My mother in law is psycho. She will lock her self in her room and threaten to harm herself if my fiance doesn’t talk to her once a day. She text messages him about 50 times a day with random I LOVE U’s and always ends it with love mom. We know your his mom and you don’t have to tell us this. Last night tops it all he works night shit from 8pm to 8am well he is going there on Friday (mind us this is Monday night)to go to his DR. She flipped out because we aren’t spending the night at her nasty gross house. She just saw him the sat before for my bridal shower and we went to dinner with her. She went in her room locked the door and popped some pills passed out.Her husband (his step father) then calls and lays another guilt trip on him. All in the time before he has to go to work while we are eating dinner. if he doesn’t answer the phone and talk to her she cusses him out and says he’s doesn’t love her on voicemails over and over. Once said that I was brainwashing him to not talk to her. He was riding 4wheelers with his buddies had nothing to do with me. Told him the she the only one that has ever stuck by him..(excuse me he’s lived with me for the past yr. not her) She’s making it a competition and all I got to say is I have never lost at anything in my life and she sure as hell isn’t going to win this one. I know so much stuff that she does illegally that would take her down so she needs to watch it.

Hi Ashley: Your story sounds a lot like my story and I’ve been married since 1969. She doesn’t threaten suicide anymore because all her kids have finally seen through her. When they were children, she would lock herself in the bath room and tell the kids she took a whole bottle of asprin. Or she’d lock herself in the car. It was very hard being in this family. On holidays, when we were young, she’d go back to a bedroom and immediately, everyone of her kids followed and their daddy, leaving me to sit alone for hours while she “cried” and told them how bad they treated her and didn’t love her. I don’t know about your fiance, but there is a fear instilled in them from a young age and even when they finally do see through her, she’ll find other ways to be the first woman in his life. She’ll need money or help, somehow, from him. You will always be second even though he doesn’t want it that way. He can’t think for himself. I want to tell my MIL off sooo badly and my husband won’t let me, even though he can’t stand her. She is a liar, a bitch, troublemaker, evil. I will burn in hell if I don’t learn how not to hate her. It’s all about her. Even when one of her sons died in June, SHE thought the kids should surround her and feel sorry for her. This is the only son (she only has one daughter) who had actually told her what a sorry person she was and had cut the apron strings and chose his wife and was never sorry for it. She’d made a snide remark about his wife and he cut loose on her, kicked her out of his house and told her that was HIS WIFE AND DON’T YOU EVER TALK TO HER LIKE THAT AGAIN. Among other things. My husband has no balls. It’s true, the brother never got to see his daddy again because he has no balls either. You can learn to live around her or find out if your fiance has any balls. Believe me, SHE IS NOT GOING TO HURT HERSELF. AND IF SHE DOES, OH, WELL. I’m VERY VERY BITTER. I hope my MIL says something to me next time I have to see her. I really don’t care anymore if my husband gets mad. She’s milked him(behind my back) of at least 10,000.00 in the past five years. She tip toes around me. She won’t ask for anything around me. Also, she TALKS for her husband. He just sits back and lets her answer any question you ask him. It’s not a sex thing, either. She cut him off YEARS ago. I could go on forever, but you’ve got your work cut out for you. If you act jealous, he’ll get upset. (poor thing). It’s not too late to cancel the engagement. You’ll never have a normal marriage unless he stands up to her, on his own, no prompting from you. That’s like quitting smoking because someone else wants you to. He has to do it for himself and his love for you. It won’t end if he doesn’t do it on his own. I asked my husband a question once about her locking herself in the bathroom; I said, did you ever think about why she chose the bathroom? Did she show an empty bottle? Don’t you think she washed the asprin down the sink? She’s too self centered to hurt herself. Believe me. Your future MIL is a selfish bitch and your fiance enables it. It’s as bad as giving dope to an addict. He feeds off it and so does she. It’s up to him. If you want to talk some more and I haven’t offended you, I’m here. I also am on myspace. Good luck and get used to playing “second fiddle” to her because you already are. I know, because I’ve always been. We dated nearly eight years. Well, I’ll close for now. I truly wouldn’t marry him. Weddings are nice and all, but mother in laws are still there. She’ll ruin your wedding and your honeymoon. Mine did. She threw Ben’s clothes and belongings out the door. She didn’t tell the kids we were getting married and they wouldn’t come. Ben had to wait till he was 21 because though she signed for her other kids, she wouldn’t sign for him. He was the oldest. Guess she had a stronger hold on him. But she sure had a fit when she couldn’t talk him out of marrying me and he felt guilty for letting her down. And he was miserable on our wedding day and night. It was wham bam and he turned his back and went to sleep. He was so hurt and I was too but not because I was worried about upsetting her. I was hurt because she ruined our wedding and honeymoon. OK. Good luck. Sharon (caregiver03)
I wonder how mom in laws become the way they are..is it loneliness? My mom in law used to get angry if we dont come to her house, but not as bad as suicidal. But now she doesnt get as mad anymore cause I think its because of alot of reasons…I talk to her more, I let my fiance go there once per day but I dont have to, her other son is having a serious girlfriend, my wedding is coming up and she’s paying and planning…maybe because she’s busy..maybe your mom in law is just bored, and lonely. I dont know.
If you’re not happy at all, forget him, but if you have some happy times/moments, you should be strong. Do not take her words to heart cause obviously its not you, its her. Find the reason why she’s the way she is if you want to stay with your partner. Im so sorry that this happened to you and to all of us.
Had similar problems. I’m sure initial period of the marriage will have more problems than necessary because of MIL situation.
After the ‘I do’s’ it’s a good idea for new hubbie to see MOM on a periodic basis so she won’t feel she’ll never see him again. Don’t fight w/ her because mom’s and sons have bonds and fathers and sisters/do.
I know you need your ‘me’ time also when you hang out w/ your family or girlfriends - so give him those visits and let him see for himself.
Goodluck
I would consider this marriage very carefully, and definitely insist on counseling before tying the knot. I would also not rush into having children. be very careful because this will be a draining proposition that will take a good chunk of your time and life in the form of scenes from her as well as fights with hubby. It’s a recipe for disaster and you really need to consider if you want to say “I do” to a situation that will include her for a good many years, at least the ones of your youth. With counseling you can at least gauge hubby’s commitment and come up with some plan, before tying the knot and before her histrionics escalate.
The next time this nutcase locks herself in the bathroom and threatenss suicide,call the police to come and get her.It is illegal to attempt suicide and maybe getting thrown in jail for a little while will take the fun out of her doing this tro control her kids.I would rethink this marriage if I were you.Your future husband has been controlled by her shit way too long and may be too difficult to wean off of this crazy hag.
