I recently married for the second time. And though my new mother-in-law is pretty hard to deal with, I believe all mothers-in-law are. My new mother in law has the bonus of the fact that my first mother in law was one of the most horrible people I've ever met. My one piece of advice is: be honest with your mother in law, don't just ignore her. It really doesn't do anyone any good, and your husband will resent you for pushing her out of your lives. You have to realize that you have to do what's best for your mental health. You don't have to be the perfect daughter in law, but you can't completely shut her out. It doesn't help anyone.
