My God. These MIL stories
are a breath of fresh air! I thought my situation with my MIL was
one of a kind. DW and I are going on a year of marriage. Her mother
controlled every aspect of our wedding. I would try to convince
DW that we need to make decisions about "our" wedding,
but once her mother got control over her, it was pointless. Her
mother even picked out DW's wedding dress without us knowing. I
knew DW did not like the dress. She is not able to stand up and
tell her mother what she likes or wants. I kicked and screamed
to try to convince her of the importance of her (of us) being able
to "take a stand" and "take control" of her
life. This was our wedding, and she (we) had every right to pick
out our wedding clothes, for crying out loud. It was so exhausting.
DW did finally realize that she should at least get to pick out
her dress. However, everything else was just as her mother wanted
it. I figured that once the wedding was over, everything would
be better. We would have our own life. NOT! DW and her mother
(and father) own a business together. They control her to a point
where it seems that DW and I do not even have a life. To make matters
more complicated, we now have a son. She takes our son with her
to work every day. It is getting to a point where I have no say
in how we raise our son. Her mother is spoiling him and thinks
that she is the one raising him. I kick and scream trying to convince
DW that we MUST take a stand and that her domineering mother is
ruining our marriage, but it only seems to make matters worse.
If something does not change soon, our marriage may be done.

Frequent
Fry Her TM
- MsPen, 1 of 4 needed /Posted: 25-JAN-08
SIL called me. No "hello", no "how
are you doing?" Her opener was, "I've always hated your
DH for stealing my childhood." WHAT? She went on to explain
that because their parents were not taking care of DH, she had to
drop out of college to care for him herself, and she resents him
for it. Here are the problems with this story: 1) College is
not "childhood". Childhood is when you are a child.
You go to college as an adult. 2) She dropped out of college because
she got pregnant. 3) DH was sixteen years old at the time, so
he really didn't need to be taken care of, nor did anyone ask her
to quit and care for him. 4) DH didn't even know his sister had
dropped out, because she lied to everyone and said she was still
going for over a year after she dropped out. She never even came
back home!
