My DF and I have been
together for 4 years. He backs me in every situation and stands
up for me. During our first year of dating, I came to find out
that his mother was taking money from our account, while he was
in the service. I confronted her, and she said that it was none
of my business. He left her alone here with her husband and daughter.
So, I closed every account that we had till he was honorably discharged.
Every time we talked about going to a lawyer for the missing money,
she claimed to have some type of cancer. She has claimed this 4
different times, and in 3 different areas. When she was confronted,
all she ever said was, "I have no clue what you are talking
about." So, we totally ignored this little game. We found
out that she has severe depression and anxiety. You name it, she
supposedly has it. This is her excuse for being a witch to us.
So, after we went to our lawyers, we decided to postpone everything.
I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't want the issues while
being pregnant. Well, we didn't exist to his family until I was
8 months along. I was induced, and his parents waited in the waiting
room for over 12 hours. When our DD was born, they took her into
the nursery to be weighed. His mother and sister ran to the window
and said, "I can only see my GD through a window. What type
of an evil ***** is she?" They only weighed my DD. Then,
she barged into my room, knocking over nurses, to hold my DD before
I did. No joke. The nurses were going to call the police, but
I told them not to. I guess my MIL was horrible for the whole 12
hours. She was so disruptive that the nurses had other hospital
staff telling her to calm down. To make a long story short, we
did not go to Thanksgiving this year because his mother threatened
to kidnap our child. She was so angry that she cannot see our DD
every 2 days that she called and threatened us. So, after that
we talked to my parents and my minister, we all decided to just
go to Christmas, be nice, and leave at the first sign of trouble?
The week before Christmas, I received a phone call. It was my MIL's
oldest sister. She informed me that I am a bad mom and that I neglect
my child by going to college. She is going to take me to court
and have my DD taken away. She will make sure that my ILs get custody
of our DD. I informed her they have rights, she said that DF and
I need to get over it. MIL's sister said that she was going to
take my DD legally or illegally from me, just because no mom should
be going to college and neglecting her child. I explained that
my mother was going to watch our DD when I was in class, and that
I was only taking night classes. I was informed that I am crazy,
and I am ruining DD's life. I have no clue as to what to do now.
My MIL is now telling people that she is terminally ill with cancer,
and she can't see our DD while she is on her death bed. I have
done everything but bite my tongue and be nice. I snapped and told
her, politely, that she is a control freak, that she needs professional
help, and that she is not going to bully me, back me into a corner,
or shame me. If she wants to see her GD, she is going to comply
with our rules. She didn't like us telling her that, so she grabbed
me and tried hitting me. She has had an issue with me for a long
time. She hates the fact that my parents have a little extra money
and they live comfortably. My MIL never calls, telegraphs, or anything
to see how our DD is doing or to help out. We have made the first
move every time, and we were nice about it. Now, it is getting
so far out of hand that it is terrible. We ignore his family, it
gets worse (the cancer bit and trying to hit me). I honestly would
have hit her, even though she missed, but I have a DD to think about
and I'm more mature than that. If we comply then she wins, and
she feels that she has control. I am stuck in a rut and can't find
my way out.

I have to rant! On New
Year's Eve my DH was very sick with the flu. A couple of days later
he was fine, and so we went back to my mum and dad's house, where
my mom baked a lemon pie (DH's favorite). We saw MIL later that
night, and she asked what we had to eat. When we told her how DH
liked the pie so much that he had two pieces, she said, "Your
mom can't feed him healthy food? It's all sugar!!!" Hmm,
last time I checked DH was a GROWN MAN! It's his decision if he
wants one piece of pie or the entire pie! I'm not his baby-sitter
or his mum, and I don't make sure that he has his 5-7 servings of
veggies a day! Hello!

This is the first of what
will probably be many posts. I've been married for 10 years, and
have a lot of stories. DH is a great guy, and he knows that his
mother is insane. He always backs me up. MIL is absolutely bonkers.
She is 70 and acts like she is 170. She's an expert in all health
matters, and also a walking pharmacy. DD had a cold and was home
from school. DD is 13 and she is able to be home alone. MIL called
the house and DD answered. MIL asked why she was home, so DD told
her. I got a panicked phone call from MIL. Then, DD called, barely
able to talk over the laughter. MIL started to chew me out for
leaving DD home alone. I interrupted MIL and told her to mind her
own business. I got on the phone with DD, and she told me that
her GM told her to melt a teaspoon of vapor rub and swallow it to
help her cold. She also told DD that she would be right over with
antibiotics, acetaminophen with codeine, cough syrup with codeine,
and vinegar. DD told her she that was fine, and not to come over.
MIL has never been to our new home by her own choice. DD asked
what the vinegar was for. MIL told her that it would clear her
sinuses if she would lay back and pour it in her nose. OMG. Again,
MIL called to tell me what a horrible mom I was to leave my sick
DD home all alone with the dog. Again, I told her to mind her own,
and not to call me at work again.

Bonkers
