I came across this web site tonight, as I needed a place to tell my story.  I've been married for almost 3 years now, and, at first, MIL and I were like BFFs.  Three 3 months after we got married, I found out that I was pregnant.  DH joined the military.  While he was in basic training, MIL lost a tooth and I paid $400 for her to get a new one.  Then, we went down to visit for family day.  MIL took him aside and asked him to borrow $500, after we had paid for their hotel room, all their food and everything.  I voiced my opinion, and told her that she needed to pay us back.  Ok, no problem.  She said that she would.  DH graduated.  Months passed, and we still hadn't seen anything.  We needed it because we were struggling.  All I did was call and ask for it.  MIL flipped out and started cussing me.  She threatened to call DHS and take my DD away.  She threatened a lot more that I don't even want to mention.  I forgave her.  This was a few years ago.  We were all getting along until DH found out that he is deploying.  He left in November, then came back for Xmas leave.  DH, DD and I stayed at MIL's house all week, including Xmas Eve and part of Xmas Day.  We left around noon on Xmas Day so that my family could spend some time with their GD and SIL before DH left a few days later, which is also my DD's birthday.  Well, the last day that DH was here, he wanted to have a family day, just him, DD and me, since we hadn't been alone once (mind you, his deployment will last a whole year).  That's when the trouble started.  The day he left (she wouldn't do it with him there), she got so mad that she started being a child and posting bad stuff about me on the internet, saying how selfish I was and that I was nothing but trash.  If I was with her, she said she'd kick my @ss.  She feels that he never should have married me, and that I'm a lazy b!tch who is taking money from her DS.  She doesn't work, either.  She took several thousand from her other DS, and is mad because she can't take from DH.  She went as far as to have one of my BIL's prank call me.  Then, she called and harassed me.  She also called DH, while he was training, and said that I'm starting stuff.  Meanwhile, I haven't said 1 word about anything.  I was acting as if nothing happened.  I seriously don't know what to do with this crazy person.  She acts like a child.  She said that I'm keeping him away from her.  He stood up for me, and continues to do so, but I just don't know what to do.  We go down to visit with DH in 19 days, before he actually gets on the plane to Iraq.  I am going to have to suck it up again for him, like always, because I have to be the bigger person.  I'm just at my last straw with this woman.  She hates me because I don't do everything she wants, and her son isn't spending every waking moment with her.  I don't need this stress, especially with him being gone.

Worst gift:  My DS is ten months old, and the first grandchild.  A few days before Xmas, my MIL made a huge show of asking my DH and me which of two baby stores we'd prefer a gift card from for our son's Christmas present.  The holiday came and went, and none of us received anything.  Several days later, she dropped in to deliver our present - a gift card to a hardware store.  She has NEVER bought the baby a present, or even sent him a card.  I don't know what to think anymore.
