My first marriage broke
up due to the meddling of my MIL and SIL. Five years later I met
someone and married again. You guessed it, my NEW MIL and SIL took
me on again!! I learned something from the first marriage, though,
that I'll share with you: The females in your new family will ALWAYS
take you on!! In my first marriage I came out swinging to defend
myself, hurt and angry. In my second marriage, I (a) acknowledged
that we are different people who will have to learn how to live
with one another, and (b) did not respond to the first few (more
than a few) problems. By the time I went to my DH for help, my
SIL's behavior was so blatant that he couldn't help but see it,
and stepped in for me. My ILs still drive me crazy, and are not
considerate of me and my DD from my previous marriage. But, there
are more and more good moments. And because I ignore so much rude
treatment, whenever I draw a line in the sand, my DH stands on the
side of it with me.

This was my first Christmas
for my DH and me in our new home. My MIL showed up with the guests
that she invited to her house to show off her "son's new house".
She then asked me where the food was, and expected me to serve all
of her guests. She walked into my house and never acknowledged
me. She then sat down and attempted to get me to serve her, while
she offered no help! All of her guests came in and walked all over
my new house and left trash and cans all over it. DH and I have
been together for 11 years, and she has been he!! on wheels from
day one. But this was the last straw. Oh, did I mention that her
brother went into my brand new guest bathroom and smoked!! They
left, and stuck me with cleaning up!

And then there was the
cooking. Yes, Evil Bitch From He!! can cook, and must be praised
for it at every second spent at the dinner table. We are not to
mention that we eat the same things every time. And I must hold
back the stomach illness I get when eating over-spicy food, because
her food is "simply the best" (her words), isn't it.
And god forbid I want to try a different dish every now and again.
But my absolute favorite was when my DH found out that I can bake,
and rather well. I had identified a certain cake, in particular,
that he loved, and as it didn't take long to make, I'd whip it up
on the spot if he wanted it. The result - I was actually FORBIDDEN
(again, her word) from baking, because it was unhealthy and making
my DH put on weight. Yes, my baking made my DH fat and unhealthy.
It had nothing to do with the second and third portions that she
would dish out for him and put in front of him, despite his protests.
It wasn't the stress and anxiety of having to live with an impossible
woman who was giving him high blood pressure before he was 30.
Although, according to her that was my fault, too. The fact that
he had been taking medication for both of those problems before
he and I even met was completely disregarded. One time when we
were all (yes, the outlaws included) at my parent's house in the
lead up to my sister's wedding (we had all come back to the house
from a pre-wedding party around midnight) MIL had my 75+ year old
GM prepare food for my DH, who had, incidentally, gone to bed and
didn't want anything to eat. Then, she presented it on a plate
and with a warm cup of milk (which he also was not allowed to drink
due to asthma problems) and had me take it to him while he was trying
to sleep. This despite my trying to reason with her several times
that he's not allowed to drink milk, had just had dinner, and wanted
to go to sleep!! Silly old cow. So, I took the food to him and
when he said that he didn't want it, I told him that he could tell
his mother himself, since she wasn't listening to me. He didn't
tell her so, but he did go and put the plate of food and cup of
milk back in the kitchen, untouched, in front of her. I think that
this was the one and only time that he did anything like that.
A few months later we split up because of his mother.
