Son-In-Law
What do I do when a son-in-law calls a mother-in-law, yells on the phone to her stating that she, her son, and the rest of the family has hated him for over ten years(which isn`t true). He also told her that she is not allowed in HIS house and cannot see her grandchildren anymore. This has happened to me, and my daughter is by his side. He told me to shut up to let him speak, but he was yelling. I did hang up because of the way he was speaking to me. I have been falsley accused of something that really isn`t true. My son-in-law has kidney disease and I have even offered my kidney if we`re a match.

I feel you need to speak to your daughter alone and try to find out what brought all this on. Maybe it`s the medication talking. I`m sure they are both very worried and they need family right now. If your daughter won`t speak to you, maybe you should try talking to a professional for advise. Please don`t give up, they need you, whether they realize it or not.
I wish you and your family well. Take care.

Thank you for your reply. I needed to hear that. I have read it already today 3 times to get me by. I had never thought about his medication, because he has been on it for so long. Thank you, again for taking the time to reply.

I don`t normally advise people on how they should handle their family problems, but your post reminded me of a similar experience in my family. As it turns out, the disease got worse, the medication was changed, and it had a really terrible mental effect. I don`t know if there were problems between all of you in the past, but even if there was, now is the time to try and correct them. (sounds like you`re going to have to be the bigger person)
I hope everything works out for you.
