I have been checking this
site for almost 6 months now, and have read most of the stories.
I have been married for 3 years, and stayed with my ILs for the
first 2. I can feel what each and every one of you have gone through
because I have been through the same, if not worse. My ILs (especially
MIL, FIL and SIL) made my life miserable. They accused me of cheating
on their son (BTW, my SIL stole money from my account, my new clothes
and shoes, and the first gift my DH gave me, a designer perfume
bottle). They have insulted me over and over again, but they try
to show society that we are the perfect family. This month I have
made up my mind that I am not giving them the right to rule my life,
my emotions or my happiness. I am not letting them affect me.
They can say what they want and do what they want; I am just going
to ignore them and continue with my life. I have done this for
almost 2 weeks now and I am already feeling better and stronger.
I have new found confidence and I feel good about my self. I just
wanted all other DILs, FDILs to try this technique. It has changed
my life and I am sure it will change yours, too. You cannot control
what they say about you, but you can control the way you react to
them. I have chosen not to react and I am feeling so much better
today. About 3 months ago I was suicidal because of the grief my
ILs instilled on me, and was actually planning on detailing all
the nonsense that they put me through. But, today I am not wasting
my time even thinking about them. They don't exist to me and people
who don't exist can't hurt you. I identify with each and every
writer here, and hence wanted to share something that has helped
me overcome my grief. Do let me know what you think and if this
technique has worked/not worked for you.

- SR, 1 of 4 needed/Posted: 4-FEB-07
I've been married for two years. I have a 10 month old DD. MIL
treats me in a very dry, cold way. I still feel like a stranger.
All she cares for are her DDs and DSs, but never me. When she plays
with my DD, she keep laughing and saying, "Look how your DD
loves her daddy, but not you Although you feed her and bathe her,
she never cares." I'm pregnant again now, in the first trimester,
and my mood is not that good. She holds my baby and teaches her
to say "papa," "lala," "dada," anything
except mama. She wants my baby to look like everyone in her family,
but not me. She gets really upset when visitors say that my baby
look so much like me. She either tries to change the subject or
tries to prove otherwise. When I tell her that certain foods are
better not to be offered to a baby at an early age, she just ignores
my words. This makes me feel that she doesn't respect me as a mother.
When I leave my baby with her, since she lives next to us, she simply
offers her any kind of food, even soda. When I come back, she simply
tells me how much my baby enjoyed drinking the soda. If I say something,
she answers, "Come on, you are complicating things. I raised
all my children this way, nothing wrong happened." I'm really
feeling depressed. I need love and support. I have no mother and
no sisters. This is getting hectic. I have to endure everything
that she says and stay silent. I don't want to face her because
I'm afraid that things will get worse and my life will get ruined.
Please tell me what to do. I can't stand it anymore. If my DD
smiles or laughs, MIL says that this happiness is from her family.
If my DD looks smart, again, MIL insists that she's smart like her
DDs or DSs. Everything great must come from her side, and everything
stupid must come from my side. IS THIS FAIR??!!!

I hope someone is listening
who will believe me. I've never gotten real help out of fear for
my life. My ILs are awful, particularly my MIL, GMIL, and SIL.
They are narcissists. For years my MIL and company verbally abused,
stalked, and threatened me. They threatened my life repeatedly.
They threatened to have me committed. They threatened and attempted
to make me fall down stairs to kill my unborn child because it would
be for the better. When I was in the hospital for life and death
surgery, they told my DH that it could be arranged that I have post
operative complications. They even sat around a kitchen table telling
my DH exactly how they were going to have me raped, murdered, my
body dissolved, and my car destroyed. My MIL threatened to take
my children. DH got us out of there. We left seven years ago.
The ILs continued to stalk us. We moved a few times. DH told his
mother to never call again. Last November my BIL called to tell
us that my MIL is dying. We have gone to see them. MIL doesn't
think that she ever did anything wrong, and claims that she never
meant it. DH has little feeling for her, but wants some contact
with some family members. I feel that we cut them all off seven
years ago and it was a good thing. We are staying far away, but
my DH keeps asking more and more of me; and I can't do it anymore.
I love him more than anything, but I can't let these abusive criminals
back into my life, even if for the moment it seems civil. What
do I do?
