Frequent
Fry Her TM.
- sickandtired 3 of 4 /Posted: 3-JAN-07
My MIL is psychotic. She and my FIL got divorced
25 years ago. DH and I have been married for 3.5 years. FIL was
pretty much not involved in DH's life. They really don't even know
each other. My DH, until lately, has been very bitter toward his
father, and very hurt. I even saw him (this is a hard-nosed, no-nonsense
veteran of two wars and a police officer we're talking about here)
cry when he talked about his father. "Why doesn't my dad give
a sh!t about me? He didn't even call me when I got home from the
war!" It made me cry. Whenever DH would be upset about things
that happened in his combat experiences, MIL would say, "You
have to overcome this and be the father that you never had. Your
father didn't care and didn't want a relationship with you. I raised
you by myself (she was actually only unmarried about 2 years), and
I will hate your father until the day I die. He abandoned you kids",
etc. I wanted to slap her then and say, "What does this have
to do with Iraq or Kosovo, and why don't you stop kicking him while
he's down?!?!?!?" Anyway, in a recent blowup she said to him,
"Your wife would love your dad more than she likes me."
I told her that she was a vindictive, manipulative b!tch, and how
sick she must be to use 25 years of her son's personal anguish to
drive a wedge between the two of us!!!!!!

I've been married for
7 years and have always gotten along great with my ILs. My MIL
likes to pull guilt trips, but I've always been able to handle them.
She's very opinionated and can be overbearing, but I'm pretty easygoing
and ignore her. My own mom has recently been placed in a nursing
home for dementia and my MIL is basically the only mother figure
I still have. She's very big on traditions and family, and I've
encourage my DH to keep up those traditions with her, even at the
expense of spending time with my own parents. This past weekend
my DH threw me a surprise 35th birthday party, which he had planned
for over 10 months. Imagine my surprise and hurt when my ILs decided
3 weeks ago to go away for the weekend, because they had a coupon
for a hotel! My DH is pissed, and I feel like it was a slap in
the face! They have never done anything like this before! It came
out of nowhere, and now I don't know what to do. I feel like cutting
them off forever.

Worst gift: My EGMIL
gave me a ceramic toilet brush one Christmas. She said that it
was because she thought it was cute, but told me that it was to
keep my bathroom clean. I'm fanatically clean, and she just happened
to stop in one day 2 minutes after my DH had taken an extended hiatus
in the ol' water closet, and I hadn't had the chance to remedy the
situation.
