In MIL's absence.................

Hi Padma,
You are correct .I feel really hurt when she does not allow me to do anything in the house.I feel like a stranger...She does not tell me where she is going if she goes out even when I am at home. She does not appreciate anything that I do which others appreciate instead open her mouth to tell some fault...Once she forgot to pay the EB bill and EB persons came to take off the fuse, since my DH was there they managed and she felt sorry for that , my DH asked her to give that responsibity to me , she denied.....What to do ?
If some small problem she never fails to call her sisters and share that she was hurt by me , hence I have very bad image in front of her relatives......I have not harmed anything to them but still has to take up this.
I have changed myself more than 100% to fit into the customs of my ILs , but still my MIL expresses strong feeling of dissatisfaction for me. But once good thing what I have seen in her is she complains abt me only to her relatives and NOT to my parents when they visit my house. I feel satisfied atleast in this aspect......

Regards,
Harsh.
