Terrible relationship with DIL - am I the problem?

Good Afternoon everyone. So late today that I wondered if I could be the first on Sunday! No excuses - but the reason was my Son telephoned this morning and three and a half hours just flew by! I know, shameful, but sometimes we just have to behave as if we're retired, don't you think?
Dropped in simply to say
Have the best Birthday in these weird and stressful times, dear Ellan. Know that you're loved, that's the most important thought to hold on to.
Hope your Birthday has been a good one, Beauregard and fingers crossed that your DH rallies sufficiently to celebrate with you this evening. If not, well DD will be a marvellous substitute and maybe he shouldn't push himself too much if he has pain. Just be careful out there - that stinking Virus is creeping around everywhere. Stay safe but enjoy yourselves.
Woah! Scentia, can't even get a few days away without it all going wrong. You spent some time together, that's the main thing. Maybe your little chap will not fare too badly. Fingers crossed that he'll get well quickly with so much youth on his side. No good saying maybe you shouldn't have gone - we can all be really smart with hindsight, can't we? As for your pooch, There.Are.No.Words. In the past I had the same thing happen directly behind me, whilst the Milkman and I laughed and gossiped on the doorstep. (Now I expect words fail you) 
Urms so sorry and especially as you must be stressed by this news, but don't feel bad that you can't fly to their sides. By the time you got home and quarantined and on and on....they will hopefully be well on the mend. Try not to worry, as long as you're in instant touch. Please continue to take care of yourself and your football-watching man! I'm now about to have a Zoom call with friends in Norfolk. They will probably complain about the weather but I can't make them jealous today - it's just starting to rain. Ah well. Worse things happen at sea - apparently
I can certainly feel the warmth of this thread has increased in the last few days as we all hold out our arms for a virtual group hug. It's so wonderful to know that others are thinking of you when you have worries and concerns. The lovely people on this thread are like the 4th Emergency Service.
Huge Saturday hugs to all 
Happy Birthday Ellanvannin
I'm very late reading the good morning posts today but I wanted to wish Beauregard a very happy birthday and extra special 80th birthday wishes to Ellanvannin. I hope you both have a lovely day.
Maw those roses are beautiful
And many happy returns from me too Ellan.
Welcome to the newbies.
Happy Birthday Ellen lovely lady - you deserve to be spoiled!
Wishing you a very happy birthday Ellan and festivities to look forward to next year 
Welcome to 19Maria61 and LadyHonoriaDedlock hope you enjoy this lovely thread each day.
Again, thankyou ladies---and Rufus, very kind of you all. xx
Not a seagull around today in this rain Rufus, and what's more I'd like to remind you that my age stops at this now
It's beginning to look like Kew gardens now so I'm hoping I've got enough vases, more than likely amongst the clutter crockery cupboard.
be celebrating my 80th but it's on hold until next year
Ellan Welcome to the OBE Club! Happy Birthday!
; but you can't do that, as much as you'd like to hang on to 80.
You'll be 81 next year, so face up to reality and give your friendly seagulls a few extra chips from me, even if they are Scousers!
Cheers and Good Health
OoRoo
