I totally agree and have been setting expectations about how we will be getting away from my Mother in Law. There is definitely a strong co-dependence between my wife and her mother, and it is a very toxic relationships at times. My Mother in Law lost her husband, is currently on disability, and generally is a toxic relationship for my wife. I have seen it a number of times, where my wife looks to be turning the corner and figuring things out, our relationship starts getting better, and then out of nowhere my Mother in Law will bring up something about my wife’s brothers that totally de-rail everything. I know that it will be difficult to separate the two of them, but my wife and I both know that it what is needed.
