Mother-in-Law HELL

I think my mother in law tops them all! I think she is truly insane!! Her son and I have been together for about three years, and married for one year. From the first day I met this lady, she told me she loved me and that I was so pretty and bla bla bla. She would tell me this every time I seen her, trust me, its annoying and creepy to be constantly adored when you first meet someone. She does not do it as much, but in the beginning it was non stop. Well first off, she steals, any and everything she can she will steal. One time, my husband cashed his paycheck, put all of it in his wallet. Went to his parents house to visit, he put his wallet on the coffee table and fell asleep on the couch.  When he woke up, his mother sent…

My fiance and I have been together for a little over 15 years and have been engaged since May 2009. We grew up in CA and have a 8 year old son together. Due 2 some difficult times, after our son was about 1, we were forced to move back in with my fiance’s mother (who wasn’t evil at the time). A year later we decided to move to Chicago to be closer to his sister (who also wasn’t evil at the time). We bought a house there and oddly, his sister who was oh so happy there decided she wanted to go back to Malibu. We felt completely set up! Now we had a new house and 2 year old son and NO family! The sister ended up moving back in with his and her mother after we just moved out and clearly has no intentions with moving out.

Anyways,…

My mil is so annoying with my child! She will text dh during the day saying she will be up and will come at half past 6 when he only gets in from work at quarter past! She will then expect to have my child all evening and complaining if she wants to be fed because shes missing out! Baby has a routine of bath at half  past 7 and bed at 8 and she will leave as the baby goes in to bed! While shes here she is very rude, trys to comment on everything and even tells her son to be careful how he holds the baby! My dh also misses out on our daughter as he leaves at half past 6 in the morning and I think everyday is precious! She wont come up at weekends either and is now annoyed because each day she decides to…

Help! 16+ yrs in this family. German MIL is all of the above in the titled description. She lives 2 hrs. away. She is (White) German with (3) bi-racial sons, by (3) different men. The youngest son’s father ended up marrying her. All (3) son’s married (white) German. My husband married me (Black). Oldest son was dis-owed by my MIL when he was an infant.

Recently, father-in-law passed away. I took time off from work, school, etc. to help her care for him in his dying days (cancer). He had all of his post-death legal issues prepared (including his own obituary).

On the day of his death, MIL edits & changes his pre-written obituary. The obituary lists all the titles and names of all of his survived including: wife, two grown sons, all (5) grandchildren. MIL decides last minute to include her sister who still lives in Germany, and has never been…

My boyfriend and I dated for 2 years, purchased a house together, and he’s been helping to raise my 4 year old daughter. His family (mother, father, sister) have never liked me, and are not what we’d call “warm” people. (Luckily they lived 4 hours away.) They have an extreme negative view on life, enjoy tearing those around them down, and make it a point to use ever lull in a conversation to slight me or whoever they can. Worst of all, his mother is a control freak who tries to manipulate and baby him. We’ve had many, many fights over the last year, almost all of them regarding his family, where I was told I “misunderstood” them, and that I should apologize, etc. I recently moved out and have been living apart for two months, and although I miss him, it’s been absolutely wonderful not having to deal with…

This is a very difficult situation to explain, but I will try. Before my husband and I got married, we had dated for almost 3 years, and throughout that time period, he and I helped eachother stop some self-destructive habits for the better. Throughout that time, I had an amazing relationship with his family. They always wanted to see me, and even let me spend the night at their home for some weekends, even weeks(we were under 18 or 18 at the time). He and I got engaged earlier this year, which his parents were ecstatic about, especially his mother. But we all knew that the wedding would be put off until we were out of college and financially stable. However, in July my (then fiance) and I found out I was pregnant, although we used birth control religiously. And after suffering from sexual, physical, and verbal harassment at my…

I’m wondering if any of you wished you’d got out while you could, or if you don’t regret staying with and marrying your OH because it’s only the two of you that really matter, even if you know you’ll never be treated even respectfully by his family.
I’m in my mid 20’s living with a guy who has a very close relationship to his mother- although her behaviour is bordering on obsessive. We live on the same street as them (his choice) and even though he sees her at least once a day she greets him by holding his head in her arms and repeating things like “my beautiful boy, my handsome, wonderful love” and cries and stamps her feet whenever he leaves town. Obviously she is possessive, and so I’ve made it clear I’m not trying to take her baby boy away by agreeing to live basically next door to…
