so she sacrificed her husband...
for her grandson and a deadbeat daughter in law.
shareShe wasn't a good person to begin with... it was made clear she didn't get along with the daughter in law before the son died so why the sudden change. It made no sense.
shareHow was it made clear she wasn’t a good person.
Yes, she clearly believed she could “mother” better than her daughter-in-law.....but that describes about 75% of grandmothers out there.
She said at one point she wasn't nice to her daughter in law. Just how evil she was no one knows because the movie never gave that amount of detail. But by her own admission she wasn't nice.
shareIt seemed to me that that was just an admission that she was bossy and didn’t think DIL was capable of raising her Grandson right....as an attorney that works in family law....I can tell you with certainty, that is not an uncommon thing for Grandmas.
If it was substantially worse than that....I don’t think DIL would have even considered her offer to come back.... Clearly DIL comes to believe that whatever she thought of Diane Lane....her new MIL is much, much worse.
Yes the DIL thought the old granny was better than the new one. Of course given her willingness to be a punching bag for the new husband her ability to make intelligent decisions is already suspect.
shareI am really concerned about your social life if not seeing eye to eye with a person makes one automatically "evil". No way in hell that was insinuated anywhere.
