OPINION | DEAR ABBY: Woman wants her abusive mother-in-law kept away
Dear Abby: I used to have a great relationship with my mother-in-law. I considered her one of my best friends, until her severe drug and alcohol abuse began to ruin her life. Her mental health issues came out, and her lashing out reached a peak shortly before I married her son. After a barrage of nasty messages, she was no longer welcome at our wedding. I have blocked her from contacting me. She does reach out to my husband to talk only about herself.
