Frequent
Fry Her TM
- forgotten, 1 of 4 needed/Posted:
14-DEC-07
I have nowhere to turn. I feel trapped. I stopped
talking to my MIL a month ago, because I found out that she was
talking cr@p about me, again. Six months earlier, we had gotten
into it because she was talking about me. I lost my cool and blew
up at her because she won't listen. She's like a kid. So, this
time, I decided to just avoid her altogether and not talk to her
at all. That way, I couldn't blow up again at her and give her
more reasons to call her family and talk about me even more. DH
and I opened a business together. She told me that if I worked
the business, she would give me $700 a month to stay there and work.
This would allow DH go to work for her, because she needed the help,
and she would pay him. Now that I'm not talking to her, she has
decided that she's not going to give us that money. She has made
it impossible for us to live. DH is getting a contract job come
January, and that job will pay the bills. But, we don't know what
to do in the meantime. I don't want to close the business for a
month and get a job for a month. DH is already working here, at
her place of business, and at another job. I have a son whom I
take care of here at the business, too. So, even if I got a job,
my child is going to go to daycare. I have no clue what to do.
She tells everyone that I owe her an apology for the way I have
been acting, and that I am disrespectful towards her, all because
I want to avoid a situation that she is trying to put me in. I
can literally feel my blood boil when she walks into my line of
sight. I have never had this much anger in me for someone. What
can I do?

My ILs let us know, every
few years, when they are arriving at our house for a visit that
lasts several weeks. When they arrive, they expect to be shown
around and given a good time. They don't pitch in with housework
or bills. MIL makes sharp, critical comments about me when I talk
to her. She also does this behind my back to her DD, sisters, brothers,
and so on. MIL is not in love with her DH, and she has transferred
some of those emotions to her son. So, she competes with me for
his love. She is determined not to "lose" him to me.
The problem is that she knows her son well, and knows what strings
to pull to influence him. She also has the ruthlessness to get
the better of me in any contest (she lies and manipulates to get
her way).

My MIL called my DH at
work again to see if she can take my children. DH told her that
my oldest DD had plans. She made plans two weeks ago with her friend
to have a sleep over. Also, our DDs have a scheduled Christmas
picture to be taken. My MIL is annoyed with DH's answers. She
had asked, "Well, when am I ever going to take my GC overnight?"
Is MIL serious?? After what she had put us through back in July,
does she really think that I am just going to hand my children over
to her again? I had a talk about this whole thing with my DM.
DM agreed with me, but thinks I am wrong to not give my MIL an answer
as to why I am not letting my girls go with their GM. I just feel
as if I would be giving into her if I'd say yes. After 8 years
of being with DH, I am so fed up with giving in to MIL's ways just
to please her. She even has her sister calling and harassing me.
I blocked their phone numbers from calling my house. MIL's sister
called DH's work phone and asked, "Why did your wife block
me and your DM?" DH, again, covered his own behind and lied
for me. I love and appreciate my DH siding with me, but I told
him to stop lying for me. Tell them the truth, if they so happen
to call you. Tell them that your wife wants nothing to do with
them. I had already told my MIL and MIL's sister to leave me and
my kids alone. Apparently they didn't listen to me. And whenever
they want/need something, they always call DH at work.
