dismissive, or hostile toward the spouse.

Boundary issues: Some mothers-in-law may struggle with respecting boundaries and may overstep their role in their adult child's life or their child's marriage. This can create tension and conflict with the spouse and their family.

Unrealistic expectations: Some mothers-in-law may have unrealistic expectations of their child's spouse or may have certain ideas about what their child's relationship should look like. When these expectations are not met, it can lead to disappointment and conflict.

Past traumas: Some mothers-in-law have unresolved past traumas or issues that they bring into their relationships with their child and their child's spouse. This can lead to behavior that is hurtful and damaging to the relationship.

If they are both narcissistic or extremely toxic please distance yourself or go no contact.
