My mother has repeatedly
reminded me how much she hates my DH. It's not just her, but the
whole family, too. This past holiday DH's folks flew in from out
of town. They are very much aware that my mother hates their son.
In fact, both mothers did not have decent words to say to each other
on New Years because we were with his parents and not mine. My
mother says that I have disrespected her for the second time. She
also reminds me that my DD will do the same to me. I had to suck
it up again and apologize for not spending the holidays with my
folks. Now there is no contact between my DH and my family. I'm
just sick about it. Now my sister is getting married. I'm a bridesmaid,
and my child is the flower girl. I have been told not to bring
my DH. Nice family.

The first time that I
met my DH's SMIL she said to me, as I bent over and was tying my
shoe, "Is everyone in your family heavy, or is it only you
with the weight problem?" I couldn't believe my ears and said,
"What did you say?" To that she asked, "Is everyone
in your family overweight or is it only you?" During the next
4 days of our visit she continued to insult me about my weight in
passive/aggressive attacks. She made cookies and took them to the
men downstairs, who were watching football. But as she brought
me a bowl of celery and carrots she said, "I brought you a
healthy snack." I got up and left her sitting area and went
downstairs and had cookies with the men. Her constant deluge of
passive insults will eventually build up and I'm afraid of throwing
her out of my house, head first!

When I was about 7 (I
can't remember very well) my mom met a guy at work. He was okay
in the beginning, so they got married. Years later, my mom told
me that she was drunk at the wedding, not just the reception, so
right from the get go it was sure not to be a good marriage (sorry
mom, it's true). When my oldest sister was about 14 (I would have
been 11), she started being a rowdy teen, always sneaking out.
My step-dad turned different then. Throughout the years he'd been
okay, but then he just turned mean, almost overnight. I finally
turned 18 and was out the door. I went to live with my BF. Long
story shortened, I found out that I was pregnant 2 years ago. Quite
honestly, my mom acted like she was happy, which meant the world
to me. I liked knowing that my mom wasn't upset and didn't want
to disown me. My step-dad, on the other hand, was not happy. He
would never really come up to me and tell me what he was actually
thinking, which I didn't mind for a while, because I thought that
he was just keeping his mouth shut. One day one of my sisters came
over and told me that my step-dad was telling her that she was never
going to amount to anything, that she wasn't going to finish high
school, and that she'd wind up pregnant like her two older sisters.
This didn't hurt me, but it sure did do the trick. During my entire
pregnancy I felt like I was trying to build back a relationship
with him, so, naturally, I was p!ssed. The only reason that I tried
to do that was because my mom told me that I should, so I tried.
Almost two years later she has decided to divorce him. LMBO. This
is another take on a story that my mom has told on this site. My
mom is my best friend and I am so glad that she has found an alternate
source for advice and support, so thank you all for helping my mom,
because my three sisters and I didn't really know where she was
coming from and all we could do was say that we could kick our step-dad
in the butt, if she wanted us to.
