MIL has a huge personal issue with me.  Everything I say or do is wrong.  Her DS, on the other hand, can do no wrong.  For example, my family had a surprise baby shower for me.  She did not receive an invitation, nor did her mother.  Her son did not want his mother or grandmother to come because they are loud, rude and obnoxious.  He lied and told them that there was no party.  Then he told them the truth.  My evil MIL blamed it all on me, saying that I lied and that I did not want them there.  Everything I do in this relationship is for my BF.  But, my MIL insists that I'm fake, that I lie, and that I'm basically a horrible person.  When she comes to stay with us, she always starts fights with me.  The last time, I stayed in my room, while she controlled my household.  This time, when she came to stay, we got into a huge fight once again.  I told her my feelings, instead of backing down.  After the fight, she came and gave me a kiss on my forehead.  She said, "See, I'm glad we can tell family how we feel."  She says horrible things to me, when her DS is not around.  Then, when I tell him, he does not believe me, and she denies it.  She talks bad about me to everyone and anyone she can, and denies it to my face.  She also does weird things with her son.  She allows him to sleep in bed with her.  She rubs his chest in the morning to wake him, in front of me, I might add.  She's absolutely obsessed with her son.  He can do no wrong.  His sister moved away because of her mother's craziness.  Then, sadly, she died in a car accident.  God bless her soul.  BF's brother joined the army to get away from her.  She is sick.  I am so confused as to what to do with her.  The baby shower incident caused so much drama that the grandmother and grandfather won't come to the hospital.  They think I talk about them, calling their household dirty, and whatever other lies MIL makes up.  Here's the problem.  I told BF that I did not want his mother to stay overnight with us anymore.  He agreed, because she is coming to stay with us when my DD is born.  Now, he and his mother made up and he is asking me why she can't stay.  I'm terrified.  If this does not stop, I will have to leave.  I'm having a DD with this man, and he chooses his mother over me.  He pays for everything when she comes for weeks at time.  He always takes her side, and pretends that I'm the crazy one.  It's sad, but I'm bringing another life into this world.  I refuse to let her be corrupted by MIL and their sick relationship.  I also forgot to mention that she is delusional.  She tells me that god speaks to her and that she enters time tunnels when there are emergencies in the family.  God drips blood onto her windshield and makes her go through time tunnels to get there in five minutes, instead of two hours.  I'm terrified to have this woman around my child.  What should I do?  She is destroying my relationship with BF, my life and my integrity.  She is making me go crazy.  I guess she is doing her job as a Monster-In-Law!  My baby is being induced soon.  Please, I NEED HELP!!!!

I am headed out later this month to see DH's family and introduce them to our new addition.  DH is deployed, and his grandparents are in poor health.  I want to make sure they get chance to see their great-grandson.  We are not sure if they will make it until DH gets home.  DH's aunt and my MIL also live in town, along with FIL and Step-MIL.  I get along great with my FIL and Step-MIL, but the rest I can do without.  After some recent nasty emails from DH's aunt, I decided that it would be best not to see her without DH.  I sent an email, BCC to everyone, with my itinerary for my visit later this month.  I explained to them that, due to some recent emails, I will not be seeing DH's aunt.  I said that I would appreciate it if people would respect my decision.  I explained that I had not sent her the email, so she did not have the itinerary.  I also asked that when it came to DS, I would appreciate it if they would sit when holding DS.  He is 4 months old and over 17 lbs.  I didn't want anyone getting hurt (my mom sprained her back a month ago carrying DS).  MIL responded back to EVERYONE in the family, including DH's aunt, telling me that: 1)  I should not BCC people, because she couldn't see who was getting the email.  2)  I need to include everyone in all my emails to the family.  3)  I should tell the whole story about why I am not seeing the aunt and that I started the email war by sending her a nasty email.  I didn't, but that's not what she thinks.  4)  I should let people decide if they can handle walking around with my DS.  DH saw the email and told me to ignore her, send emails the way I want, take DS back from those who don't want to sit with him, and leave if his aunt shows up while I am visiting.  If anyone is mad and contacts him, he'll deal with them.  I love The Man!
