History / The Celts in Poland. [71]

Thanks SeanB!! Very interesting. I read this some time ago, and had been searching for it to read again. Most of my ancestors were Scots-Irish (US term), or better known as Ulster Scots with a little English/Irish mixed in.

Love / All Polish women can't be nutters can they? [257]

all very nice girls, but all with one thing in common... all feel they need to totally ignore me and cut me off all with little reason, all about things which could be sorted with communcation,

a little off subject, but that's the exact treatment I get from my Polish daughter-in-law. I have been very confused. Her family seems very nice and genuinely kind. She seems to really love my son. In my mind, if she truly loved my son, she would at least treat me with basic human respect. She refuses to speak to me for whatever reason. In 27 yrs as a parent, I've never had a problem with the friends/gfs of my sons. Most people, I would be able to communicate with, but she treats me like I am not even worth speaking to. At first, I just thought she was quiet, but really she has been consistent in her attitude.

I know that can be a common stereotype in other cultures, but I was demonized before she met me, and there appears to be no point of return. No one who knows me would believe that I could've done anything to deserve this treatment. I spoke with my Polish dr about it, and she knew exactly what I was talking about. She has a friend who is having the same problem with her son's wife. My dr says that they don't want to accept us into their family. Her family seems to love me, so I don't get it. I've always had great relationships with my sons friends/gfs. None of them would believe this. I came here with an open mind, but my son's love for her is the only thing keeping my from completely detesting her. In the beginning, when I'd try to be nice and get to know her, she would rudely tell me that she was in a bad mood, then it was she doesn't want to know me or anything about me??? I am the stupid one who talked my son out of breaking up with her before I met her.
