Some people just don't think before they speak unfortunatly & I'm so sorry you had to deal with that.
My MIL is very much the same - she doesn't like us talking about our daughter due to her fiance having strict religious beliefs, pretends she was never born etc.... My husband & I don't have any pictures of our bub due to severe deformities (she suffered from severe hydrocephalus & the fluid they had to remove before I could give birth caused her head/skull to cave in at the back) by our own choice as we wanted to think of our lil one as the perfect angel we all see our bubs as but we had gorgeous pictures done through the site 'To Write Their Names In The Sand'. I paid for the photos & we gave a set to my folks, hubby's father, mother, my grandma, his grandparents as well as for ourselves. Everyone else adored them (my grandma even cried when we gave them to her she loves them so much - Ashley is her first great grandchild) but my MIL called it a 'cheap' Christmas present. I was furious that she said that to hubby & he was gutted that something that was seen by precious & priceless to everyone else in the family was seen as cheap to his own mother.
I think what you did sounds like a beautiful way to remember your son. He's your lil angel & you are free to remember him in whatever way you choose to, especially in your own home. All our lil angels are perfect in every way, no matter what anyone else thinks.
