Well, I am new to the site and am so glad I joined in. My MIL is driving me crazy. My mil spouse is away overseas for a year without me and the two little ones. We decided to take this chance to live near his family… Bad mistake, his MIL recently lost her husband and is deciding to pick on me since he went back from midtour. She is turning the whole family against me, attacking me verbally when we are alone, and then telling everyone that I was mean to her. It is refreshing to hear all the other stories of similar MIL’s but I really need some advice too. I am almost ready to pull my kids out of school and move away till he returns this summer. Comments?

Honestly if you can move away, do it. Your life will be so much easier. There’s just no dealing with some people. good luck!
Wow this is so sad and he is not there to protect you from this beast!
If you can move without tramatizing your kids you should do it. But if you cant you can ignore her, dont answer the phone, etc…In most states grandparents have NO rights if the parents are still married.
Yeah, let your hubby know you’re pulling up stakes and moving. With the stress of your loved one being overseas, you don’t need this added stress of a ditzy MIL. Loss of a spouse does not give MIL a pass on acting decently….move your children.
Why are you even allowing any alone time with the troll? Stop that. Start looking for a new place, far away. Look forward to the summer and the time you will be spending away from the nutter. If I could move away from my in-laws, you’d better believe I’d be making plans for that to happen.
I would get busy doing nice stuff for my kids. If you are out having fun and doing good things, then you will be too busy to play her nasty games. Don’t answer the phone or spend any time with her. She can just talk to herself.
I bet everybody already knows that she is full of 5HIT.
My husband was also gone for 8 months. The gossip was that I was messing around with men and that he left me. I was actually busy putting my boy through college, I was working and getting a pay raise, I scrimped and saved up enough money to pay off my husband’s big loan, and I exercised so much that I lost 20 lbs. I also bought a bunch of sexy new clothes, so my husband got quite a festive homecoming! Let your MIL say what she wants, live your life just the way you want to.
I’m guessing your husband is in the army… Contact your FRG leader and she can help you make arrangements to leave the area, contact DEERS and Tri-Care as well as let finance know where you’re going so they can determine your BAH. Let your husband know your travel plans as soon as you can and get out of your MIL’s house. Apply for post housing, unless your MIL has a military ID or a sponsor, she cannot get on post.
