I’m going insane!

I just moved 2,000 miles away so my husband could be closer to his family. I had convinced him. He had just gotten out of the military.

It began when we had told his mother in law not to cut our son’s hair but she and his stepgrandma did it anyway. We were both upset. I post rants of the day on myspace and one day among my other rants I had posted that people should adhere to what parents say not to do to their kids. We loved our son’s curly hair and it made him appear littler than 2. His stepgrandma wrote to me, saying Get over it, get a live and youre in my state now. My husband wrote her two emails while I sobbed in the bathroom, wanting them to like me. He told her never to talk to us again.

His stepgrandma thought I had written the…

A little about myself. My husband and I have been married for 10 years. The first six years was just myself, husband and my 15 year old and my 14 year old(from a previous marriage). My mother in law then was a very selfish person and Rude! Now that we have had two other children (now 4 and 3) Seems like she has got worse! To make a long story short, this woman lives 3 miles away from my home. When birthdays come around she only acknowledge my husband and our two young children (that we have together) She brings over b-day cards and cake and presents for him and my young children. When my b-day comes around or my other children (from a previous marriage) she doesn’t even acknowledge us! For Christmas one year she had came over (we were not home at the time) and left a bag…

my husband and I were married a little over three years ago – when we started dating and her brought me home to baltimore (we were living in NYC) his MIL still had two pics framed from his first wedding (one of her and my husband and one of her and her other son) – my husband asked her to take them down saying he didn’t think it was cool to have them up with me there

we had a photographer for the ceremony and i just bought little table cameras for the reception so people could play with those because we really just wanted professional pictures of the ceremony and i wanted people to be able to document the reception for themselves – well we went to visit the in-laws six months after the wedding and my MIL got drunk and told me how “complicated” my wedding was and how…

 

Wow! I’m loving this site already : )
I divorced my ex husband several months ago only, but we’ve been separated for almost 5 years now.
His mother is the Devil himself!!
From day one, she has done nothing but criticize and complain about how I’ve chosen to raise my 7 year old son.
I actually thought we were pretty close in the beginning but slowly things progressed to a much worst nature.
To this day she tries to impose customs in my child that I don’t agree with.
Here’s the catch though; she does this in a very manipulating way and to always comes out looking like the victim should things go wrong.
She has an obsession with my child and tries to impose her views, simply because she’s older and has already been down that road. Things will work out the way they’re supposed to in my son’s life

Ok … there’s more but for now, I just needed…

She’s driving me crazy

My fiance and I have been having problems do to his mother. She is the most evil women I have ever met. She is constantly mean to my children because they are not her son’s. She will even go as far as buying his children things right in front of mine and not offer them a thing. She refers to my kids as “those kids”. She doesn’t even call them by their names. She constantly down grades me- telling me I will never be good enough for her son. My fiance of course swears his mother wouldn’t do that and always takes her side over mine. To top it all off, she invited his ex over for our family dinner and said her son and his ex needed some alone time together so that he would get his head straight and leave me. Of course he stood up for me when…

I’m not sure what to do my mil always throws my husband’s ex in my face and tells me that she is going to make sure he leaves me and goes back to her. My husband swears he loves me and would never go back to her but I just cant handle the stress from his mother anymore. What should I do?

so here’s my question… how do you handle the situation when your MIL makes comments to you like “i’ll find a better woman for my husband and those kids…” when you thought you were on good terms and pretty close with one another and other than that you are a wonderful mother and wife?
