Hi all,
I have been engaged with my fiancé for close to a year now and our wedding is happening next month. Prior to this we've been dating for 3 years already. Our relationship have had our ups and downs and we've dealt with challenges and come so far right now.
My fiancé lives with her mom who is separated. She is already 25, yet she is still under the 'control' of her mom. For example, my fiancé does not attend cell group because her mom does not approve of it. This is among many other examples.
My concern is after marriage, how will I be able protect my family from interference with my mother in law in a respectful way that does not offend her?
Just recently, she was frustrated by my father in law, who she's separated from, and started taking it out of us. She shouted as us and asked to be left alone or she would throw bricks at us. This was the first time she display such behaviour towards me.
I don't want to simply take her daughter away from her. And I know my fiancé loves her mom and needs her time with her mom and likewise her mom with my fiancé. I hope you all can give me some ideas what I can prepare for and possible situations that may arise and what I can do.
