I have been with DF for 5 years, and engaged for 1 year.  His mother is a manipulative, sick, rude, mean, controlling, EVIL woman.  She thinks that her son is her son, husband, care giver and lover (if she could, she would).  She is mentally ill, but also very aware of what she is doing at all times.  She has told me that I am using her son for money.  I don't have a job now, but I do have a career.  DF pays for everything.  Mind you, I come from an upper middle class family.  DF's family is poor.  I am with him because he is a great man and treats me well.  His mom lives with us right now.  She has taken over our apartment.  We are saving for the wedding and a house.  My family members are the only ones who can pay for anything, and DF and I are going to help with expenses.  MIL went through all of my clothes and tried to sell them in the front of our apt building.  I cannot find some of my work clothes!!!!!  Also, she is mean and nasty to me when her son is not around, but nice sometimes when he is around.  Here is an example of how she treats me.  The other day, we were sitting on the couch watching a movie.  I went to the rest room.  When I came back, she sat on DF's lap and was rubbing him in a very inappropriate way on the lap and stomach.  She looked at me and said, "Look, she is jealous."  Then, she smiled.  DF said nothing, and let her continue to rub on him.  WEIRD.  Later that night, she walked in on us while we were intimate.  She acts like she does not know what she is doing, but she does.  She tells me that DF is her son, that she had him, and he is hers.  She says that all the time.  She does and says other inappropriate things.  She is so gross.  She is also very jealous of my relationship with his son.  We are close.  He prefers me to her, and that makes her crazy.  Also, I have not been able to cook, clean or do anything in my apartment.  She has taken over, and she eats everything!!!  She hates my cat, and I am really worried that, while I am at work, she treats my cat badly.  The cat is 14 years old and she meows all the time when I get home.  She follows me around the apartment and runs when MIL is around.  Anyway, I am really thinking about not getting married if MIL is around.  She is horrible to me, and . . .

Does it ever really stop?  My DF cut all ties with his mother for a very long list of reasons.  It never started out as a permanent thing, but she has basically been throwing a temper tantrum ever since, and making it into something very permanent.  If we ever have to see each other at family occasions, etc., we will politely say hello.  She will lift her nose, sniff, and turn around.  She makes a big show of not speaking to us.  Then, she always tries to bring things up that aren't really relevant, such as embarrassing stories about how my DF didn't take out the trash when he lived with her when he was younger and such.  I thought that she would surely run out of ammunition, but it hasn't stopped.  There has been no contact with her for almost 2 months.  And, I just recently found out that she is still telling people just complete lies.  One such story is that my DF used to feed the dog bad things on purpose to make him sick.  She said that when we started dating, I fed him bad stuff too.  Completely untrue.  When does it end?  Will she ever just stop making up things and trying to make her son and me look like we are bad people?  I would confront her on it, but I think that it will just fan the flames and make things worse.  Anyone have any experience in this?  Do things get easier over time?
