I have a problem with my stepmother-in-law. Stepmother-in-law because he is the mistress of my father-in-law and they have a 2-year old baby. They live at a small room attached to our house (my husband's inherited house. I don't know what happened because she is already cold to me. The day before she became cold, we were still happy talking then suddenly she ignores me and frowns everytime she sees me. I am so sad because of the way she treats me. I don't want people to get mad at me especially when I don't know the reason. I am so confused.

Perhaps you could have a heart to heart talk with her. You will not be able to know the reason if you won't. Just do it lovingly , and i am sure she will tell you.
From there you can make corrections.

I tried to approach her but she always ignores me by pretending to attend to her son. She avoids me by diverting her attention to her son even if her son doesn't need her mother like when he is playing, running or doing something kids do.

I will give her a gift on Christmas. I just hope we are okay before the celebration.

Maybe you can buy a nice gift to her and then when you give it to her, say that it's a peace offering for anything that could have made her angry with you. That way, she will open up what went wrong.

She is just 26. My father-in-law who is her husband (they are not married) is already 67. My husband is 21 while I'm 28. Since we just have 2 years age gap, we get along well. She and my father-in-law don't have income so my husband and one of my brother-in-laws support them financially. Helping them is not a problem to me because we are blessed and our business is successful. I don't know if it's about the money why she gets cold on me. Maybe she heard something from my husband that's why she treats me like that.

Maybe she heard some harsh gossip about her that you told to someone and pass on your stepmother-in-law. Or she accidentally heard you saying bad things about her with other people or your husband. I think that is one of the big reason why suddenly someone changed at you. You should talk to her straight to know the root of it.

It would be difficult for any one here to make a guess either. One possibility is that you are becoming an indirect target for something that she is cut up with your husband and she may have this completely wrong notion that you may be the cause. Another possibility could be that she has some bad scheme in her mind to extract more from your family.
It would be better for you to remain calm & composed and not get provoked. Just try for opportunities to have a heart-to-heart talk and see if you will resolve the issue.
Wishing you Good Luck!

the only thing you could do to know would be to ask your stepmother-in-law about that. you could also think back of the things you have done that could have possibly enraged her. good luck!

Well if it happens just once, maybe she's in a bad mood or she has a problem. However, if it happens frequently most probably there's a reason behind why she's suddenly becomes cold at you. It would be best if you go and talk to her so you can clear out things with her. I hope your relationship with your stepmother-in-law will turn okay again.
