I have been with SAM for 5 years, my future mother in law thinks that I am not good enough for her daughter; she has done everything in her power to turn Sam against me. She has on certain occasions told me that she controls her daughter. E.g. what she says goes. Usually when I am in her company she will be nice and pretend that she cares, but when she has Sam alone it’s a different story. Sam sees or talks to her mother at least once a day, and believes she is wise and will believe her mother over me.

Her mother is very deceiving, I confronted SAM with this issue for the first time recently after years of trying to be strong. SAM does not like when I say anything bad about her mother and it usually lands up in a fight.

I have distanced myself from her mother as much as possible but this has caused SAM to think that I don’t care about her family. I really care for her farther, brother and sister. But the mother controls them all. I find that I am fighting a loosing battle and don’t know what to do.

Sam’s previous relationship was also destroyed in part by her mother, so I don’t feel alone. I don’t want too loose SAM but I think that her love for her mother will prevail and I will not.

What do I do,
