My BIL passed away 3 years ago.  He had many problems with drinking, depression, money and family.  I didn't like him at all.  But my DH loved him so much and he lent and invested so much money in his business.  It filed bankruptcy later.  You never know how much I wished that he wasn't my DH's brother.  I'm still very disappointed in him and his wife for not paying us back all the money.  His wife is perpetually depressed because even after his death, his wife has a problem with the IRS.  She frustrates me that she doesn't want to talk to us.  Now her kids thinks that I'm an evil aunt.  Her family is so ungrateful and insincere.  My BIL, especially, didn't get along with his mother (my MIL).  He was molested when he was a child and he blamed his mother for it.  My MIL always acts like nothing happened.  She needs therapy.  She is so weak and I just can't stand her.  My ILs are so dysfunctional.

When my ex-DH told his DM that he wanted to introduce me to her, she looked at him and said, "Why?"  Fast forward to a couple of weeks later.  When I met her and FIL, she smiled, called me by his first wife's name, and asked if I would like tea or something.  I said, "No thank you, and most people call me [my real name].  To her credit she appeared to be embarrassed by her slip, or so I thought a the time.  It was an accurate indicator of the rest of our relationship.

Worst gift:  Last year my MIL and FIL gave my DH a brightly colored baby towel.  He was 40 years old.  This year they chose a thrift gospel CD.  He never liked gospel.  They asked us several times how much we listened to this music.  But, they never even mentioned a particularly beautiful CD that they were given, one of the many costly Christmas presents we bought for them.  We also got a potpourri bag for Christmas, and I got a scented candle on my birthday.  We got a set of towels, that don't wipe up water, as our wedding present.  All of their presents are pretty useless and very cheap.  It is hard to count how much money we spend on their presents, flowers, candies.  They always get expensive and thoughtful presents from us.  But, our patience is over now.  We will respond in the same way.
