Haven't spoken to my mom in almost a year.

My husband and I have been very happily married for almost a year now. But my mother hates him and has come to hate me as well. We haven't spoken since the wedding (which the day before she said she wasn't going to attend). Well she did attend it and it was an amazing wedding for us, but shortly after the wedding we haven't spoken since. The last 3 times I called her she started screaming at me and then hung up on me. She accused my husband that he is trying to distance me from the family. My husband always says to me anytime I want to go visit my parents that we can make tickets and go. I told my mom this and she said I am lying about it. I have a very close and loving relationship with my dad, and although she talks bad about me to him, he doesn't agree with her and we are in touch everyday. Would you contact your mom or give her up for good? When I have kids, they will have one less grandmother, but I think she may be a bad influence on them and speak bad about their father. What do you think?

Do you think I should make the efforts with my mom?

Don't give up on your mom. You only have 1 mom in this world and nobody can't replace her. It's sad that she doesn't understand you. Maybe you could try talking to her and ask why she hates your husband. If she really hates him, maybe you can ask her at least to be civil to him. Good luck and I wish your problem would be solved eventually.

I can't talk to her though. Everytime I do she screams at me and hangs up when I defend my husband from her attacks against him. I try to change the topic but that's all she ever wants to talk about.
