I used to post on this
site from time to time about my own MIL. I am now lucky enough
to say that I have left my ex-DF, and no longer have to bear the
burden of his mother. I am writing today because of my own mother,
and the disgraceful way she treats my new partner. First, let me
give you some background information. Ex-DF and I were high school
sweethearts. We were together since we were 16. We decided to
end things this year because, although we were very much in love,
we wanted different things from life and were holding each other
back. DM didn't really like DF, at first. She didn't like his
long hair or his tattoos. To be honest, DF didn't really like DM,
either. They came from two different worlds. But, as time passed,
their appreciation of each other grew. Now, I am with the man of
my dreams. He treats me like a princess, and he is exactly what
I have been looking for. There is just one problem - DM HATES HIM!
She has yet to give a reason, but she says that he gives her the
creeps. Please tell me how a clean cut, well dressed man gives
you the creeps more than my long hair tattooed ex? I am young,
and I still live at home while I finish my post-secondary education.
My ex never spent more than an hour in my parents' house in the
seven years we were together. My current partner has painted my
entire room, landscaped our front and back garden (as that is his
profession), cooked my parents gourmet meals twice, and helped my
dad move 50 heavy boxes into our basement. Overall, he has been
so helpful and polite. However, now he is done and very, very hurt.
This past weekend, while he was doing some of the things mentioned
above, his car blew the motor. He had it towed, and was stranded
at my house, which is an hour away from his. He called some friends
and family, and no one was able to come get him until the next day.
So, he asked my mother if he could, perhaps, sleep in our basement
for the night. He explained to her that he had called everyone
he knew, but no one was available. He could not even take public
transit, as it did not run this late at night. To my shock, and
to his, she looked at him and said no. She did not offer a reason,
or a bit of sympathy. He came back to where I was in tears. He
said, "I don't know what I have done. I am so hurt, and I
feel so used." I was completely mortified that she did this
unforgivable act, especially since she is from an area where people
are known for their hospitality and their giving nature. He had
even brought her fresh baked bread that morning! He ended up paying
someone he barely knew $75 to take him home. I am outright disgusted
by her actions, and so is he. He has decided that now is a good
time for us to move in together, and we will be doing so in the
next month. Since this is not the first time she has done this,
I have decided to completely cut her out of my life. She will not
miss anything anyway, as I was the mistake child. I have taken
this treatment for years, and I am so used to it. But he can not
take the hurt.

My DM built her own house,
by hand, while she had cancer (she was a carpenter). My MIL can't
change the smoke detector batteries in her ranch home. DM refused
to use her handicapped placard when she was going through chemo,
because, "Some other person might need it more." My MIL
consistently used HER DM's handicapped placard years after her DM's
death. MIL told my DH that she was "tired of hearing of everything
that you and DW (me) do for DW's cancer-stricken DM, when I can't
even get you to look at my alternator belt."
