My MIL has hated me from
the moment that I "took" her son, although she has 6 others.
Both of her DDs do nothing but talk about everybody and they play
sides all the time. One day they are your friend, the next they
are talking about you behind your back to their other SILs. It's
a huge family feud, and I am always the one to blame. SIL and I
had our first babies at 2 weeks apart, and my MIL clearly favors
the other child, putting my child's pictures under her bed and my
nieces in a frame to show the world. BIL was just about to get
married and she gave him over $7000 in gifts and money. He spent
it on strippers, drugs, and lap dances. My second child was born
a week earlier, and she didn't even get her a card. She hasn't
seen her GC in 4 months, and she lives down the road. But she still
manages to make the trip to see all of her other GCs. When DH confronted
her about this, she told him that he was starting stuff and she
was going to get him fired from his job. She won't even be attending
my DD's birthday party, and won't let her 15 year old son go, either.
She could not care less about me or my children, so we are moving
far, far away. Thank god. That's just the half of it.

MIL told my children
that she felt sorry for them having me for a mother. She said that
they did not have to listen to me or what I told them to do. She
called them evil. My 8 year old was leaving me letters saying that
she hated herself. She was sick to her stomach. My 14 year old
was not eating, had back pain, and said that she wanted to die.
My 16 year old was crying and asking why her grandmother hated her
and her sisters. DH said, "If what you say is true, I will
talk to her." MIL lived with us for over 2 years. The damage
to my marriage and family is extensive. What I have related to
you all is just the tip of the iceberg.

DH and I dated for four
years before we were married. During that time period visiting
MIL was never easy. The strained relationship with her continued
after our marriage. Several weeks ago MIL called DH to let him
know that they were planning a get-together on Saturday. She always
calls the night before the event! DH and I usually talk everything
over first before making plans with our respective families. He
told MIL that he'd call her back when we knew what was going on,
and whether we could come. We ultimately decided not to go because
we had other things that we wanted to do, and we also needed to
clean our house. DH called MIL back and mentioned that we had a
lot to do, and that we also were going to clean. This week DH called
to straighten out an "issue" that arose in the family.
Throughout the conversation, MIL proceeded to tell him that our
"excuse" for not coming to the family event a few weeks
ago was lame and that I, his wife, should never, ever make him clean.
MIL proceeded to tell DH that I was into the women's liberation
movement, and that I was just saving 50% of the housework for him
so that I could make it "EVEN". What a nightmare!
Signed - Frustrated!
