No Contact by DIL's?

Visited Mumsnet from email link and noticed a discussion about MIL's, it was alarming! It was full of hate speech about MIL's and many mums talked about NC. it means 'No Contact'; they deny contact to their children by their MIL's, they seem very self-righteous about this, comments like 'NC 5 years'. It's like a weapon they have and use. Have any of you experienced NC from DIL's? I hope not and I hope it is very rare. What do you think of this? Am I just late to this party? so sorry if this has been discussed before.

To the question, I've never experienced and I think it to be very rare.

Oh dear, what a sad thread! I have 2 DILs one is very sweet, I have the 2 GC regularly and we keep in regular touch, through either Ds or Ddil. The other one I finally gave up with. She was rude, controlling and (I suspect) influenced by my awful exH. My DS did nothing to help the situation and there has been no contact for over 3 years. There is a GS involved here too, which upsets me if I let it. I have taken the view that this is their loss and his brother and family's gain! Life, as someone said earlier in this thread, is too short.
