I am 52F and my son(27M) married last year to his girlfriend(28F), Since the beginning she demanded to stay separately(We have a double floor house, It was agreed that son will stay with his wife on 1st floor and I will stay on ground floor), But my DIL demanded to live separately and son agreed, He bought an apartment nearby.

He used to send me monthly allowance for my meds and groceries as I don’t have stable income these days. My son earns good, but his wife stoped that, She clearly asked me to stop asking money from her husband and also forced emotionally my son to stop giving away cash to me.

We had this habit of weekend dinners at my place, She stopped that also…Its been 2 months she and my son visited my house. My son called me last night saying it’s not in his control now, and his wife gets very upset whenever he tries to convince her to visit me, She has given him the ultimatum to choose between me and her.

DIL said, that I am a bad mother to my son and I am trying to enmesh him and trying to use him as my emotional support because I am single and divorced .That’s why she don’t want me anyway near her husband.😌 AITA and a bad mom here?

Now, many will say go out have fun, Date again, Find men who loves you? I am 52 divorcee, No one wants to date me honestly, It’s either men who just wants sex or scammers who only want to sneaky record and take photos. I am single for more than 2 decades now.

PS. My son earns quite well, He wants to support me as she was supporting me for many years even before marrying his wife. I get that she don’t want to live in the same house with me, She shifted separately. Done. But then she started avoiding the weekend dinners that I put for my son? She stopped all the cash that my son was happily giving me, and to make her happy my son agreed to her. She is literally asking my son to push me out of this house also because she wants to sell it to buy something somewhere else. Now she blamed me to enmesh my own son? How is she justified here? And I am the bad mom?
