I would say that building families and communities is also about exclusion and inclusion. In my own family--on both sides, i.e., my side and my wife's side, I have found that when the new wife comes into the family, not all parents have been able to overcome their inbuilt inability to accept and include the new entrant in the heart of the family. There is some kind of a learned helplessness, a sort of automatic behaviour which prevents this integration, with disastrous consequences not just for the girl who comes in, but for her husband and the entire family. When you look at communities, is this not what the problem is: one of learned behaviours, leading to automatic helplessness? An unquestioning acceptance of the way things are--to use an oft quoted (though very irritating) expression, "we are like this only...?" You have been very fortunate that in her life time, your mother in law accepted you with her full heart and embraced you. You are blessed! May her soul rest in peace.Guruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506895180196342097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-65291602691610016142010-09-27T14:51:39.780+05:302010-09-27T14:51:39.780+05:30Welcome to the world of blogging.

The personal is political and I see you've plunged headlong into that. Good writing. Good luck and look forward to see your posts in the future.Deepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786852799531767111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-25312264250496182032010-09-27T12:09:23.689+05:302010-09-27T12:09:23.689+05:30please remove word verification. so that we can co...please remove word verification. so that we can comment freelyశిరీషhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547993933173068305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-68947762278677967782010-09-27T12:07:01.713+05:302010-09-27T12:07:01.713+05:30Dear Meera,

I think you were very fortunate to have a mother-in-law who accepted you as a part of the family - something that is at variance from the stereotype. I think its a result of sound education and upbringing from both of you. <br /><br />Yes, a woman's world is indeed different and complex. I think it would have been a challenge even if it did not involve an inter-religious marriage. The dynamics would have just been different.<br /><br />I saw my own eldest sister initially struggling with the idea of her son marrying a malayali girl from another religion. The malayali girl is now as much a part of our extended family as any of the church-going types.<br /><br />Communicating with my own mother was difficult for me. With that kind of experience, I appreciate your relationship with your mother-in-law.<br /><br />Your blog makes interesting reading - especially in helping men gain insight into the female world. Keep going at it Meera, I am sure you have many more interesting things to share!C. Vasanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881795260656133172noreply@blogger.com
