My DH's oldest brother
passed away 4 years ago. My MIL wore a black T-shirt and stretch
pants to the funeral. How appropriate and thoughtful she is???
Of course, no one said anything, because my ILs are so dysfunctional.
I have been putting up with so much cr@p for 25 years. I need a
therapist.

Frequent
Fry Her TM.

I was not present during this conversation.
My niece, who lived with us for a year, was asked by her GM (my
MIL) if she got everything she wanted for Christmas. My niece said
no, and told her grandmother that what she really wanted for Christmas
was for her uncle and me to have a baby. We have tried on and off
(mostly off) for nearly 7 years. Well, my monster-in-law told my
niece, "Maybe God doesn't want her to have a baby because it
would turn out like her brother." He has muscular dystrophy.
Number one, she devalued my brother's life, which makes me see red,
and I love him more than nearly anything. He is the most golden
hearted boy I have ever met, and tells me he loves me all the time.
I should be so lucky to get as good a child as him. Number two,
if God never intended for anyone "special" to be born,
then there wouldn't be. I think he has a better chance of going
to heaven than Ms.-holier-than-thou MIL. While she claims that
she leads a good life, and she does in most aspects, she is horribly
judgmental, hypocritical, and mean-spirited. Number three, SHE
NEVER ASKED ME IF I COULD PASS MD ON! She should have asked me
to my face, and I would not have taken offense. The type of muscular
dystrophy that he has is autosomal dominant. This means that it
is a dominant trait, and one of the parents must have it to pass
it on. My mother has it and her father had it. Past that, no one
is sure. It also progresses in the generations. My GF was able
to serve in the military. My mother was always mildly mentally
retarded, and got worse at the birth of my brother. Of course,
my brother had it badly when he was born. Well, one thing, it has
made me more determined to have a baby so that I can shove what
she said in her face. And then, I will walk away and not bring
the child to see her again. I'm not telling my DH anytime soon,
because I think it might hurt his relationship with his mother,
and I don't want that. Anything could happen to any child, plenty
of things that are not hereditary. It makes me worry that if anything
were wrong with a child of mine, she would not accept it. Adoption
is also something we've talked about, and we would be willing to
adopt a special needs child. I just think that we are better off
living far enough away so that I don't have to see her too often.
The MIL has "adopted" a child of her niece's as her own
GC. Good for her. She can stay close to that one, and not get
a close relationship with one of mine, so they don't have to be
subjected to her poison. I am so THANKFUL that my brother was born
into my family, where we all love and accept him for who he is.
Even my new aunt and her previous children have taken to him.

My MIL is so dysfunctional.
She drives me crazy. DH and I sent her a check for $400, since
she couldn't afford to buy an airplane ticket to attend her SIL's
funeral. She is on a welfare. She just called us tonight and told
me that she got a check. That was it. No "thank you very
much," nothing. What is her problem? She is so disrespectful
and ungrateful. She lacks social sensitivity, and that's her incurable
illness.
