MIL called and asked what
we wanted for Christmas. Money was tight, with buying gifts for
the kids, so we said, "Instead of presents, if you could help
out with cash or send more for the kids, that would be great."
Apparently, that was the wrong thing to do. Now, I am considered
the worst person on the earth, and the only thing I care about is
money. We didn't want anything for ourselves. We just wanted stuff
for the kids. Was I being selfish?

I have been burned twice.
I've had two awful MILs. What are the odds? The first was terribly
abusive to her son. He had such extreme issues from her that he
killed himself on Mother's Day. Now, she's suing me for visitation
with my DS, her GS. So, yay, I'm dealing with that. The second
is my present MIL. Oh boy, what a psychotic b!tch. She blames
me for absolutely everything. She says that I am only after money
(odd, considering her son had none) and that I am responsible for
the death of my first husband. I couldn't believe that. She accused
me of holding my child hostage from his father. That doesn't make
sense to me. I never asked his father for a cent, because he didn't
have any, and he was trying so hard to get his feet on firm ground.
I also allowed him to see or talk to his son any time he wished.
But I get no credit for that. She also accused me of benefiting
from his death, but his insurance went into a locked trust for our
son. No, her son, who has always had a hard time with how cruel
his mom actually is, doesn't want anything to do with her. Yet,
she accuses me of poisoning him and brainwashing him. Huh, if I
am that good, maybe I should start a cult. I don't think I am selfish.
I don't work. I stay home with the kids because childcare would
eat up every cent I would make. Plus, our DD's a biter, and no
daycare wants that on their hands. But, I do some in-home work.
I draw and do freelance graphic work, and I am writing a novel (I
know the odds of being published are slim, but it's something to
accomplish while I am at home with young children). She is convinced
that I am going to try and profit off of her son, and that he's
a slave!! I worship the ground DH walks on. He's so very sweet
and kind, and never holds anything against anyone. He doesn't have
a temper, and he's the most wonderful person in the world. DH loves
my parents, and would go to them before ever thinking of going to
his mom. He doesn't like her because she takes from everyone.
If you ask for help, you have to pay for it. There's no kindness.
In my family, help and love is freely given, no cost. He loves
that. I just don't understand how mean people could be. I could
never imagine treating my children like this. It's just cruel and
wrong.
