Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

reader, anonymous, writes (5 October 2006): His mother brought him up, nurtured him and made him the man he is today. To get between a parent and child is damaging and very sad for all involved. I agree mother in laws can become a pain, but it is only because they have a natural instinct to protect their offspring and love them unconditionally. Surely there is some way you can resolve the issues?

I agree with eyeswideopen that more information is needed. What type of relationship does your husband have with his mother? What type of relationship does she have with you? What behavior would you make you think of cutting of ties with family?
No matter what the answers are, many adult children do cut off all ties with their parents but it is their choice. If pushed into cutting ties resentment can be hard to avoid.
The best choice is to talk to your husband to the answers to the above questions and tell him how it makes you feel. Then let him make his choices how to deal with it all.

No.
Never.
The bond between a son a mother is way more important.
Imagine your sons wife doing that.
God am im only fourteen.
