I was out shopping the other day when I saw six women beating my MIL up.  As I stood there and watched, her neighbor, who knew me, said, "Well, aren't you going to help?"  I replied, "No.  Six of them is enough".

DH loves his family.  His mother and some members of her family have ruined my love life.  In the past she has bullied me to the point that if she invited us or was coming to visit, I would start stressing days beforehand.  I literally fear her presence, since there would always be a quarrel between DH and me after any meeting with her.  She does not talk to me.  I was not her choice, and so my DH visits alone.  Whenever this happened I would become terrified because a quarrel would always evolve between us sometime after.  He would change drastically and be very nasty with me.  It's been over 12 years and I have suffered tremendously.  I am now childless due to all the problems, and my marriage is just a joke.

BF and I live about 10 miles away from the MIL.  She has never forgiven me for taking him away from her.  He is still at college.  He had a day off because he was ill.  He visited her the next day and she said that she would make him leave me and move back in with her (I heard all this over his mobile phone).  He continues to side with her on everything, and won't admit that it was wrong for them to bring kids up with a drug addict.  She also sends her 14 year old son to buy drugs for her because he knows the dealer.

Here is my story!  I moved in with BF and his mother.  Why not?  I had a lousy paying job and was still in college, while they lived in a 4 bedroom house (just the 2 of them).  He's my boyfriend.  Why not?  No.  The question is:  Why did I?  He is the only child.  His mother's "true self" came out as the days went by.  I got pregnant and had to quit my job.  I am still in school, though.  BF is taking care of me and my son.  BF and I have no problems nor arguments until his mother comes home from work.  This is her house, and I regret when she comes home.  That's sad.  This woman is very loud.  She talks, walks, sleeps, eats, laughs, and looks loud.  She always has an opinion about everything and everyone.  She is always complaining.  She is always telling me what I should and should not do when it comes to my son.  She can't just give advice and let my BF or I decide to accept it.  No.  We have to do what she says or she gets mad.  He agrees with her unless it is something that he doesn't want to do.  BF and I cannot have a one on one conversation because she jumps in and wants to know what we are talking about.  Because he was the only child all of his life, he tells her everything.  And I do mean everything.  His mother is rude, surly, loud, very ill-mannered, etc.  DS was 4 months old and she gave him cola.  The strongest cola known to mankind.  They got upset because I asked her not to do it again.  Everything I do or say is wrong.  If I don't say anything or walk away to avoid an argument, I am still wrong.  BF acts like his mother is "Mother Know It All", since she also raised his cousins (which I hear about on a daily basis).  I graduate in 5 months.  I have no money saved to my name to this date.  I am stressed out.  I have no job.  I have a 10 month old son and an education.  What am I supposed to do?  Please give me advice.  Please!!!!!  Before I pack up my things and my son, drop out of school, and move out of town.
