» wfross1115 - Getting a person to realize they need help

Our daughter In Law has alienated everyone and no one likes her. How do we get her to see she has a problem and needs help. She spends all her time in denial and blaming others. Now she won't even let us see our grandchildren because in trying to make her see, she has turned it around and insists it is WE who have the prolem. HELP! This is miserable. Any suggestions out there would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am sorry that you and your family are undergoing such a hard time.

Getting someone to see they have a problem is not an easy task, but anything is possible with the correct communication and knowledge of the kind of person you are dealing with.

1)What does your son have to say about all this?
2)Is your grandaughter in safe hands?
3)Why does your family dislike your daughter in law?

I ask these questions so it would be clearer for the moderator of this site to provide you with some suggestions on what to do.

Stay strong and keep a positive outlook on the end result of the happiness you would like your family to live in.

Answers to your questions.
1) My son has been manipulated and brainwashed by her. He won't even speak to us anymore.She has managed to convince him somehow that it is ALL of us that need help and not her. And she has him convinced that it is purely out of care and concern that he nor her children need to be around any of us until WE all get help. Also, she has threatened to leave him and take the children if he speaks to us. We believe she is afraid we will undo all of her brainwashing. Not sure.

2)We are somewhat concerned that our 3 grandchildren may not be in safe hands. This conflict has happened numerous times before, and in order to keep our son with her, on his side she has went as far as threatening suicide.

3.) Not just our family, but all of our friends, as well as our son's friends dislike her. She is very verbally abusive toward our son, and myself (Mother In Law) and our other son's fiancee. Our friends and family dislike her for the disrespect she often dispalys every chance she gets (usually when we step away for a moment.) And also that she always needs to be extremely overdramatic and be the center of attention in every conversation. It annoys everyone.

Any help or advice or more than appreciated. Thank you.
