I have read many stories
on this site, and most of them sound very familiar to what my MIL
puts me through. I figured that I would add my two cents worth.
DW, who is the youngest of 5 and who just turned 21, has always
been really close to her parents. Her parents are now divorced,
and after meeting her mother I know why!! MIL pretends to be this
go-good religious person, but under all of that she is awful! She
hated me ever since I proposed to DW. She always makes me out to
be the bad guy. She actually broke my car a couple of times so
that I could not go find a job. Then she called me a loser because
I couldn't find a job. Anyway, she started to be nice when the
wedding was coming up, and she said to us that she would like to
do the entire wedding for us, if my parents would do the reception
and the food. My wife and I both agreed, as we were both tight
for cash. MIL said, "Just tell me what you want and I will
have it all ready." So, we told her what we wanted and she
said, "No problem, it is all set." She told us that everything
is all ready and the church is beautiful. There is a ton of food
for everyone, the flowers are all there, everything!! So, we were
happy - until the wedding day when we saw the church!!! NOTHING!!!!!
There was nothing but egg and tuna sandwiches, no decorations in
the church, no music, and she invited lots of people who were not
invited by us to the wedding! Because she said that everything
was taken care of the way that we wanted it, we did not go and check
for ourselves, as we were still planning the minor details for the
reception and just having the pre-wedding jitters. So, she basically
tried to destroy our wedding, but it did not work because we had
a good time anyways, and you could see that this mad MIL was very,
very displeased. Other things that she has done lately include:
inviting herself over to our house when not invited by either of
us, dropping in at late hours, and telling people that we need charity
(which we most certainly DON'T!!!!). She is awful. She cries to
everyone that she has no money so that they give her stuff, and
she thinks that this is just so cool! I hate it and don't want
her to come around me because it gives a bad image. DW just can't
understand this because when her parents divorced, she lived with
MIL for four years!!! I told MIL to stay out of our lives, and
everything else imaginable, but this woman cannot take a hint!!!
Every time MIL and DW get together we have a fight! And I tell
DW that if MIL keeps coming over, then we are probably going to
end up like her parents - DIVORCED! I don't want that because I
love DW with all of my heart. Someone HELP!!!! I GOT THE MIL FROM
HE!!.

DH and I have been trying
to have children since the day we were married, six years ago.
The doctors can't find anything wrong with us. MIL has verbally
abused me on every occasion over this issue. The last straw was
2 years ago when she threatened to take a stick to me for not "behaving
as a proper wife". In public, she has scolded me, saying that
my husband will leave me and marry another if I do not give the
family an heir. I'm so hurt by this. I no longer wish to speak
to her. She has pretended those terrible incidences where she yelled
at us in public didn't happen, and has complained to other relatives
about my cold shouldering her. As a result, BIL and SIL are harassing
me and badmouthing both DH and me about being uncaring. I have
kept silent, but there is a volcano boiling inside me. I don't
know how much longer I can hold my tongue.

Worst gift: After being
married for about 5 years, I told DH that I didn't enjoy or feel
part of his family, especially during the holidays. He was obviously
unaware or in "la la land", and never realized that during
those five years they have never presented me with a gift or even
a card. The next day was Xmas, and sure enough they passed out
a gift to DH and my DD, and walked past me. DH had "words
with them" and the next day they gave me a package of lotion,
which was labeled to indicate that it was a "de-stresser".
Boy, aren't they thoughtful!!!!
