Today my husband and I took my younger sister and her 4 month old daughter to my MIL and FIL’s house so that they could finally meet the baby!! They have a dog, about a year old and he isn’t small. Well, the baby was sitting in her carseat on the floor and my MIL was meeting her and all of a sudden their dog (who is on a leash by the way, which is being held by my FIL) comes up to her, sniffs her and then starts growling and showing his teeth. I see my FIL just standing there like an idiot, so I decide to take action and discipline the dog by which I grabbed him and pulled him back away from her and disciplined him with words, like they had asked me too and told him no, that she was a baby and that it was…

My MIL has always been a dominating witch! She tries to tell us what to do with our lives, money and children. When we ask her to but out she just says, “I’m just trying to help.”

Now her Father has become ill, which we were willing to help. We were never asked, it was assumed we would help. MIL went on a two week vacation and expected us to take care of him. He needs to be changed, bathed, fed and put to bed. We had no idea he had become so bad, but she knew. While she was on vacation, he became very ill. I had asked for his medical info, before she left. Of course it was a inconvenience for her to find it, so it was not available.

When she finally came home, she asked if we could watch him that night so she could go out. Everyday…

My DH and I have been together 8 years, 3 of those years we have been married.When we first started dating, I had a 9 month old daughter form my previous relationship. I have literally bent over backwards to prove to my DH’s family that I want to be with him. We had been together about 3 months when his younger sister brought over old home movies for us to watch, unfortunately these old movies consisted of My DH and his ex GF making out in all of them. The same ex GF that lives with this sister, that had called my DH a few weeks before and tried to get him to get back together with her, while I was pregnant. The whole family refused to tell her I was pregnant because they did not want to hurt her. Then the sister tells me I am a big baby…

DH and I were abused by his parents for several years, whilst we tried to cut them out of our lives: we finally had to leave the country to escape them. Because MIL and FIL refused to have DH in their ‘family’ unless he ended OUR relationship, he has not been part of his ‘family’ for several years. The innocent people (siblings/aunts/cousins/grandparents) have all been told crazy lies about us, and have witnessed MIL and FILs pathetic act, so we are both seen as cruel and selfish, while MIL and FIL are the ‘poor abandoned parents’.
Despite several nasty comments we got from these misguided relatives, we also got several messages showing that they still love and care for DH, but we were in no position to try to reconnect with them, because they firmly believe MIL and FIL’s twisted lies about us, so it wouldn’t have worked.

Now we are safe…

I know this is about MIL’s but I have a major father in law issue too. My husband and I got married last may(09). He and his family are very strong christians. I never grew up in a religous household.  To put a long story in a nut shell, the reception they had for us was the 2nd worst day of my life after my dad dying when I was a little girl. The whole dinner was about my husband.  Everyone wanted pix with just him, his family sang a song just about him, his parents flipped out because I just wanted it to be us at the head table. And to make things worse, all our gifts and cards were addressed to him. His girl cousins mocked me. And then his parents, specifically his dad said that I’m disrespectful to their family and walk all over everyones feet.  Bottom…

Hubby and I met when we were young, but his crazy, alcoholic parents quickly made it clear that (for some reason) he could either have me or them … he refused to choose, so they threw him out, and we had years of harassment and crazy, out-of-this-world behaviour from them … we FINALLY managed to move away, and now we are safe (veeery far away, and we now know our legal rights), but we would like to send Christmas/birthday cards to relatives (it was only hubby’s parents who abused us) .. especially his two sisters who are heartbroken about losing him, and his lovely aunts … we’re not sure whether this is a good idea? I don’t see it is bad, as it shows them what we want to show – we remember them/care for them/didn’t want to lose them/etc .. do you all think it’s OK? We won’t give…
