SUBJECT:

Raising 5 girls

I have 3 daughters of my own and my husband and I gained custody of his 2. Their mother has supervised vistation. My problem is this. This past weekend the 12 year old and 2 of the other girls went to my husbands mothers for the weekend to give us some time together. But all weekend she would call us to tell us about the complaints that the 12 year old has about me. We use to have a great relationship (the 12 year old and myself) but the grandmother likes to keep things stirred up. I talked with the my husbands daughter as did he about her complaints some of the things she did say and some she didn't. I take all this very personally and feel like I have to walk on egg shells. My mother in law was not a perfect mother at all as my husband can tell you. He grew up in an abusive situation. But to hear her she has all the answers. I feel like we are loosing the 12 year old , I don't know how to deal with my mother in law and it is causing problems in my marriage. I need help.
