Mother-In-Law Stories

I know that most of this
site is for venting, but I wanted to post the other side. I have
been very lucky that my SO's parents are so wonderful. My SO and
I have a darling little girl, and we raise my son from my previous
marriage. When DD had her first birthday, we celebrated at his
parent's house. When we got there, they had a large gift on the
table. When it came time to open presents, though, they announced
that it wasn't for DD. I was a tad confused; but then after DD
had opened her presents, they gave the large one to my son. It
was a toy car that he loved. I just thought that it was so great
that they thought to include him in the presents so he wouldn't
feel left out. They have always been very nice to me. I'm sure
that doing so can be hard, as I have very few social skills. And,
they have made sure to include my son as part of the family, even
though he isn't related to them by blood, and my SO and I aren't
married. Even my ex DH's parents were nice while we were married.
I felt worse about having to separate from them than I did about
DH.

DH and I moved into my
IL's house to help take care of their farm (because FIL was terminally
ill). After THREE months, I had had it. MIL would call SIL and
BIL in the northeast to discuss decisions made in another part of
the country, but not tell me. I didn't feel appreciated, and I
was often left out of the information loop while I put my life on
hold. The day I finally moved back home, my MIL asked if there
were any pictures of "just the five of them" from our
wedding. I said no. There are pictures of the six of us, and that
would just have to do. What a way to feel included! And, she wonders
if it was her fault that I moved. COME ON!!!

Some history on MIL:
When DH moved in with me, she came to my yard and called him outside.
She then proceeded to call me trash, and told him to get his stuff.
When we started dating, his father tried to IMPRESS him into the
military. When that didn't work, and we announced that we were
getting married, MIL and FIL pitched a fit! MIL called almost every
single day. Then, as d-day approached, she called several times
a day. We took the phone off the hook. So, she then drove down
and yelled and screamed at him in the yard! She has made my life
a living he!!, literally. She won't leave us alone. She shows
up whenever she wants, uninvited. I want to scream! After we were
married, DH and I both sent her an e-mail telling her to mind her
own business, and to back off or we'd cut her off. She came to
the house and took DH for a ride in her car, and then she accused
me of writing both e-mails! When DH corrected her, she denied it
and told him that she knew he was lying! She then called him "blood
of my blood, bone of my bone", and then said, "We two
are one," while she petted him. It creeped DH out. He felt
ill when he came home. This woman is crazy. She refuses to accept
that anything she ever does is wrong. Even when DH tells her to
her face, she denies it! She won't leave us alone. I don't know
what to do at this point. She's made it clear that she won't stop,
ever. She wants us divorced, and she wants my DH under her control.
And, if she has to destroy his life to do it, then so be it.
