Mother's Favorite Child Distorts Family Attention
A reader laments her widowed mother in law's obsession with Pat, the 42 year old single daughter, which sidelines other siblings and shapes inheritance. Annie advises the wife to lower expectations, accept Pat as a spousal substitute, and focus on family balance rather than contesting the favor. In a separate note, Nosy Wife asks about spousal boundaries for phone calls. Annie replies that a little openness can ease trust without major concessions.
