DH was only brought up
by his parents for the first 5 or so years of his life. He
was raised the rest of the time in foster care. He came back
to meet up with his real parents when he was about 19, and met me
when he was 22. The problem that I have with MIL is that she
can be very sweet, but also very bossy. She thinks that everything
should go her way. She even went as far as trying to commit
suicide when all we did was ask her to stop coming by so often so
that I could get things done around the house with her not being
underfoot so often. Well, here is the thing that I have a
problem with now. Knowing my DH's past with foster care and
knowing that I had problems with keeping my first 3 kids after escaping
an abusive ex-BF (my oldest are adopted out for their safety, since
the ex still tries and stalks me), we are picky about who takes
our children (the ones that we've had together - one DD and one
DS) out anyplace without us being right there. We even have
had background checks done up, some of them for our own peace of
mind. From what we had found out, MIL did something very bad
to DH when he was little, and FIL was the one who took the blame
for it and left her to go on her merry way. FIL is still weary
about being around kids, but our kids love to play games with him
and joke around. However, they don't always like it when MIL
is here. The kids are now 2 and 3, and MIL has begun asking
if she can take the kids overnight at her house. We told her
no on that because she hasn't done anything at all to baby-proof
it to make it safe for our hyper kids. Plus, with FIL's unfortunate
background we don't want to leave them with her because it might
make things look bad on our part, and on the part of FIL.
He understands and respects our decision, but she doesn't seem to
get the idea. So now she thinks that as long as she has them
at our house, it would be okay for her to baby-sit. We don't
want her in our house, either. DH uses our computer for schoolwork
and she has a habit of doing things and ruining computers.
Plus, if she were to get nosy enough, she would find that we have
the internet and be bugging us here, as well as on the phone, and
we would never get any peace and quiet from her. She is jealous,
I think, of the one aunt whom I let have the kids. We had
tried telling her in so many ways that she will never get the kids
because we just don't trust her. We know the truth, plus,
she has mental problems and needs to take anger management classes.
They fought around our children once and made the kids cry from
the outburst that she had started. Our FIL knows that he can't
be around the kids alone, and accepts that just fine. But,
she refuses to see it that way. I have no clue as to how to
get it through to her that she will never get the kids, when we
told her, plain as day, time and time again, that we just can't
trust her.

Help me. MIL is
controlling my wife. Every decision that is made comes from
her. Every vacation plan has to include my MIL. My children
are expected to go to the town where MIL lives, and where my wife
grew up. My opinion doesn't mean anything. How can I
get my wife to believe in me and want to start a family with me,
instead of me being the outcast, and anything that comes out of
her family being taken as the word of God. Please help.

I think that this is
an incredible web site, and my heart goes out to these DILs.
I suffered for two years dating what might have been the love of
my life and his crazy, controlling mother. At first I thought
their close relationship was cute, and even admired how close they
were. But, as time went on, things with my ex-BF's mother
went from bad to worse. While the ex and I were falling in
love, his mother was growing green with envy that another girl entered
into her son's life. Breaking up with him was one of the hardest
things that I've ever had to do. I just kept telling myself
that he is a unit with his mother, and that there is no such thing
as "just him". The worst part is that I didn't even
get to break up with him. I BROKE UP WITH HIS MOTHER!
I finally stood up to her and told her that I can't change, and
her eyes nearly popped out of her head when I said that. And,
now we are both starting graduate school and I can't even contact
him to wish him luck. He hasn't made any contact with me since
I broke up with his mom, either. I know that she brainwashed
him into hating me and is making up all kinds of stuff about me
so that he will stop loving me. My heart goes out to anyone
who suffers with a monster-in-law. It's so horrible.
And the worst part is that I bet my ex despises me now because of
her poison and propaganda. I'm just very lucky that she showed
her true colors while we were dating. Good luck and g-d bless!
