My MIL was evil even
before she was a MIL. She was a terrible wife, mother, daughter
and sister to her whole family. None of them will speak to her
or allow her to live with them. Her own brother told me yesterday
to not be bothered with her. He and his wife have washed their
hands of her. When my FIL became sick, she refused to even help
wash him up, and fired the nurses that I arranged to help him.
When he passed, I found the money to pay for the funeral expenses,
made all of the arrangements, even helped her dress, braid her hair
the day of the wake, and almost had to kick the door in (she was
doped up on valium) just to make sure that she was OK. Nobody had
even bothered to check, or to make sure that she got there or was
OK. Only me. I had to find a way to pay for the funeral because
she didn't have the money. She's lost 2 homes and has absolutely
no savings due to gambling and a lot of frivolous spending. Yet,
my children get dollar store presents at Christmas, and I never
get a thing. She gave my DH a scale for a gift, and constantly
tells him that he's too fat and that he should be eating her food,
not mine. He was fat when I met him!!!!!! But, back to the original
rant: But, I took care of it all, and then visited her day after
day with my children, bringing food, making sure bills were paid,
etc. Even though she has always been downright evil to me, because
I love my husband, I am good to her. Now that she is all alone,
she wants a house of her own. She can't afford it on her SS income,
but expected us to cosign a loan for a house for her. We told her
no, because it is too expensive for her and if she defaults on the
loan, which she has a track record of doing, we'll lose our house.
She can't afford the mortgage, let alone taxes, insurance, etc.
She is too old for a 30 year mortgage at her age anyway! So, I
found her a beautiful apartment that was in a seniors only building.
It was subsidized (she could afford it) and in a great location
(near a market and tourist attractions, close to the best hospitals
and doctors, etc.). I spent many hours pleading her case, filling
applications and making phone calls, all to help get this for her.
She turned her nose up at it because it was not in the location
that she wanted! This isn't the worst. My dad just passed away.
Three days before he passed away, I spent the day in the hospital
with him. I was a wreck. DH said that he told his mom about the
situation and she said to come over, and that she'd make dinner
for us. Half an hour after we arrived a mortgage broker came over
with papers for us to sign! He was under the impression that we
had agreed to cosigning for her! She thought that she'd take advantage
of my grief and get me to sign while I was emotionally bankrupt!
When I again said, "No way," and explained the reasons
why, and said that I could not believe that she pulled what she
pulled on that day of all days, she said, and I quote, "So
what? People die every day." Here's a funny: She called
a few days after he passed to offer condolences. She didn't call
while I was home, all alone, during the day. She called when she
knew that my DH would be home to hear her "efforts".
Then she called the next day and told him that I gave her the wrong
phone number for my mother (what a !@#$% &-trouble maker!).
I've not spoken to that woman since she made the "So what,
people die every day" comment! All she wanted to do was offer
condolences! What a lying sack of ____! Not once, in our 9 years,
has she ever asked for my mother's phone number, and even though
my DH gave her the number, she never even called my mother!!! BTW,
my mother sent her flowers and food. She even contributed to the
cost of FIL's funeral, and she attended my FIL's services to support
her through it! This MIL has done other really terrible things.
She caused a big fight between DH and me on our wedding day. She
was awful to me on the occasions of my children's births. Once,
when she was alone with my son (then only 3 years old), she told
him that I dumped him there and was never coming back, and that
she'd be his mommy now. When my DD (from a previous relationship)
was 5, she told my DH (then DF) and FFIL about something nasty my
FMIL had said to me (tattletaled on her). My MIL picked up my DD's
school picture, that we had given them, and threw it in the trash.
My FIL slapped her in the face for hurting my child that way. God,
I miss him! He was the only one who could remotely keep her in
line. Now she's running amok, ruining every occasion she can (Thanksgiving
was a nightmare) and making bad occasions (my dad's passing) even
worse. My DH can't see half of it. Thank God others, including
her own siblings and dad, have seen her in action and can validate
it. It hurts my DH (we end up fighting, which she loves!) when
I tell him about how evil his mom is. My only comforting thought
is that some day she'll get what's coming to her.

2 Be Justice
