My MIL has despised me since I came into her son's life.  The last time that I went with him to visit her and her common law husband, she told me that I looked like a junkie (I guess it takes one to know one), and that I was probably stealing money from her and her son, and putting it in my (I don't need to say where).  She even went so far as to call me the infamous "C" word, as well as a golddigger (he works as a service clerk at a hardware store).  I've tried everything to please this hag.  Needless to say . . .

My dear MIL is the worst person in my life.  She doesn't realize that she is the one who destroys my married life.  To make things worse, DH always stands on her side.  Ironically, his relationship with his mom is not a close one.  But he told me, out of the blue, just after we got married, that if anything ever happen between his mother and me, he would not be on my side.  I was so shocked, as I had never thought of this.  My relationship with my ILs was fine.  So, hearing the statement like that from him made me so furious.  Everything she says will just make me look so bad in my DH's eyes.  She calls my DH in the office, at a busy hour, and tells him that she misses her GD (we have one GD).  DH will tell her to call home.  But guess what she says?  " I don't wanna talk to your wife, because she is very sensitive.  Everything I said will make her think negatively!"  Of course the war had just begun.  The problem is that my DH will not discuss it with me, and keeps it to himself.  He revealed it the day we saw a marriage counselor.  There is nothing positive that comes out of his mouth.  He wants me to be an "above normal" person.  I should be "super nice" to his family, particularly his mother.  I have been trying so hard to keep this family together, but nothing changes.  I've changed myself to be a better person, but he and his family do not see it.  So, I've given him the option of whether he wants this family or his mother.  If he wants this family (himself, our DD and me), he is more than welcome to stay.  If his mother is above everything, and having me just destroys his life, then I will let him go.  What do you think?  What should I do?  Thank you.

Worst gift:  I have been married for 8 years, and have been blessed with the MIL from he!!. .Every year for Xmas I get soap!  That's right, soap.  What a b!tch.  This year I faked the flu just so that I could miss out on her Thanksgiving mush, and be free for a day!!!!  Oh, what a feeling.  I wanna dance!  This miserable MIL treats my children like they don't even exist.  One day into our marriage she told me that my DH would be back living with her by the end of the week!  The worst part of it all is that my DH thinks she can do no wrong.  I found out last week that she took his inheritance from him.  Oh, what do I do with this info?  This could cause a divorce for sure!  My DH will somehow find a way to forgive her, and I will be to blame.  Any suggestions?
