I was looking for some
pictures and came upon a photo album that my MIL compiled for my
DH a few years back. I honestly don't remember if we were married
at the time. I think that we were engaged. Anyway, it's a lovely
photo album - of my DH and all his ex-GFs! I guess I should feel
honored though, there are 2 of me in it! Seriously, no cute baby
pictures or family pictures, just photos of him kissing and hugging
girls!

(1) My ex-MIL followed
us to our apartment after our wedding (in other words, our wedding
night!) and stayed until 2:00 AM (the wedding and reception were
over by 9:00). With her, she brought along her parents, my FIL,
and my two SILs. They only left then because I fell asleep on the
couch. During the "visit", she and other families discussed
how our property would be divided up if we divorced. (2) My ex-MIL
announced to the entire family that I was an "unfit mother"
the day that I brought my son home from the hospital. She said
this because I was taking a nap while the baby slept, having just
given birth the day before. Naturally, she had to keep waking the
baby up to justify the fact that I was "lazy" and not
taking care of him. (3) My ex-DH once slapped me in their house,
and I reacted badly. MIL physically prevented FIL from entering
the room so that he could not "interfere" in our argument,
and told ex-DH to "take me home if he was going to do that".
She did not say, "Don't do it," but she said, "Do
it somewhere else." Then she offered us the ride home. (4)
MIL told me that ex-DH would not drink to excess, write bad checks,
be unemployed (by choice), trash all our vehicles (including taking
our street vehicles to the drag strip and racing them), or exhibit
other various bad habits if I would "just be a good wife".
(5) When I finally left DH, MIL was convinced that I had chosen
to leave on a particular day because it was her birthday. I had
no idea that was the same day, she'd never told me her birthday.
They didn't celebrate it.

My MIL is a smoker (heavy
smoker). This has always been an issue with me because I get headaches
when exposed to cigarettes. DH and I have been married for 6 six
years, and together for 11. Needless to say, MIL has always hated
me. In June of 2005 I became pregnant. I immediately let her know
that my child would not be around smokers for the obvious reasons.
She stopped for two weeks and then started again. My son was born
early this year, and he is so precious. MIL has not once respected
my wishes. Every time I see her, she grabs the baby and goes off
somewhere with him, like she is showing ownership. Weird. One
day, she was at my house and went outside to smoke. When she came
back in, she wanted to hold the baby. I'd had enough at this point
and said, "Have you washed your hands after smoking?"
She replied, "NO!" I told her that she could not hold
the baby, and she ran off hysterically crying into her sons arms.
Then she left, only to call in a few moments to say that she would
never some back to my house again. I tried to call her and talk
to her about it so that we could resolve the problem, but she would
never respond to my messages. One day, I called her and she told
me that keeping my son away from cigarette smoke was protecting
him from "life". I am screwing him up, and as long as
I feel like this, she will not have anything to do with us (but,
she calls her son's cell all the time). DH was furious, but never
will confront her because he says that she never listens and he
wants to avoid conflict. I want him to cut off all ties to her
until she respects the way that we want to raise our son.
Signed - I'd Had Enough
