Mother-In-Law Stories
June 27, 2004

MIL is the most horrible,
abrasive person whom I have ever met. I can't possibly do a thing
that is up to her standards. When I first told her I was pregnant,
she immediately insisted that I use her OB/GYN because he is "the
best" (as are all her doctors). I have my own doctor and I've
been going to her for over 6 years, and I think she is great. I've
never had a problem with the care I've received. BUT, again, nothing
I do is good enough. So, she went behind my back and made me an
appointment with her OB/GYN, and then called me at work to tell
me that she was coming to get me to take me to this doctor. I was
floored! I was so angry that I couldn't even speak, so I told her
to cancel the appointment, and I hung up. She then called my DH,
crying to him that she only tries to help, but I am so mean to her.
Thankfully, DH isn't a spineless little boy who takes mommy's side,
although he didn't know the whole story, and he was a little confused
as to why I hung up on her. After I explained what had happened,
he called her to tell her that she needs to mind her own business,
and stop interfering with our personal choices. Well, that didn't
go over well at all. She has a way of twisting everything around,
and blamed the whole thing on me, and she even told him that I ASKED
HER to find me an OB/GYN!!!! And, of course, she went out of her
way to make me the appointment, and she took the day off from work
to drive me. Oh my goodness!! I am 30 years old, I have my car,
and am very much capable of driving. I also have had a wonderful
doctor for over 6 years. Why would I ask her to do all this for
me??? She is nuts. Absolutely crazy, and needs to be evaluated .
I'll tell you what - she will NEVER be left alone with this baby,
ever!!! This is not the first time that she has made up blatant
lies to make herself look like she's "helping" when she's
actually crossing the line and making a complete nuisance of herself.
She does not know the true meaning of "helping". She
will push and push and push, then nag, nag, nag if she wants me
to do something her way - the "better way". She is very
sneaky about all this, though. She never has conversations with
me when anyone is around. She will pull me aside or call me on
the phone - there are NEVER witnesses. I now refuse to be alone
with her, and I make our phone conversations very short. I also
bring up some of our conversations in front of her DH, my father-in-law.
He sometimes nearly falls off his chair when he hears what she has
been saying. I've had enough! I will no longer let her get away
with her shady behavior and lying. She puts on this facade of being
this wonderful, religious woman, yet she does nothing but lie, lie,
lie and she gets very nasty when she is unable to run other peoples'
lives. She absolutely hates the fact that I am on to her games
and . . .

My MIL has been a viper
from the beginning. There are endless stories of his single days
and nasty comments to me when DH was out of ear shot. She sits
between us on the couch, and rubs his back (ick)during church.
She tells me that I was getting saggy - 1 week after I had a baby.
She invited herself over, showing up unannounced. She gives me
tacky, cheap gifts - when everyone else got the good stuff. She
runs me down to other family members. She teaches my child bad
words in a foreign language. You name it. The woman has no sense
of the appropriate. No class. She uses curse words in front of
my young children. I could go on for days. The first 5 years or
so of our marriage was the hardest. My DH refused to see that she
could be this way, even though it was well known that she was horrible
to the ex-GF. I guess that I have learned to cope, but even the
sight of her name on caller-ID still makes my stomach lurch. Does
anyone have any great advice - some healing mantra that I could
employ to let go of this heavy baggage this woman brings to our
marriage?

Your Son From You. Get A Life
