Hurtful Mother-in-law …please help!

Well, my husband and I had a baby about 6 months ago and everything between the mother and I was just fine. But oh how it changed.
I have a child from a previous relationship and she was always nice to my son.
My husband and I are from different ethnic backgrounds and I never thought that that was a problem for anybody. But now i don’t know what to think.
Ever since her new granddaughter came around I am always hearing that my daughter looks like everyone else in her family and she looks nothing like me. Like she looks like my husbands 5th cousin whom is twice removed more than she looks like me. I’m unsure if I’m overreacting.
Then it was a couple of weeks ago she humiliated me in front of everyone in his family and said that my son is not family because he doesn’t share there last name!…

My finace and i have been together for 3 years and are discussing seriously about getting married soon. My future mother in-law just came to visit. i work in a different city and only stay at our house 3 days a week, then work in another city the other 4 days. so before i left i knew my fiance’s parents were coming to stay a few days so i cleaned our house top to bottom. (not that i was trying to impress them because their house is dirty and clutterd but i wanted their stay to be relaxing). They left the day i would be coming home so i actualy didn’t get to see them. But when i got home i found a note placed on top of my laundry hamper in our bedroom…it read: “Gina, pick up your mess! remember, this is Jason’s home not yours or MINE.” Then…

so my mother in law decided that we needed to chat about our relationship and i thought it was a complete disaster! i know she ment well but she basically told me that if i did not start making more of an effort to get to know them (i see them once a week) that they were not going to consider me family or be able to really love me! she was not only stating this about spending more time with them but also with her daughters . . . when i told her that i was busy all she had to say was “well we are ALL busy, thats life”. i want to make things work but i also want boundaries, building a relationship with my husband is my first priority and i dont always have time to go just hang out with the mother in law/sisters! does anyone…

My MIL is a huge enabler. She has been ready at moments notice to step into my wifly shoes and do whatever her son wants done i.e. cook his meals, handle finances get him drugs from her Dr. buy personal and family items, pay his errant bills, look the other way when he spends untolled money on street drugs etc. The ONLY thing my MIL does NOT do ( that I am aware of ) is have sex w/ my hubby. Mabe that is due to the fact that my hubby has been unable to have sex for the last 26 years!!! HELP!!!!!!!!! I am DISGUSTED by their relationship. NOTE: My MIL looked the other way when her husband ( now divorced ) repeatedly raped her then 12 year old daughter. My MIL retains unbelivalbe control over my Sister-in-law to this day!! I once told my Sis in law that…

OK so this is the situation. My soon to be MIL has my fiance run all over town doing errands for her. Wakes him up at all hours to do these errands or just to talk to him. Sometimes just to ask him a question or have him play a board game with her. She calls his cell phone all the time when we are out without any respect to what time it is or what we may be doing. He says it is easier to just do what she ask than say no. If he does, she blows up or says he does not love her. HOW DOES ONE DEA? WITH THIS?

STUCK IN BETWEEN US TWO

Ok i am a newly wed and my husband and i have been with each other thew thick and thin. my mother in law gave my husband a house that he grew up at, and four months later she took it back cause he dissagreed on an opinion she had. and now we havent been talking to her for a month, and
all of a sudden she wants to give him a car. i told him it would be best if we got her to sign a contract saying the car is his. am i wrong for saying that or should i just stay out of his bussiness or stand my ground and watch out for him??

Well I guess I’ve always known my mother in law hasn’t liked me but it all really started when we had a date for our wedding. We were just going to get it legalized. Just us and the parents…if the siblings wanted us there fine…if not..no big deal. We had our big wedding plans but were going to save more money for it. So the first thing she says is ” That day isn’t good for me. It’ll be on the 19th instead. ” Ok well I let that one fly by. Then she invites the WHOLE family. After we said no guests…we were going to send out save the date cards or something. So we still haven’t had our wedding because no one wanted to come twice…she knew that and still invited everyone….we didn’t get the dream wedding we wanted because his mom took over…Not that she listened to…
