I've been with DH for
8 years, married for 2. We have 2 beautiful girls. At our wedding,
I was 3 months pregnant. MIL, who'd had an affair on my FIL with
her now new DH, had the nerve to ask me if she could bring her DF
(at the time) along. I didn't want her there, let alone him. I
didn't want a scene/fight at my wedding. FIL was DH's best man.
So, I gave in and let her bring him. Thank god everything went
smoothly. I am very close with my FIL. When I was pregnant with
my first born, he took me into his home. DH was already living
with him. This woman has threatened to take me to court twice for
GPs visitation, because she found it unfair that my FIL got to see
my oldest DD more then she did. Umm, hello, I was living with him!
DH and I had moved out of state together a few years ago. Not even
a month later, her boy toy moved in with her. DH went to visit
her, one day. Her parents lived on the second floor, as she was
renting from them. She wasn't home, but her BF was. They got into
a little verbal fight, and he threatened my DH. To this day, my
MIL does not believe my DH about the threat. In 2006, I gave birth
to my second child. My MIL was to marry this jerk 2 weeks later.
For months before the birth, and before her wedding, she had asked
my DH to give her away at her wedding. He didn't know what to do.
He asked for my advice, and I told him, "No!" She had
lied to him, his father, and their family about the affair all those
years, and after her DF had threatened him in his childhood home,
she didn't (and still doesn't) believe him. HELL NO! So, she said
to my DH, "Well, if you don't, then I'll just ask my father
again." My DH fell to his knees and gave in to her. He walked
her down the aisle. I had a scheduled C-section, and I tried like
he!! to have it on her wedding day so that my DH wouldn't have to
go. I know it sounds like I am sinking to her level, but the way
she has treated my FIL, my DH and me over the years - enough is
enough! A year after her wedding, she decided that it would be
a good idea for my girls to stay the weekend with her and her new
husband once a month. I agreed, but not at first. DH had me convinced
that they would be ok. I was scared that my girls would start calling
her DH (who is not) "papa". A month went by and the second
visit came. My prediction was right! DD was calling him "papa".
No one from her house had asked us if we thought this was OK DH
has never really "accepted" my MIL's DH. DH didn't say
anything to his mother about this, which made me so pissed off at
him. Later that night, DH sat down with our DD and told her why
he didn't like this. He asked her whether or not she liked calling
him papa. She kept telling him that she didn't know, and that my
MIL's DH did like it. On July 4th, I went to her house. I thought
that everything would be OK, and that everything was done and over
with. I really wanted my girls to have a relationship with their
GM. DH could understand why I was going. He had to work, and he
came up to my MIL's afterwards. When he showed up, I was in tears.
I told him that my MIL and her sister had cornered me about this
situation. I told her that we don't agree to this. My DH has never
accepted her DH as his step-dad. He is very close to his father
(which he had never been, thanks to her). My MIL told me, "Well,
she likes calling him papa. She thinks it's funny, and she keeps
saying it." I told her, "Put a cupcake in front of her.
She'll like that, too. Tell her a chicken joke, she'll find it
funny and she'll keep repeating it. She's 5!" My MIL and
her sister thought that my DH and I were wrong to be making her
decisions, and that she should be making her own. Ummmm, again,
she's 5!!!! Later that night, the kids and I drove home. DH followed
behind in his car. An hour after I was home, he was not behind
me. He drove back into her driveway. With all her ILs and family
visiting, DH caused a scene (YES!!!). He let into the both of them.
My MIL's DH had forced my DD to say it because, like my daughter
said, step-FIL liked it. My MIL came to our house, 2 weeks later,
to fight this issue again. She says that she didn't come for a
fight (ya, right!). Well, she lost, and we had won! I had e-mailed
her (giving in again) about a month later, apologizing for the fact
that she couldn't get what she and her husband would have liked.
I said that I would like for her to still continue her relationship
with her GDs. I tried to be her buddy online, but she denied me
3 times. I told my DH. He asked, "Why bother? Leave her
alone. She is living her fairytale life." I finally listened
to him talk about his mom, and gave up on her. Months went by.
Thanksgiving passed, and we have not heard from her. She called
my DH at work the other day and wanted to take my kids. HA HA HA
HA!!! She really is living in a fantasy world. Not going to happen?
She denied me, and ignores all of us. She drives by my home to
have dinner with 2 ex-GFs of my DH (even invited them to her house),
but can't stop by to see her only DS and GC. DH thinks that she
got in touch with the exes to spite me. Of course she did! But,
that's OK In the end, I won. I have the best!!
