Mother-in-Law HELL

My husband and I decided not to contact his family (please read my previous story titled Deployment Neglect) at all while he is away on deployment in Afghanistan. He recently got promoted, and I don’t post that kind of stuff on Facebook… I talked to my husband earlier who said ‘I was going to call today just to say hi…but I decided against it. I don’t want to deal with the inevitable aggravation.” His Dad just posted on Facebook how proud they are of my husband’s promotion, and how great it was to hear from him. Hubby called. After we agreed not to have any contact with them…which is mostly because of the stress it always causes him. Any suggestions on how to handle this next time he calls???

My husband has 3 “perfect Christian” sisters. He comes from a family who is all about Jesus- which is wonderful. It’s something I really admire about him. It would be even more wonderful if his family were Christian on the inside as well as on the outside. They are the kind of family who goes out of their way to look like the perfect family. On the outside, they look united, friendly and happy. On the inside they are nasty, and twisted. MIL and FIL have a crazy relationship, he brings his stress from work home, and she’s got his balls wrapped around her finger. Nobody is allowed to have an opinion other than MIL’s opinion. Nobody ever questions her or tells her she’s wrong.

Hubby has always sort of been the black sheep of the family. They have always mistreated him and searched for reasons to be disappointed in him.…

Hi I am new here and I am glad I found this place!!

My husband and I got married in 2006 in August he had begun his enlistment in the Navy that January. When our plans were announced his mother who was always sweet and spending time with me suddenly turned cold and would never talk to me and act so peculiar to me. I confronted her and said although his older brother just got divorced that February its not my husband and I were different people. She then helped me plan the wedding at my request and she was actually pleasant and I am pretty laid back about the wedding cuz the reason is to be his wife and thats enough for me! Well she told me I should probably take my lip piercings out I was offended some how to avoid conflict etc I took then out FIRST mistake…

My hubby and I didn’t have a full blown wedding. We invited our immediate family-parents & siblings- (no grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins..etc) and VERY close family friends. We plan to have a party celebrating our marriage at a later date for everyone to come to… We chose not to wait to get married for a number of reasons- a very important reason was DEPLOYMENT! He was leaving for Afghanistan.
I digress.

We invited everybody via text message since we planned the whole thing in like 2 weeks. (We got engaged 5 months before we actually got married, so it wasn’t a secret that we were eventually going to get married…They did not congratulate us, in fact, they flipped out on him)His family decided that they were too good to be invited by a text message and wanted a personal formal invitation, but we didn’t give it to them. We actually planned the whole…

So my husband is in the Army… and we are currently living in the south however I am moving back up north soon because I am pregnant and want to have the baby in my hometown. We recently got to go home for a long weekend where my parents had a HUGE family BBQ in honor of our being home. My husband’s parents came down. His mother basically held him hostage in the house from the moment she got there until everyone had left. Even I spent NO time with him. This was officially my last straw. She feeds this BS to him all the time about how I m an awful person because I am trying to cut her out of his life. When he graduated from BCT we were on our way back to the airport (just her and I because he immediately got stationed elsewhere) and she…

My husband and I married three and a half months ago right before my husband left for a deployment to Iraq. I knew his mother was a little crazy before he left, but now I’m starting to find out how weird she really is. My husband and I had a joint account for months before we married, since he closed his own account (one he had with his mother since high school) and moved over to mine. He transferred all his income and direct deposits to the account and that’s the only account either of us pulled from.

Recently I have begun to receive bank statements at our new home (we only lived here a month after we married before he left the country) that were in his name. So, obviously, I opened them, especially curious because I didn’t recognize the bank as one he dealt with. When I opened it,…
