On a another note however. I have had a strained relationship with my mother at one point when she had feelings about my wife I felt were inappropriate. I took the side of my wife letting my mother know that she could accept us both or none at all. She come around and in the end found out her feelings were wrong. We have a wonderful relationship today.

I am glad the relationship is better today. My brother always made it a point to visit with my parents alone and kept a wonderful close relationship with them, till the end. I really think that is important, although you have a family, that you don't push away your first family. I think when there is that friction there, it could be because the mom is feeling like she lost her son, instead of feeling like she gained a daughter in law. Did that make sense to you?
