Maybe create some hobbies with her. Go out with her more often to see what she likes. This way you can learn more about her. Bond over something you never that she liked. Mainly, try to find out what she likes.

First off - you're not alone. Many people feel stress resulting from their in-laws inherent need to protect their child. I would recommend when feeling this stress to acknowledge that it may not be coming from a place of anger but rather one of stress or concern on their part. Try to afford them the reasonable doubt you would like others to afford you.

Try to be open-minded and be willing to accept her. If you feel as if she isn't making n effort, then try approaching her or your partner.

It is very difficult sometimes to get on well with your in-laws, but just think about the fact that they gave you the person you love so much. They raised him/her and they were and part of his/her life. Try to find ease in this thought.

First off, what did your mother in law do? What has she done? What words were exchanged? By focusing on these questions, perhaps talking to her in a civilized way may make for reconciliation. On the other hand, I can relate to this question. My mother in law never made me feel welcome and always said hurtful things to me. In return, I could never fully love her. She never apologized for anything she did or said. After she passed, I wished I could have talked to her to gain her understanding.

Accepting that another person would take the place of one of our native parents - and often the most important people in our lives - is a though process. But sometimes hating does nothing good. To stop hating her I believe you should try to understand that it is for you own sake to accept the person as she is to stop suffering.

Try to see things from her point of view, talk to her and find a mutual like or dislike. Common ground helps a lot. Also, try to see things from a neutral perspective next time you see or talk to her. The automatic hate can could your judgment of her could paint a negative picture instead of positive.

Try to understand things from her point of view, it can be hard to accept someone new especially if they've done something to hurt you. Telling the person their problems helps get it off their chest.

Remember to try to find the good in her. Sometimes we either idealize or feminine others and that flip can switch in an instant. To remember that life is not black and white and that we all are only human, you may begin to see some positive.
