I think that by going global with this email, the daughter in law is the one who is culpable here. She has fallen into a trap of her own making. Alienating her boyfriend and mother in law is not a good start to a marriage. Scottish castles etc. also make me cringe. I have more sympathy with the Mother in law, who may have slightly overstepped the mark about the finances of Heidis' family, but it sounds like Heidi needs a reality check.
I dozed off when I first met my parents in law after a massive dinner they produced. I was mortified! A little humility goes a long way.
