Well hot damn and hallelujah! I'm sorry that things with his mother came to this, and I hope she stops being such a child sometime soon...but it sure is nice to see you realizing that you're worth loving. Good on Mick, and good for you!

Wow...What a stunner, huh? Way to go MICK BABY !!! Yes it sucks that his own Mother forced him into having to make such a foolish and unnecessary decision about who he should chose to love, but by God I know he made the right decision. My deceased Hubby's Mother made him do the same concerning me towards the end of his life and she too LOST. Very sad for both of our men to lose a parent that way but what both of these women did was WRONG. Hopefully Mick's mother will come to see that she fucked up badly in her quest to avoid saying "I'm sorry about what happened to you La", and will ask for a second chance with both of you. Good luck and God bless you and Mick Honey. You indeed picked one Hell of a man this round and I am so happy for you both !

Mick did good, as he should. I'm sorry it came to that - but no mother in her right mind should force that choice. Love is not a competition!

Thank goodness. It is a shame that it has to be this way, but seriously, what normal mother would act that way? Even when we didn't care for my son's girlfriend, mostly because she made it ever so clear she didn't even,want to be in our house and would put on her jacket to go as soon as dinner was over, we were civil, polite and friendly and would never have asked him to make that choice. He eventually figured it out on his own and has grown up and now has a girlfriend who actually likes us, wants to be here. Who knows what would have happened otherwise. Thank goodness Mick knows the difference between love and power.

That is awesome and quite weighty. I think it's a big deal for anyone to give up a parent, even if it is for a spouse. Such conflicts have ruined plenty of other marriages. It's comforting to know that his love is that stable and strong. I imagine that it's very bittersweet, for you, to have it end like this. It would be a very sad thing if she chose to spend the rest of her life estranged from her son, a wonderful daughter-in-law, and a sweet step-grandson because she's too stubborn/proud/deluded to do otherwise. *HUG*

Good for both you and Mick, sticking together and knowing what is right. A shame it had to come to such a choice and hopefully there will be some peace in the future but no matter Mick made the right choice

What drama! Of course Mick picked you. You are amazing. He is exceptional. What is wrong with Mick's mom? Seriously, has dementia set in? To accept her beloved son's relationship choices seems like fundamental parent psychology 101. To throw a big tantrum like that would make any child, from age 2 to 100, go running as far and fast into the arms of the "opposition" as he can!!! Cool that it happened, though hope it blows over and the old lady comes to her senses and realize life is too short to have your ulta matums backfire in your face like that!

How sad for everyone that MIL pushed things to this level. Serious wounds on her soul too. I hope this settles and life takes the best path with everything considered. Happiness is our birthright. Glad to see you are more willing to claim it. Blessings, my friend.

Poor Mick - how horrible to be put in a situation like that. Good for him for refusing to be a pushover and refusing to be pushed into doing the wrong thing (by which I mean ignoring an evil, the groping incident).

It looks to me like his mother made the choice she prefers slimy cousin to her own son. I hope SC will give her all the comfort, love, and help she would have gotten from a loving son and his loving family. We'll all hold our breath to see how long that takes. And that is a lovely picture of you today!
