Out of control stepmom confronts her husband's ex-wife in a Target because her mother-in-law gave her a 30th birthday present, demands she give the gift to her: 'She told me I'm trying to keep my claws in ex's family instead of accepting I'm an ex'

Here at Memebase, we're always talking about the crossed telephone lines of blended families; with so many adults and kids in a familial orbit, it's often difficult to keep up with every family member you're not required by law to interact with. Even if a family member is technically "not part of the family" anymore, the bonds they've built with the family they've split from can run deep. If your brother and his wife divorced, you might still be close with her and want to maintain the relationship you've built over the years, despite how he feels about it. When grandkids are involved, you're bound to want to maintain some connection with the other parent of your grandchildren, even if your adult child isn't the most amicable. The grandmother in this story tried to extend an olive branch to the mother of her grandchildren that she lost contact with, and her ex-daughter-in-law was punished handsomely for accepting it.

It might not hurt to get the mother-in-law involved in the conflict resolution. If she were to tell her son's wife that this gift has nothing to do with her or her husband, she might start to see the forest for the trees.
