Distance your self . Don't stand or stay around people that you do not care for . That's your mother n law . You don't really have to talk to her do you ? NO! . So keep your self away from her and tell her to keep her self away from you .

First, accept the negative evaluation you have for her without judgment. Next, accept her for who she is understanding that she is likely a 'victim' of cultural shaping. If she knew how, she'd run a better psychology. Feel empathy for her, realize she hasn't been able to overcome the problems of life, instead she's internalized them and they've become her.

She may be bothersome or maybe even mean, but do your best to realize that everyone needs to be loved. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. The ones you hate could very well teach you more than you think.

To stop hating someone you must realize hating is pointless and you only harm yourself. Mostly It’s our interpretation of other people’s actions that makes us hate them. We cause our own hate. Then think about the positives for example she created and raised your spouse. Lastly remember all us humans have pain and suffering, and work on developing compassion for the issue she may have in her life. Hate and anger are our most toxic emotions.

see her as a person who has a reason why she behaves the way she behaves. I took her son away, so she feels lonely and angry, yet on the other hand she does many things unconsciously and not on purpose. There are many good things about her too

Hatred is a very generic emotion. Try and find out what is it that is really bothering you. in all likelihood it can be the little stuff like, how she questions you on every action of yours, or may be how she thinks nothing you do seems to be right, or may be even ensures that yours husband is aware of all that is not right. Package them in a box called Mother in law irritants and every time she does something new just pull it there. Now think of a way to get rid of everything that you have inside that box every day. May be make a physical action of taking it out and pouring it out in a drainage. you have to let it go. and sometimes it feels stupid. But your hatred is coming from the pent up irritation and unless you make a vent it won't go. However having said that, any kind of verbal or physical abuse is non acceptable. But even for that you have to clear your mind and ensure that you are in a state of mind to stand up to the odds.

Start realizing that she is the woman that raised the person you chose to spend the rest of your life with. Slowly, you'll see the reasons why she is loved by your spouse, and slowly, you'll love her as your mother as well.

Ah, this is a great question. Personally, I have a great relationship with my mum in law, but things have not always been easy. There is always some understandable friction between two women who want to feel like the most important person in the same man's life. However, what has been really important for me, is to realise that my mum in law, is the singular most important reason that I found my soul mate and everything I wanted in a man. My husband is a wonderful human being, and I think his mom played an important role in raising him to be so. More importantly, I realised that we both want the same thing, which is to love and cherish her son/ my man and to keep him as happy as he deserves :) I can fully understand that it must be difficult for her to watch her little baby boy create his own family and reorient his priorities from her. That must be a lot to come to terms with. Therefore, I try to treat her with the same understanding and empathy that I hope my future daughter in law will find me deserving of. And in doing so, I realised that when you are open and love them unconditionally, they return the same affection manifold :) I am eternally grateful to her and love my mum in law! Share if you do too :)
