If you have any problem reading my story, then I am sorry.  My English is not good.  I don't know how long I have to suffer with my MIL.  She is the most negative person I have ever met.  DH has two brothers and one sister.  DH is the eldest son of the family.  I didn't know that my MIL was unhappy about our marriage, because she pretended that I am the perfect bride for her son.  After marriage, I saw her real face.  In front of my DH and FIL, she acts as if she loves me more than life.  But, when they are not all around, she insults my dowry and does not give me enough food.  Not only that, she fired all the maid servants, and I have to do all household chores.  But, when someone comes to visit, she tells them that she has to do all the work at home, and that I am the one who sleeps to noon.  She makes up stories about how she and I fight, and tells them to others while crying.  She enters my room when I am not in the house.  She has duplicate keys for my room, my drawer and my wardrobe.  She takes my things without telling me.  She cut a hole in my favorite dress.  She kept some tabiz (a talisman) in my room and showed it to my DH to prove that I am a witch.  All the time, she and her DD lied about me and other people.  If anybody challenges them, they shout that they hate liars, and state that they never tell lies.  Then, I got a part time job in addition to my studies.  The situation took a turn for the worse.  They constantly pressure me to to leave my job and study.  DH doesn't believe me, as he thinks MIL is the honest one.  FIL shouted at me that I have to leave my job, study and do their housework.  He told DH to beat me.  Then, I went to my parents' house.  That time, I was so sick.  My parents took me along for a checkup and found that, because of severe mental pressure, my thyroid stopped working properly.  Now I am suffering from hypothyroidism.  But still, I don't have freedom from MIL.  She acts as if she is sick.  So, DH forced me to go to his house to take care of my MIL.  I went there, and for about a week I did all the work at their home.  MIL is absolutely fine.  When DH is at the office, she and her DD verbally abuse me.  When anyone comes from outside and when my DH comes, she lays down in bed again.  Doctors found nothing wrong with her.  I felt sick because of a urine infections and mumps.  I went to my parents' house.  Then, she told everybody that I am not sick and that I am just acting  I did nothing all those days.  I just ate and rested.  I just can't bear it anymore.  I want freedom from this liar.  She is not a human being; she is a monster.  She told me, "Why don't you die or go mad?"  Now DH realizes that she hates me, but he still loves her a lot and wants to live with her.  I don't know what to do now.  I love DH a lot, but I can't live in her house with her.  I just can't find a solution.  Sometimes I feel so depressed.  Now I don't have my job, either.

My MIL and I used to get on great until my partner and I got engaged last summer.  Everything just went downhill from there, as she tried to manipulate our wedding left, right, and center.  It was just a constant string of bullying and guilt-tripping.  She originally wanted to make all the accessories for the bridesmaids, and the tables decorations.  But, then she came up with countless excuses, when it actually came to doing anything.  Last December, we found out that she'd invited a whole bunch of extra people to the event, without even asking us (most of whom we didn't even know!).  DF gave her a huge telling off over the phone for this.  He refused to speak to her after that, since she told him not to bother visiting the family for Christmas.  I called her in the new year to try and make peace.  I was then informed that she and my FIL had decided that they now no longer wanted anyone to attend the wedding from their side.  So, she just went ahead and UNINVITED DF's entire family and their friends, because she felt that they shouldn't bother coming after the way that we had supposedly treated them.  I was very diplomatic about the whole thing, trying not to totally lose it.  But, I did tell her that I wasn't happy with what she'd done.  We then got an email a day later saying that she and my FIL no longer wanted to attend our wedding dinner, because they wouldn't know anyone there (AFTER SHE UNINVITED EVERYONE SHE KNEW!).  Also, since my dad was paying for the wedding, they didn't feel at all welcome.  This, after my parents had gone totally out of their way to try and include them in the wedding plans, despite their lack of financial input.  My dad drove a long way down at 1 am in the morning last Valentine's Day, when my MIL tried to commit suicide.  Thus, helping to save her life (but that's an entirely different story).  In fact, my parents' attempts to try and build a relationship with my parents-in-law was met with rude emails from my MIL.  So, in the end they just gave up.  We haven't spoken to my parents-in-law since the email in which they said that they would leave the wedding straight after our civil ceremony.  DF is going to contact them shortly to give them up an ultimatum:  Show up or don't come at all!  This is bound to create more drama.  Won't it ever end?!
