My MIL is nuts! She lives in total denial
all of the time! She believes that if she does something wrong
it is for a special reason. For example, if MIL lies, it's because
she has "no other choice". MIL drinks because she doesn't
eat (which is bull, because she weighs 500 lbs!), etc. Anyway,
I am really getting sick of MIL's double standard! She has some
of the worst habits a human being can possess! She lies, steals,
cheats, cons, whines, gets violent and drinks. She is dirty, and
she doesn't wash her hands, just to name a few. And everyone around
her has been conditioned to accept this behavior from her. It just
shocks me how everyone can just sit around and watch this behavior
happen, yet no one will even hint to her that it is unacceptable!
I always get a big laugh when someone tries to confront her. She
will come up with every excuse in the book, and when she is out
of excuses, she will either shut the person out or she will tell
them that it was her prerogative!!! She claims to be a professional
or expert everything, or she knows someone who is. It's like a
constant game of "top this"! She always has to top everything
everyone else does, and if they try to top her, she belittles them!
MIL's behavior used to really upset me, and sometimes it still does,
but after years of this, my advice is to just laugh at it all!
When MIL is going off on one of her drunk rants, I just laugh inside
or I go to my room, shove a pillow in my face, and laugh until I
fall asleep. It's really sad because MIL wasn't always such a horrible
person. I think that she just spent too much time with evil, and
probably a lot if it is from her divorce. I wish that MIL could
be that wonderful person she once was, but I can't help but believe
that that may have been a con, too! So, please . . .

A Favor And Just Laugh!

My DH is a handsome man,
but he is not the most handsome man you would see ever. He is very
good looking, yes, but he is bald, and a bit overweight. I mean,
like many of us, he also has some physical imperfections. Yet my
ILs keep praising him and looking at him with admiration, sort of
not believing their own eyes. They keep repeating how proud they
are to have produced such a handsome man, who is also a clever engineer,
etc., etc. His father once, at a big gathering of friends and family,
approached him, touched his cheeks, and then caressed him all over
his back, patting his back and brushing his fingers through is hair
(sick), looking at him all the time in disbelief, as if he was looking
at Apollo, the God of Beauty. He then came to me and said, "Look
at my son. Oh, look at my son. Are you not one lucky woman to
have him?" I looked at him, and was dumb from embarrassment.
The room was full of people and they were all silent, looking at
me and smiling. Well, since I did not answer my FIL the first time,
he kept repeating the question and looking at me. I was, by then,
so embarrassed and uncomfortable. When he did not get a response,
he came closer and touched me on the shoulder, saying, "Are
you not lucky? Say it." I had to just say it to end the conversation
and the embarrassment. The worst thing is that due to cultural
reasons, we come from traditional societies. SO, I could never
cut off relations with the ILs.

You Get?

Worst gift: My ILs have
done it again. We are flying to their house for Christmas, after
putting them off last year. This is because Christmas with MIL/FIL
requires a tin hat and a thick skin. They have free family airline
tickets as part of their ex-pat contract. So, instead of us paying
the $2,000 airfare, they are using their free family allowance as
our Christmas presents. Free flights for Christmas sounds fantastic
to my friends. And it would be, if we were going somewhere pleasant.
But since they both think that I am unworthy of their DS, I have
started practicing relaxation techniques. Well, the tickets arrived
today. They were booked in June, and guess what time we (myself,
DH and DD) are flying back? That's right, 3.30 am, on December
31, with a 3 hour stop over on a flight that normally takes 6 1/2
hours in total. So we'll be pooped by midnight. Nice. I know
that we are very privileged to have free flights, but she could
have booked any dates or times she wanted. Why then? We must be
on Father Christmas' naughty list. MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY
NEW YEAR !!!
Signed - Merry Christmas
And A Happy New Year
