Having a strained relationship with a daughter-in-law can be a challenging and draining experience for both parties involved. However, having a positive and healthy relationship with one’s daughter-in-law can lead to a stronger and more harmonious family dynamic. Here are some strategies on how to deal with a difficult daughter-in-law:

1. Communication is key
One of the primary reasons for misunderstandings and conflicts between in-laws is a lack of communication. Keeping an open line of communication is vital to bridging gaps and fostering positive relationships. Initiate conversations with your daughter-in-law, listen attentively and empathetically, and avoid casting judgment.

2. Be respectful and kind
As cliché as it may sound, sometimes it’s a matter of being the ‘bigger person.’ Being respectful and kind to your daughter-in-law can disarm any negativity from the situation. Attend to greetings, celebrate special occasions, and extend invitations. Kind gestures can go a long way in building relationships.

3. Give each other space
Sometimes all it takes is space for individuals to work out their conflicts on their own. Practising healthy boundaries and giving each other space can prevent tensions from escalating. Allow your daughter-in-law to maintain her independence and privacy and respect her decisions without imposing your values on her.

4. Acknowledge and accept differences
It’s common for people to have differences in opinions or worldviews. It’s essential to approach these differences with an open mind and an accepting attitude towards each other. Respect her choices and boundaries, acknowledge her opinions and lifestyles, and avoid prejudging. Remember that everyone is entitled to his or her own beliefs and feelings.

5. Seek solutions together
If there are issues that need resolving, work together to find solutions. Approach problems with the willingness to listen and understand each other’s perspectives. Avoid attacking, blame, or shaming. Instead, focus on finding common ground and working towards a healthy resolution where everyone benefits.

6. Consider external help
Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the relationship remains strained. In those cases, seeking outside help to mediate the conflicts may be needed. A trained therapist will be able to help bridge gaps and facilitate communication.

In conclusion, relationships take effort and time to build, including the ones we have with our children’s partners. Building a healthy relationship with your daughter-in-law is essential to creating a peaceful and harmonious family. Remember to be respectful, allow space, acknowledge differences and work towards solutions together. With patience, understanding and persistence, positive and meaningful relationships can be built.
