This is my first time here.  I've been up all night obsessing over my MIL, so I decided to see if there was anywhere on line to "talk" about my MIL before I go insane.  She moved in with us 3 years ago.  It seems like a lifetime.  I also inherited my SIL, who is mentally challenged.  Needless to say, there is some stress in our household.  But the best is what was discovered about 2 weeks after they moved in.  This woman, the one who always puts down other people for their morals and actions, never told my DH that his dad wasn't his biological father!  She had an affair with another man while her DH was overseas in the army.  Coincidentally, her DH managed to get an early discharge.  She lied her way around the entire pregnancy, convincing everyone, including her DH, that the baby was his.  Towards the end of the pregnancy she somehow convinced him to move from her hometown to another state, where she had the baby.  She "convinced" (use your imagination) the doctor to tell everyone that the baby was premature so that her DH would continue to believe that it was his.  After a brief time in the other state she moved back to her home town.  While her DH would go to work, she continued to have the affair with my DH's biological father.  This continued for a few years until (we think) that the kids were old enough to recognize what was going on.  DH's dad (not biological) left when he turned 12.  We think that he found out what had happened.  The biological father died a couple of years ago without my DH ever having had the chance to meet him.  She had continued to talk to him up until he died.  Another odd twist - the biological father had an identical twin, who also recently died.  But he refused to meet with my DH.  My DH also has 2 half brothers.  We have deduced, after the time she's been living with us, that she is a pathological liar.  Most of what she has told us about her past is not true.  It is scary.  She made up most of her history.  She is pretty evil - and it is very blatant.  I have a really hard time dealing with it.  The rest of my DH's family no longer invites us to anything because no one can stand the MIL.  She is incredibly insulting and abrasive, and everyone is scared of her.  It's pretty amazing.

FIL really is a pain in the @ss.  If he gets any information from DH and me, which is rare, he immediately calls his DM (GMIL).  I have told DH not to tell him anything multiple times.  Tonight we stopped by the GPIL's house on the way home from going out to eat.  This is an even rarer occurrence.  As they never come to our house (in the same town), why should we go to theirs?  DH was feeling guilty, so I agreed to stop.  First, they told us, "We hear that you finally got the new car in the garage."  What?  Why would FIL report that to them?  Dumb.  Then GMIL, who loves money, said to me, "AHA, so that is where all your money goes."  I was telling her a story about how when I went to the pet store to get the cat a cat house, I ended up just getting a plastic box and cutting a hole in it.  She didn't give me a chance to get to the plastic box part.  They are so obsessed with money that it is dumb.  We heard all about how her other GD and DH saved $50,000 in a few months because they have such great jobs.  Nothing we ever do is good enough.  I graduated from college before the GD, and they didn't sent me a card saying congratulations.  They felt that I wasted my money because I got a student loan.  Prior to that, I used to send them cards for their birthdays, Mother's Day and Father's Day.  They couldn't send me congratulations on my special day, so now they aren't important to me anymore.  I haven't been to their house in over a year, and . . .

FIL likes to make mention that I came from a poor family.  I am not sure what his standards are, because my DF was career military and my DM was a housewife.  FIL is retired now and is waiting for his parents to die so that he can get their money.  Whenever he is mad at DH because DH won't do his bidding, he tells him that he is going to leave all his money to the church.  DH tells him to do it, and that we don't care.  I went to school at night to start another career.  FIL and MIL were not proud.  FIL said, "It is sad how she acts like she doesn't care about (GPIL'S) money, and just goes to school to make more money.  So I am not supposed to make a better life for DH and myself?  He has called me a gold digger, over and over, even though I asked him to stop, saying that it hurts my feelings.  I have my career.  I don't need the family money.
