The Worst thing I ever
heard my MIL say to my DH in person was directed at him, and she
said it to his face. This was, of course, after accepting everything
SIL said about us as factual. I'll never forget how shocked and
abusive it sounded. We were there in her entirely blue living room,
and DH walked in to greet his mother while I sat in a chair on the
left side. She stood up, looked him in the eyes and said, "Hello,
Ugly." I can't imagine any mother loving their son so little
as to belittle him like that just because he would not give her
or SIL their own way. My entire experience with this family has
been how their daughter excels, and their son failed their expectations.
I don't see why. He is employed with the government, and he credits
me for giving him the confidence to become who he is today. We
no longer speak to SIL, FIL or MIL.

The most toxic event:
A few years ago MIL ended a friendship that she held for a long
while, with a sweet woman, because the lady took my side in our
family feud. MIL openly and bitterly said to my face, "She
just doesn't know you well enough to know any better. I know who
you really are." My other favorite MIL quote is this, "It's
not our fault you can't make it in the world". So, if that's
not a toxic MIL, I don't know what is.

The Worst Christmas memory:
MIL informed us that, since SIL was married first, it was always
going to be up to her what day the Christmas gathering would fall
on. Well, rather than going along with a dictatorship the rest
of my life, I made a compromise that I could attend breakfast at
SIL's, but dinner always was held that day traditionally at my family's
home. Although they accepted the compromise, SIL was clearly annoyed.
She took so many personal shots at me that day that I went home
in the afternoon crying in the car. My DH said that never again
would we go there, because every gathering at SIL's home ends with
her dishing it out, as she believes she is upper class and insults
our choices in careers, friends, anything. MIL and SIL are in cahoots
with the insults. MIL openly admitted that she favors SIL over
DH, so my folks try to be as sweet and kind to him as they can.
MIL says that SIL makes her feel important. The two of them deserve
one another. They are . . .
