DH and I have been married
for 2 years, and we've been together for 4. I have a son from a
previous relationship. When we first started dating, my MIL was
nice to me, but didn't have too much to do with my son and me.
When we found out that we were going to have a baby, my MIL flipped
out, and was saying things like, "What are y'all going to do?"
and making such a big deal out of it. It wasn't any of her business
how we were going to raise our child. I mean, DH was almost 30
years old and lived on his own, about 50 miles from her. From there
things got worse. When I went in labor, she stayed in the room
and wouldn't leave. She just thought that it was ok for her to
be in there, when I wanted my mother to be there. After my child
was born, she had to come to our house every weekend, or we had
to come to her house. I hated that, because all the family lived
right there, together, and they were all so annoying and noisy.
It is just overbearing to be around. When our wedding came up,
she went to the church before I got there and put all the decorations
up. She didn't even bother to ask where or how I wanted things.
It made me very upset. She picked out my bridesmaid dresses and
cake before I even got to the place to see them. She and my FIL
have been divorced now for 23 years, and he's been remarried and
divorced. She hasn't even had a BF in that time. But, since FIL
and his last wife got divorced, every time we make plans with my
FIL and SIL, my MIL thinks that she has to be there for some insane
reason, and it makes the new GF feel uncomfortable. I hate her,
and it's beginning to make me want a divorce.

I am not MIL's "dream"
DIL. I am not 5'2" with blond hair, blue eyes, and subservient
to her will. I am, in fact, 5'7" "ethnic" female
with brown hair, brown eyes, and a mind of her own. With that being
said, MIL does her best to get back at me in her own evil ways.
The latest incident involves Christmas presents for the GC. The
GC want expensive things for Christmas every year, and, as I am
on a limited budget, I asked MIL if she would be interested in splitting
the cost of the "wow factor" presents (MIL is VERY WEALTHY).
She readily agreed to the plan, but she has taken to shorting me
money when she pays me back each year. Two years ago she shorted
me $10, last year $20, and this year $30. As she knows, I am in
charge of buying Christmas gifts from my personal account (DH and
I have separate checking accounts, which I prefer) this is a direct
insult to me. After she shorted me again this year, I took one
of her Christmas gifts from under the tree (I paid $30 for it, but
it was actually worth $90) and donated it to charity. So, that
way MIL can continue to feel good about shorting me each year, and
I can feel good knowing that, in fact, she is only shorting herself.

I am done with my ILs! I am taking back my life
and my DH, and they can't do one little thing about it. After all
the things they have done to us, after all the things MIL had to
say about us, I still had hope for a relationship with them - that
was, until this weekend! On Fridays I only work until 14:00, but
this particular day I left at 12:00! I decided to visit my DH at
his place of work. I only spent a few minutes with him before MIL
pitched up! She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me! It
was priceless! She didn't expect me to be there! She put her hand
on her hip and asked me, in a really nasty voice, "Don't you
work anymore?" Even my DH looked at her in surprise! I just
smiled and said, "Yes, I do!" She got hopping mad because
I didn't tell her why I was not at work! It felt so good to upset
her for a change. That incident was still not her worst! The next
day, she phoned my DH. She had hurt her back, and asked if he would
please inject her for the pain! He said, "Fine," but
he told her that he was at home with his partner from work, so if
she was able to drive over to our house, it would be fine! Five
minutes later she arrived, but didn't get out of the car! DH had
to get in the car with her to inject her, and after that she just
drove off! That was the last straw! I jumped down DH's throat
for getting in that car and for not telling her that she is rude!
Then, I told him that this is the last time ever that she will disrespect
me, him, or our guests! I am done with his family (except his eldest
sister)! He agreed with everything I said, and asked if it was
okay for him to still have a relationship with his mother and father!
I said, "Yes," but only if it doesn't get in the way of
OUR relationship, and if he won't give in to his mother's every
whim! So, the matter is done! Subject closed! I will not be made
unhappy by a woman whose only claim to fame is giving birth to a
wonderful son! DH is keeping to my rules about the ILs very well!
She has phoned about 5 times this week, and every time he told her
to go away, he has his own family now, and his own house, to take
care of! She is not happy! This is the first time, in a very long
time, that my DH and I have not been fighting about them, and it
is great!

New Freedom!
