The mother of my BF of 4 years (we are both 30 years old) has put down just about everything about my life including my job, my relationship with her son, and the fact that by owning my own business, I may not be giving her son what he needs.  This post is not really a story, but just an expression of my sadness and anger at this time.  This woman makes me feel so lousy about myself and my life, even though I am a hard worker, funny, caring, attractive and I love her son so very much.  His family lives in a very wealthy area of the northeast, and every one of their friends has gone to an Ivy League school or is a trust fund baby, and they are all millionaires.  My family, although very well educated, and both my mother and father make a good living, are not filthy rich, and they live in a small town on the west coast.  I just cannot take the hurtful comments and the constant comparisons any longer!  My BF is a "momma's boy" to the extreme, and does not get involved at all, even when his mother is being so hurtful to me right in front of him, and that hurts too much.  Because I love my BF, I have always bitten my tongue with her and apologized for whatever was upsetting her, or just tried to make her happy by doing anything that she asked of me.  But, nothing is ever good enough.  Is this going to continue for the rest of my life?  Should I think about ending my relationship on account of this hurt, due to put downs and being left out of every family function?

My husband is a huge mama's boy, and he always chooses his family over me.  We live 14 hours from them.  The worst part of it is that my DH has a 6 1/2 year old sister who, every time we go visit them or they come to our house, insists on sleeping with us!  This drives me crazy, because I feel that she has no business being in our bed!  DH doesn't think there's a problem with it.  But, I think that even if he doesn't agree, he should take my feelings into consideration.  MIL started putting her in bed with my DH when they visited after he left for the military.  Every time we'd go visit him while he was in training or when he came home, she put his little sister in bed with him.  One time after we were married we were visiting them and stayed at their house for the night.  His mother got my DH out of bed with me the next morning to go put him in bed with his little sister, because she wanted him to be the first thing his little sister saw when she woke up!  This infuriated me!  I am his wife, and he is to sleep with me, not his sister.  The last time they visited he didn't stop her from getting in bed with us.  So, I went and slept on the couch, and he didn't bother to come get me!  He chose his little sister over me, and it really made me mad.  They are coming to visit again, and I know that this is going to happen again.  How should I put an end to this?

Worst gift:  I received a book from my MIL titled, "How to Clean Everything".  This, mind you, coming from someone who has always had a maid.
