I have finally found true love, after a horrible first marriage, and caring for my 2 children on my own.  I am a university and college graduate, and make a comfortable living.  However, my new MIL has made it clear to the family that I am taking advantage of her son.  She even went so far as to say that she bought our house, and she stormed out of my child's 5th birthday party because his father was present.  She brings people over unannounced to show them the house that she gave her son.  Her DD called and said that I need to respect my MIL, because she bought our house, and that I am using her brother.  MIL is an alcoholic cougar who will use men for their money.  I am self-sufficient and loving to my children.

frequent fry her - Outsider DIL Frequent Fry Her TM. - The Outsider DIL/Posted: 10-FEB-10
I told DH that I was tired of his mother using him.  Tonight, my MIL called DH (after calling him several times today and spending all day with him) to ask him to come down and get his nephew to quit crying.  I had a problem with this, as his mother always does this.  Not to mention that when she is with our child, if she cannot get him to stop crying, we get called home immediately from wherever we are (even if it has only been about 30 minutes since we left). However, with BIL and SIL's child, she makes my DH come down and take care of him.  She has FIL with her, so she is not alone.  She never makes BIL/SIL come home because their child is crying.  Today, BIL, SIL, MIL, FIL, and my DH went to an event, and left me at home with DS.  BIL and SIL dragged our poor nephew around all day, so he didn't get a nap, and was over-tired by the time they left him with the ILs.  BIL's and SIL's should have to deal with the consequences and come home, like we did.  It should not be a totally different standard.  This is just one example of how MIL uses my DH.  I am 20 weeks pregnant and have been furiously looking for a job for nearly 2 years.  DH is unemployed, as MIL had him taking care of his GM, while she and FIL stayed gone, either hanging out with BIL and SIL, or just gone.  His GM passed away last fall, and then his mother started trying to get him to be BIL and SIL's child's 24/7 free on demand childcare service.  I straight out told them, "NO WAY."  MIL also acts like my DH is her spouse.  She has never really acknowledged me as his wife, and acts like I am not my child's parent.  She completely ignores my pregnancy.  While I have some things for DD, there are some things that I don't know if I will be able to get, due to our financial situation.  But, it seems that DH can get all the money he wants from MIL to support his smoking habit, and whatever else he wants to do.  MIL also acts like I am the most worthless person she has ever met, and that nothing I ever do is right.  MIL is also a pathological liar, and doesn't like me around because I see through her lies.  MIL lied to DH about some really big things.  She lied to him about a house, that she bought with his trust fund, getting foreclosed on.  She even lied to FIL.  DH never made solid boundaries with her, and always allowed her to overstep her bounds, especially in regards to our relationship.  He once bought me some lingerie on his debit card, and his mother traced the purchase and saw the lingerie that he bought for me to wear.  I was mortified, as well as embarrassed.  Tonight, when he got home from going down to MIL's to take care of BIL and SIL's child, I told him that I thought it was messed up that we always had to come home, and yet BIL and SIL never have to.  And, I said that I am annoyed that they always will watch BIL and SIL's child, but will never watch our child, especially if it means that I might get the chance to interact with other adults.  I also told him that I am sick of him running whenever she calls him.  BTW, MIL gets annoyed if I answer the house phone instead of my DH.  I said that it (along with the constant criticism and abuse) needed to stop.  He told me to, "Go to hell," and called me a stupid b!tch.  Then, he walked out the door, stating that he was going and not coming back this time.  He just now showed up here at the house, at 12:30 am.  Am I wrong for wanting this to end?  Dealing with his mother has given me anxiety issues (that I never had prior to dealing with her), and is destroying our marriage, as . . .
