During my pregnancy with our first child, MIL and
FIL were helping us financially so that we could pay for the medical
expenses. The day that we brought our newborn home, MIL threatened
to quit helping financially if we didn't bring the baby over to
see her. We invited her over, explaining that the doctor told me
not to go anywhere for a few days. She refused. She then suggested
that my DH bring the baby over without me! Finally, we relented
and went over. The next day I had some complications.

Frequent

- Fightingalosingbattle, 2 of 4 needed
/Posted: 22-JAN-08
Last summer, we were looking to get some electrical
work done. The electrician we chose was one whom my MIL used frequently
(and my DH went to high school with him). One night, without provocation,
he showed up on my doorstep. I had just gotten off the phone with
my MIL minutes before. He didn't have any job to do, and it was
8 pm. He claimed that he dropped by just to visit, since he had
just left my MIL's house. Weird. Not wanting to be rude, I invited
him in to see what he wanted. He started asking about what I do
on weekend nights; if I ever go out, if my DH ever takes me out,
etc. Then, he suggested that some night he would come by and take
me out. I asked him if he thought his wife would be ok with that,
and he said, "Sure." Then, I said that my DH would not
approve, and he said, "Well, that's too bad, we could have
fun." Finding this odd, I sent him away and called DH to tell
him what had happened. DH thought that it was strange, too. A
few days later, MIL called DH and said, "I just called the
house and your wife didn't answer. I think she's out with a guy."
What in the world would make her think that? Hmm.

I have been married for
almost 14 years, and we've been together for 17. We have a 13 year
old and a 9 year old. For most of our life together, we have lived
300 miles away from my ILs. Never did they attempt to come visit
us or communicate with the kids. We moved "home" (3 miles
away) a year ago, and it has been horrible since. Throughout our
relationship, my MIL has always tried to break us up. She says
things like, "If you and DH get divorced, you're the one who
has to move cuz it's his house, not yours." I don't work outside
the home. Any time something dramatic happens in our life, she
is quick to put the blame on me. I have kept a blog for years to
voice my feelings (never have I been cruel to her on it, just expressing
my hurt feelings over things). She constantly reads it and then
calls my DH and whines and cries to him about it. DH and I got
into a big fight in September, and I asked him to leave for a couple
of days. While he was at his parents' house, MIL consistently tried
to push him to file for divorce, custody of the kids, and to force
me to move out of our house. She even went as far as calling an
attorney. They have a lot of money, and she is constantly holding
his "inheritance" over his head. She has threatened to
write him out of the will if he doesn't do what she wants him to
do. At one point, she even said that she would write him out of
it, and cast us all out of the family (kids included) if he didn't
divorce me. For 12 years I grinned and bared it. I never voiced
my opinion about her, never called her on her actions, and never
spoke to my DH about it. Last Thanksgiving, we were lied to. They
told us that they weren't doing anything for the day, and they didn't
want to get together. They've never been big on holidays. Later,
we found out that they and his sister had gotten together for a
traditional dinner and movies. They did the same thing to us on
Christmas and New Years. Our kids worked hard hand-painting ornaments
for them all for Christmas, and none of them even said, "Thank
you," to the kids. Our kids are the only blood-related grandchildren
in this family. We are now selling our house and heading back to
where we were for 10 years. And, all she could say was, "Well,
obviously you have chosen her over your inheritance." DH said,
"I chose her and our children a long time ago. And as far
as the inheritance goes, DONATE IT TO CHARITY!" This made
me smile! He has never stepped up for me before.
