I don't understand how
ILs justify what they do! My FILs loved me until they found out
that I was pregnant. Then, all he!! broke loose. We were 17 and
18 at the time, both in our last year of high school, with a month
left. After finding out, we moved into his parent's house together
(their house is really two houses - his late grandfather used to
live downstairs, and it was left to FDH in his will). One night
we had an argument, and I said something about his younger brothers
being overweight and playing in a filthy room because it hadn't
been cleaned. I don't remember saying this, and don't know why
I would have. But, apparently my FFIL liked to listen in on private
conversations, and then called his crazy wife. I didn't know that
she was crazy at the time - although she made a comment about how
she was going to try to breastfeed MY baby!!!! Can you believe
that?!!!! I can't believe they didn't send her to the nut-house
then and there!!!! He told her god knows what! The next day I
saw her and I tried to have a pleasant conversation, all the while
oblivious to anything. She then BLEW UP and started chasing me
around the whole house!!! She kept yelling about how she didn't
want anything to do with her GC, how she wished that I would lose
it, and that we would make awful parents and so on!!! As if I didn't
have enough to worry about! I honestly thought that these people
could never do anything like that - but, before I knew it, I had
a miscarriage four days later. So, there I was, having to deal
with a miscarriage, getting called a slut and everything else by
his family, and feeling like cr@p in general. They made the worst
point in my life just that much worse, and it only went downhill.
Now, they've come to MY doorstep (of course, we've moved out on
our own) and called me a b!tch! I could not believe it! FDH actually
said that I deserved it because I have a problem with his family
and him seeing them!! It's been 8 months since the miscarriage,
and since then I've had his mom try to make me apologize to her
(she stole my cell phone #) for whatever I did! Then his dad called
me a slut (I lost my virginity to his son!). His grandfather called
me a bitch, his grandmother abused me in emails (another thing stolen),
and so on! FDH just doesn't understand what these people have done
to me!!! They shattered me when I was most vulnerable. And, yes,
I do blame his mother for what happened! All I asked was that he
refrain from spending time with them until they can accept me and
apologize for what they've done! Apparently, this is all a little
too much for FDH to agree to! I feel so betrayed when he sees them,
and I've tried for 8 months to get over it. Nothing seems to be
working! I think that an apology from them and a little understanding
from FDH would be great - because, as of right now - I'm wondering
why in the world I moved around the world to be with him when my
life is going to be like this, when I could be around my family,
who loves and cares about me unconditionally! Am I just a fool
and should get over it, or do I have some ground to stand on? Any
advice would be great! PS. I understand that some people could
misinterpret what I meant about the thing that I said had started
all of this. The room that the little brothers were playing in
had 3 day old pizza crusts in it, along with spilt pop and potato
chips (a boys' playroom - I understand it can get messy, but pregnant
or not, I will always think that it is wrong!). About them being
overweight, I really don't see why I would say that - but it is
a fact that they are severely overweight little boys who need to
have more playtime outside. I really don't see why his dad was
listening in the first place. Don't you think that they would cut
me a little slack for hormones?!!? And why in the world would he
tell FDH's mother this, knowing full well how nuts she is!?! Sorry
about the length - there's just so much to the whole story!

I feel the pain of the
woman whose MIL is a major drama queen. Mine is depressed and pathetic,
and gives loud heaving sighs every time I walk past so that I can
ask her what is wrong. When she drinks, she wants all my attention.
When she is all too sober, she takes out everything that she would
like to say to me on my DF, her son. I fantasize about screaming
all this and more at her and making my grand exit back to my home
state, 8 hours away, to my own sane mother. It was supposed to
be temporary, but it is going on an agonizing 7 months. We live
in a very bright yellow room that is painted with bunnies (by my
MIL) all around, mocking me. There is no end to this purgatory.

I am beyond irritated
because of my MIL. Not only has she previously tried to take every
precious moment with my children from me by having to be the "first"
one to do or watch them do whatever it might be, but now, since
she did not like the plans that DH and I made for our son's first
birthday (just the four of us), she proceeded to have her own birthday
party for him at her house, and invite only DH's side of the family.
This was done after we had already planned a big bash for everyone
later in the month! First, she lied to us about it not being a
birthday party, just some out of town relatives coming to visit.
Then, she told my one year old in front of all the guests, "Well,
isn't this a better birthday party that I'm having for you?"
The nerve of this woman insulting DH and my special family party
because it was not what SHE wanted! A couple of weeks ago, after
DH and I had already decided on the particulars, SHE told me that
she would be having cake and ice cream at her house on his actual
birthday. I blew a fit about it, and told her that it was not her
decision to make. So, to spite us and our decision, she went behind
our backs and did this. I really hope that this finally opens DH's
eyes to her conniving and controlling ways. He was upset, too,
but I don't think he's man enough to tell her that she does not
run our lives like she thinks she does. He always takes her side,
so I guess I'll have to just wait and see. BTW, I am also expected
to invite everyone that was there to the party I am having in a
couple of weeks. So, now it appears that my son will be having
three "first birthdays".
