My DH has 2 DDs from a previous relationship. He gets them EOW, we all get along. MY DHs "mother" didn't attend my bridal shower or our wedding but went to his ex's baby shower. A baby from her BF who is cheating on her which results in her shoving his and her own kids, my SDs, in the car to chase him around town at all hours of the night trying to locate him at bars and everywhere else.
I haven't expended too much energy on this because I truly, truly don't care but what would cause a "mother" to betray her own son for some stranger. They were kids when they hooked up so I can understand that his "mother" feels a sense of "motherly bond" with the ex but she didn't come to our wedding and now we're expecting our first baby. This woman is fighting to watch the ex's infant but won't even know her own kin.
I find it extremely odd and just wondered if my DH has the worst genetics in the world... BTW, he is the polar opposite of this woman. I love him and feel sooooo horrible that she betrayed him like this... he's come to terms with it, I just don't want these unresolved feelings to erupt down the line.
Any insight on people like this, I've NEVER seen anything like it!

The only thing I can think of is that MIL wants to stay in good with the ex so she has more access to her grandchildren than just EOW.
Either that or she really doesn't like you. (I don't mean to sound hurtful, but that may be true.)
I would be grateful that your DH is the polar opposite of her, and be very cautious about how you allow her to participate in your life and the lives of your children. And probably I'd limit contact with her.
