Brief Answer:
I think it is time to see a psychologist
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Although the experience shared by you is becoming common in our society specially from urban areas but it can not be considered normal at any extent. Lack of moral values and materialistic culture can be blamed to some extent despite the fact that peer pressure and individualistic approach is main cause for the same.
Now considering the current situation I think there is need for family therapy by an expert counsellor. As I remember from my past interaction, you are residing in XXXXXXX where many clinical psychologists are available. The problem is something which can be helped with counselling and no other option is available in this regard.
I request you to see an clinical psychologist without delay as emotional trauma can affect other family members if not intervened timely.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.

She refused to see any pshychiatrist or pshychologist as she thinks nothing is wrong with her ,,, she howls and cries loudly if my son disobeys any of her unreasonable demand like she says stop talking to ur parents and constant threat of suicide if he disregard one small thing too !! Don’t kno how to handle
And thou she’s an mba and has worked for a year , now her theory is why should I work when my husband is earning and whole day either crying sleeping eating or going out movies !!! No friends , just wants to be isolated with my son , my son is really on brink of depression so are we
Brief Answer:
I do not think there is no problem
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.
Considering the narration provided by you I do not think there is no problem. There is definite problem with relationship and a simple help of relationship counselor can do miracles both for her and family. Although it needs more elaboration but I think there is personality disorder which keeps bringing the problem to herself and others in family.
Being in country like XXXXXXX visiting a psychiatrist or psychologist is considered Taboo but does not mean there is psychiatric illness. To solve the day to day problems of life psychologist are much of help and same need to be communicated to your daughter in law.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.

Hello,
Thanks for follow up and more updates.
With collection of more information I feel there is issue with abnormal personality although it needs more elaboration as communicated in my last answer.
I do not think I will be able to help you properly sitting 1000 km away. Despite the all odds there is definite need for mental health professional intervention and nobody can deny this fact.
I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.
