Frequent
Fry Her TM
- sonotthedrama /Posted: 30-AUG-04
It's funny, but what really turned me against MIL
once and for all was not a big deal compared to some of the other
stunts that she has pulled. You see, I gave birth during
the flu scare this year, so children were not allowed on the maternity
floor at all. Seeing as we don't have a baby-sitter, DH
asked MIL if she could please watch the kids while he came to
the hospital to bring the baby and me home. Well, she was
very put out by having to take a day off - she loves to save up
her vacation time. Instead, she arranged to just take a
longer lunch so that she wouldn't have to use her vacation or
sick days. So, we rushed home from the hospital. She
was calling the cell phone every 5 minutes, as if we were going
to go somewhere with a newborn baby while our 2 kids were waiting
for us at home. We got there, and she took off to go back
to work (after making sure that we were sufficiently aware of
how put out she was). Now, DH, the kids, and I all slept
in the living room on a blow up mattress. Prior to the baby
being born, MIL volunteered to let us use her bed for a couple
of nights, and she would sleep in the living room. We did
not ask this of her. She came up with it, volunteered, pressured
us, and kept reminding us. On the afternoon that we came
home from the hospital, I took a nap in her room with the baby.
It is hard to nap in the living room with 2 kids in there, LOL.
MIL came home, and I was still napping. DH was making dinner,
and MIL started in on him, "DS, I need my clothes for tomorrow
out of my room. Make sure you get my makeup bag out of the
room. How is this going to work? Can you get me all
my stuff. Should I write it down?" Now, this
was 5 pm. Did she think that I was going to sleep until
the next day?! Plus, who said that she couldn't come into
the bedroom to get her stuff? She kept making a stink about
it. DH finally got fed up and told her that she could have
her room back, and that the baby and I would just sleep in the
living room. He woke me up and told me what she was doing.
I came out to the living room with the baby, at which point she
was apologetic, but she didn't offer to still let me use her room,
LOL. Apparently, the original offer was just made to make
herself feel good, but I wasn't really supposed to take her up
on it! It just ticked me off that she couldn't even let
me have a nap the day I came home from the hospital! Oh
well!

Though I don't have many
stories to tell, I just overall feel smothered by my MIL. I feel
that, even though she likes me, she is jealous that her son completely
ignores her. He won't give her any attention, so she hassles me
about everything and pries into our lives.

My MIL decided to send
me 30 emails that she had written (some that others had written
to her) about me. They detailed how she hated me, thought
that I was a worthless person, thought that I controlled her son,
etc. It also said that she and FIL were going to make sure
that we broke up and never got married. There were even emails
to her pastor about how this couldn't possibly be "of God".
Since she doesn't understand me, she believes that I am an awful
person. The emails even contained a celebratory email sent
to everyone when our original wedding date was canceled (they thought
that we ended our relationship). She stated, "She tried
to turn our son against us, and now we won! Praise the Lord."
She then proceeded to call our home a couple of weeks later and
cry to her son about how she doesn't have a relationship with me,
and how she has tried to have one. He responded with, "That
isn't what the emails said."

RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
Good for your DH!
RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
At least DH is on your side where he belongs. Let MIL stew in her
own hate. It doesn't sound like she's gonna "get it"
anytime soon.
RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
Get a restraining order, now. Avoid this woman at all costs. And,
when the kiddies come along, do not let her see them. Good luck.
RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
I'd be thrilled if my MIL did something like that instead of her
passive aggressive bull dust! You have it all in black and white,
and your DH cannot defend her or say, "She didn't mean it like
that."
RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
Good for your DH for standing up to his mother. As for the e-mails
that she sent you, is she nuts? Did she really think that you would
not show them to your DH? Those e-mails were black and white evidence
of the way that she treats you. I would keep her at arms length.
She is a troublemaker.
RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
You have my full sympathy. My advice is this - get married and
move far, far away. Your relationship is worth it.
RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
What a freak your MIL is! Big kudos to your DF and his response
to MIL!!
RESPONSE: DIL of A Psychotic MIL
Since she kindly provided you with all the evidence that you need,
would a harassment charge be in order? I mean, the relationship
couldn't get any worse, and maybe if the cops talk to her, she might
realize just what a be-otch she is.
