This woman is just plain ignorant. Avoid all interaction with this ignorant hater. But then again, maybe she's just having a really bad diaper rash right now.  |

I agree with DL, I'd just avoid interaction with her (which sounds easy enough given that you've never met her). Since there was some FB connection, I'd make sure to actually block her on FB so she a see anything you post or are tagged in at all.  |

I think we need to have compassion for this woman as opposed to hating her. Compassion and understanding at the fact that she comes from an older generation when being different was frowned upon. She speaks out of ignorance due to her own misunderstandings and values of today.
All you can do is wish her peace and hope that one day she will come to a general understanding that you did not make her daughter this way, and hope that she will come to the understanding that her daughter is being true to herself. Hopefully she will one day for her own sake be able to accept that.
She is to be pitied more than anything.

Thank you, Hangman. I was having a difficult time considering her point of view because I was so angry at the fact that I was being accused of something as terrible as lying to my wife about having a child. However, you are very correct. I should try and feel compassion towards her. Perhaps one day she will see things differently.  |

But also be aware that this woman does not accept you in any way. I had a similar situation in my family. One of my cousins got cancer and went to her grave, hating her mother; who broke up her marriage. That's what I believe the grandmother is doing, she's attempting to break up your marriage. |

You have been given perfect advice below... my own advice is that people like her are so bored with their lives, that then feel the need to create drama..she is the one with the problem... just ignore her because if she knows it's getting to you then she feels she has won. and if your mother in law believes her lies, then she also has a problem. The only important person in your life right now is your wife, everyone else can take a seat.  |
