MIL has 3 sons. The
youngest is my DH. Her oldest got mad at her and cut off all contact
with her. DH and the middle brother sided with MIL. A few years
passed, and MIL finally convinced the oldest son that they should
be in contact. MIL was very ill, and needed a liver transplant.
I guess the guilt was too much for her oldest son to bear. Now,
MIL has turned on the middle son and his wife. DH is finally seeing
the light. He is understanding how mean and passive aggressive
she is. I'm the favored DIL, and I hate it. It makes my relationship
with my SILs so hard. SILs have never said a negative word about
my MIL. They love their DHs and children, and yet MIL has chosen
to try to destroy them. I know that one day soon she will turn
on me, but at least my DH sees through her.

I am not married, and
this is not about an IL. It is about my GM (father's side). Ever
since my father was born she has absolutely worshipped the ground
he walks upon. To this day she jokes about how he used to throw
his sisters down the stairs when they were kids, and the sisters
would get into trouble for it. Her DS can do no wrong! This has
led to my father being an undeveloped, violent, immature total spoiled
brat. He will throw you around the room, literally, if he doesn't
get his way. I know this from my own childhood. Anyway, as for
my mother, my GM basically ignores her beyond the, "So, how's
work?" stage. In fact, she has had my mother's name wrong
for the past 19 years! To this day, I don't think she even cares
if she gets my mom's name right anymore. Since she absolutely adores
my father, she wants to spend all her time she can with him, and
my dad thinks that she's the only person who has treated him "the
way he should be treated". Thus, whenever she wants something,
or is just plain bored, she calls up my dad and has him come over
and take care of whatever she needs, or she has him take her out
to eat. She even lets us know how pissed she gets if we don't take
her on vacation with us! And, of course, if the rest of the family
(me, mom, brother) aren't exactly keen on the idea of dragging her
with us everywhere we go, dad accuses us of being selfish, evil,
and cheap. He always sides with her. She is a huge burden when
we take her places with us because she always runs up a huge bill
and makes us pay for all of it. We're supposed to buy her all kinds
of expensive souvenirs (like she doesn't have enough cr@p sitting
around already), and my father always does so. We are going to
a large family theme park next year, and I am NOT looking forward
to the argument bound to ensue between me, mom, and brother on one
side, and GM and dad on the other. But, that's not the worst.
Apparently, she now thinks that she is going to MOVE IN WITH US!!!
I'm especially worried about this since I am still in school, and
whenever GM wants to come over for Christmas (she insists on spending
the holiday week with us at our home every year now), guess whose
room she gets? I'll give you a hint: The one who least gets along
with dad. That's right, MINE. I don't even have a say in it.
My dad just announces that my GM is sleeping in my room, without
even consulting me. If I protest, he verbally beats me up about
being "selfish", "petty", and "mean-spirited".
Well, why doesn't your dearest mother sleep in YOUR bed, dad?!
Since my dad thinks that she's so much the cat's meow, I'm willing
to bet that he'll campaign for me to be forced out of my room and
onto the couch (or even onto the street) so that his sweet, dear
mother can have my room.
Signed - Get Out, GM!

I am writing this from
Australia. I married a wonderful man, and am still married to him
26 years later. I have four children, all boys. When I married
into the family, I slowly realized that the MIL was a bit strange.
But, I just accepted her, as she was my DH's mother. I never argued
with her, or wanted to cause any problems. BIG MISTAKE. FIL was
a lovely man, whom I loved very much. He passed away about 8 years
ago. I have never felt close to MIL, but I have always been good
to her. DH loved his father, but argued with his mother because
she always talked about people and said things that were very wrong,
and put them in the wrong light. Things have happened over the
years, but as we had four children and our own business, we just
got on with life. I had the most wonderful family, and we spent
a lot of time with them. So, MIL didn't cause too much trouble,
or so we thought. In the last few years, we have come to realize
that she is the most manipulative, evil, narcissistic person. And,
it is not only MIL, but my DH's elder brother is the same. There
is no difference between them, and we didn't know. The pain that
those two people have caused us is indescribable. We always knew
that she was a would-be-if-she-could-be, but the lies and things
she would say and do are unbelievable. Her son is just as evil,
and that has come out in the last four years, also. We have been
dragged to court on false allegations, had police come to our home
with applications for AVO's, had letters sent to relatives, and
people whom we know, with just complete garbage and lies. I sometimes
think, "How are we surviving this?" But, with my sister
and a lot of other good people supporting us, we are getting through
it. Most importantly, DH and I talk and research a lot. We are
due to go to court again in about a week, and after that, MIL will
be out of our lives for good. BIL is out of our lives now, but
he keeps attacking us. We are going to try to have something done
about him continually attacking us. The courts and authorities
have said that we could take him for defamation. But, as he doesn't
own anything (he is the biggest loser), we will win the case and
he could just continue, as he hasn't got anything to lose and we
would be spending money for nothing. I just wish that there was
a law to stop these kinds of people. BTW, not only has he attacked
DH and me, but anyone who has upset him or gone against him has
been attacked, also, including my sister, my eldest son, and a cousin
of my DH. The MIL acts as though she is horrified. But, we now
realize that she is just the same, but she goes about it a little
differently. We think back on different circumstances that have
occurred during our life, and everything makes so much sense now.
We have spoken to DH's ex wife, whom we were told didn't want anything
to do with us, and she was the one who opened our eyes completely.
It was as if the window was cleaned completely and we could see
everything. I didn't know that these people existed, especially
in our family. But, I know that these evil individuals attack anyone,
regardless. I would love to write so much more on what they have
done over the years, but I would be here for hours and hours. Maybe
next time I will give you a detailed accounting of things that they
have done to us and how they have manipulated us over the years.

Attack Anyone, Regardless
