Cutting off contact with MIL

I need to know if anyone has cut off their MIL. She has recently started getting much worse with my daugher. She was jealous from the begining that I had a girl, she has two boys. My first was a son and even though she was horrible to me, she was very good to my son. When my daughter was born…she bought all blue things (my daughter was a month old) and kept telling me I was supossed to have a boy. She always said she just didn’t bond with her. She would take her shopping, at age 5 and comment on her weight (she is a perfect weight) then would comment on what are lower fat foods. We had to ban the shopping trips since my DD would come home and cry every time. She would buy 8 things for my son and one thing for my daughter and…

I truly have the MIL from HELL. DH and I have been together for 7 1/2 years and married for 5. We have two boys-one is 4 1/2 and the other is 15 months old. DH has two older sisters and a younger brother. My MIL has always been very opinionated, manipulative, selfish-the type who sees her DILs as “competition”-in other words, she cannot handle any other woman being a part of her sons’ lives. (My BIL’s wife deals with a lot of the same stuff I do.) MIL has a lot of health problems. She is about 5 feet tall, and weighs about 400 pounds, and is confined to a hospital bed in the middle of her living room. She has emphysema, her knees are shot, her kidneys are barely functioning, she can’t sit up, let alone stand up or walk, and she pretty much just runs the show…

I have known my hubby for years (25) we became a couple about 5 years ago. His mother lives with us. They argue constantly. With me being the b–ch, or the whore or the thing She is always saying that she is going to get him for abuse when she is the name caller and even throws thing at him
She took a swing at me and i just blocked it. She did a belly hit to him which jerked him back and then forward so that there foreheads hit and she had 2 black eyes. She thinks she knows everything and has done everything She fuels all arguements to keep herself amused and then states she did not do it She hurts everyone!!

This is my first time posting, I hope you guys can help me, its defently a MIL Hell situation!

Currently.. I am at wits end.. breaking point, and I just don’t know where to turn next.
My future MIL to be has made my life hell for the last 2 years. I am originally from Canada, and future husband is from Scotland. I made the move over a year ago to be with him and im starting to regret my decision more than anything, especially now we just bought a house..and theres no turning back..
Ever since I moved over she made remarks constantly, mainly I think because while I lived in Canada her son came over and we were planning to get married there. BUT! His mother did not want that, she rufused to be there and demanded that this wedding didn’t happen.

Me being stupid, i let it be, we made plans,…

Let me start off by saying that we went through a custody case for my stepdaughter that cost close to $90,000 dollars after all was said and done. We started custody proceedings when in 1992 and was awarded custody in 1993. My mother-in-law has always treated this grandchild different from the other grandchildren. It is very obvious to everyone. My husband just sat back and watched all these years and does not say a word. My stepdaughter at (16 years old was so out of control that no one could control her). So my mother-in-law steps in…….and says she will take her in……Well needless to say my stepdaughter ran up the $2,000 cell phone bill (for one month), she stole hundreds of dollars from my in-laws drawers and she eventually ran away. My mother in-law- was in such denial that when it happened to her she was devastated. I thought…

I am going to start from the beginning my father-in-law past way 13 years ago. My mother-in-law never remarried. She has 4 kids ages now 23,22,20,and 14. When my-father-in-law past way, she was given the insurance money totally up or over 80,000 dollars plus she was receiving Social Security benefits for her self and 4 kids. I have known that she had put most of that money in stocks and bonds and she has this in Mexico. I also learned that my father-in-law has another son of 25yrs old here. And the reason my mother-in-law buried my father-in-law in Mexico is because she did not want to give the ex any money for his other son. Ok with that said after all of this my-mother-in-law dedicated her self to work day and night. (wondering about the kids) ok well all the kids had either a aunt or cousin take care of…

Wacked out MIL

She Said/Did WHAT???No Comments

I find this website so liberating! =) Finally a place where I can share just how wacked out my MIL is. Ok, here is another story about my MIL. First off she is a very orderly, cold type person. She rarely hugs her kids and just has this very stern coldness about her. She acts like she is high class but really she is very insecure. She is a straight up snob. She is also very impressed with people that have money. You could be the biggest ***hole alive but if you got a really nice house, car and clothes, your a winner in her eyes.

When my husband was a teenager his parents got divorced. I don’t blame my MIL cuss my FIL is a jerk and was a cheater. After the divorce she went shopping for a new husband. She was a single mother of 4 kids and was…
