Mother-in-Law HELL

My MIL lives out of town and we see her only a few times a year. When we do however, she seems to be able to put some little dig in (at me, towards me, etc.). I know that women read into things more than men, but we are just more in-tuned to what other women are actually getting at (I think personally). I’ve been trying very hard to just let her comments go, but this past Christmas she solidified what I’ve been feeling all along. I am apparently not the “good” DIL and I “pick on her baby” and or “get whatever I want”, etc. etc. I wish I had found this site sooner so I could give more examples, but this one in particular was while talking in a group with the MIL, my husband, myself and kids (teenagers) about names given to different things in different states,…

So..basically I got married to my husband when I was 16. We lived with his dominating mother basically almost through out our whole marriage. Well we ended up getting a divorce 2 years ago. Theres been SO much drama between his mother and I, it will take all day to type..seriously.. So today I got a visit from a social worker. This social and I are well aqainted from the past from reports from my ex’s mother..This time another false allegation my ex husband mother made. Apparently my son (2 years old) took a bath with my daughter (1 years old) and apparently he was trying to have anal sex with her!!! SERIOUSLY WTF! My social worker is to her witts end with these calls from her that we are DONE! I called my ex husband and he said he JUST found out. Social case worker paid him a visit…

I was with my now ex for 5 yrs. We got a house together and then he asked his mother to live with us that was the downfall for our relationship because I knew she would never leave. 4yrs into our relationship we got engaged shortly after we found out we were expecting. From the day we told my ex’s mother she was completely overbearing…she bought me underwear that was 5x to big because as she said my butt was getting really big. She then told me she was going to teach our new arrival all bad behavior that way I would go crazy. My ex told me she was talking bad about me after the baby shower as well as after I asked her to remove propane tanks she had stored INSIDE the house. When we told her we were thinking of buying a bigger home for future children…

My ex-husband and I ended our marriage after 12 years. It was rough at first, but now we are pretty amicable. Of course her son did no wrong in causing the divorce according to her. I got tired of his repeated credit card addiction… then finally internet porn! Of course the mother-in-law says that his porn addiction was normal! The credit card addiction was my fault too, according to her. She has enabled him throughout his life, and he was looking for that in a wife.

Even though it has been five years ago, she makes ugly comments to my children about me. She still goes on and on about how my ex-husband can do better than me etc. He doesn’t confront her because he is financially dependent on her. Any suggestions?

My husband and I have been together for 9 years – married for 4 months. I have always considered myself to have an excellent relationship with his family and his mother. I always thought his mother was one of the sweetest people I have met…well…

The background for the story starts 3 years ago at Christmas time. My husbands family was invited to my husbands brothers house for Christmas dinner. His brothers wife’s family was also invited. My family was not. We asked if they could be invited and after much trouble…they were. It was an awesome Christmas – all 3 families were together! We did it again the next year…again with a little trouble (my family was left out again)..but it was great!

This year my husbands mother called having Christmas at her house in September. I would love to host Christmas but she called it very early. We just found…

My husband and I met when we were 17 and I met his family who were lovely. They kept inviting me for lunch and nights-out: his mum and I really hit it off. After a month, I was invited to a family party, where his parents got drunk, and turned on us. They were really vulgar and frightening, and we were just sitting watching TV with DH’s little cousins. We tried to ignore them, but they kept on. Eventually I was crying uncontrollably, and DH’s relatives had to intervene to calm down his parents. The next day, he approached them about how they had behaved, and they denied it and told him we needed to ‘get a sense of humour’, and that I wasn’t welcome in their house anymore!

Everything went downhill from there. Because we couldn’t be together at DH’s house, he came to my house to see me, and…
