I met and married my ex-DH in high school. At that time I moved
out of my parent's home and moved in with his family, thinking that
they were a "relatively normal" family. They certainly
appeared that way until just weeks after I made the move. I was
attending school and my ex-DH was working. We were trying to save
up to move into our own place, but I honestly believe that my ex-DH
wanted to stay there with his parents, as they weren't charging
us rent and we came and went as we pleased. But, it came with a
catch: My ex-MIL and FIL would frequently go through all of our
possessions in our bedroom and invade our privacy. I'd finally
had enough of it, and scraped together whatever money we had and
got our own apartment. His parents would stop by at all hours of
the day. They would pound on our door and yell that they saw our
vehicle outside and that we were home, and that we'd better answer
the door. Once we let them in, they would head straight towards
the kitchen, look in the fridge and cabinets, and make rude comments
about how we didn't have enough food or that our place wasn't looking
good enough. They would always give us money here and there, but
they would make a big deal out of it. They would talk about how
if we didn't have them to give us gas money during hard times, we
would be nowhere. My ex-FIL would always boast about how much money
he made and how good his credit was, yet my ex-MIL was making plans
to divorce him because they were always fighting. I later learned
that she had filed a Domestic Violence order against him, but apparently
it was later dropped. She needed him to maintain her appearance:
Perfect house, brand new cars to drive, new clothes, yearly vacations,
etc., and he was more than happy to remind her that without him,
she wouldn't have any of this. This should have been my first warning
about what was to come. But I was in high school and didn't know
any better, and dumbly assumed that none of this would affect me.
The fights with them invading our privacy and my ex-MIL always calling
and checking up on us got worse and worse. We decided to keep them
out of our lives and then we got engaged. They were all invited
to our wedding, which was small, and my ex-FIL had the nerve to
assume that I was only marrying his son because I was pregnant.
He said that I could have an abortion, or that we didn't need to
make the same mistake that he did a long time ago by marrying my
ex-MIL when he got her pregnant. Well, I was definitely NOT pregnant
before I married my ex-DH, and didn't become pregnant until almost
a year after we were married. We had ended up moving out-of-state
just to get away from them and their craziness, and to move on with
our lives. We moved and were happy for a few months, until I discovered
that I was . . .

I got married weeks ago.
My MIL came to 1 of my 6 bridal showers. She did not help with
the wedding. On the wedding day she did not speak to me or give
me any compliments. She had not spoken of the wedding until today.
Then she said to me, "You looked so nervous at the wedding
that I thought you were going to hurl. Everyone I've talked to
said that they were sitting there waiting on you to throw up, too."
I said, "Thanks, you looked nice too," and walked off.

Worst gift: For our
first Christmas together we went out of our way to get my FIL great
presents. I'm a huge gift giver. We spent a lot of time
and money finding the right gifts for everyone. As we were
going to be with my family on Christmas Day, we sent their gift
early so that they would be sure to get them. We waited for
our gift to come in the mail. First they put down the wrong
address, and they had to mail it again. Then the parcel got
lost for a week and we didn't get it till after the holidays.
My dear honey was so excited when they finally came. The gifts
were coffee (we both hate coffee) crackers, re-gifted candles, and
chocolate(my DF doesn't like chocolate). His sister got a
digital camera. His brother got new high end ski's, as well
as play station games and cds. We got old food and candles. I
still said a big thank you.
