It sounds like this is the place for me right now. I need some mother in law advise. I have known my current fiancé for about three years now. We were really good friends for two years before we got together. After we started dating it was not long before both of us knew we were meant to be together and started talking about marriage. I love him with all my heart. There is no doubt that he is the one I am meant to be with, but we have a REALLY big problem. His mother. I have only ever met the woman once, I have never felt so out of place in my life. I have a daughter from a previous marriage and my daughter was trying to play with her niece that she had over that was the same age. She ignored my daughter like she was not even there. Ellie asked for a snack when the other little girl got a snack and she didn’t even look at her. You should have seen how sad it made her. UNREAL. A few months later I got pregnant. OMG… there are no words. She called and left nasty messages telling me that I would never see a dime from her family and that I was with her son for the money. (My fiancé is a mechanic….. YA not in it for the money or I would have found a doctor or lawyer) I was so stressed out about her negativity that I ended up miscarrying my pregnancy. I blame her 100%. I swear if it had not been for her that pregnancy would have lasted!! How am I supposed to make this work? My fiancé will not even talk to his mother because of the mean things she has said to me. HELP!!!!

Oh sweetie…I am greatly sorry for your loss.
That being said…RUN! If he will not even talk to his mother about the way she has treated you, you have yourself a Mama’s boy.
To treat a child that way when they have done nothing to deserve it is wrong. I may not want children but I love other peoples kids.
Oh he has talked to his mom about it, he even called the cops on her once for it. He wont speak to her now because of what she did! I dont want to run, I want her to pull her head out!!
Oh My mistake I misread that.
It’s still a damned shame she will not accept your daughter.
If he’s not talking to her, then what is the problem? If he is cutting the tie then cut it with him. Your daughter doesn’t need a grandma like that. I learned a long time ago to get rid of the people in your life that bring you down and surround yourself with the people who bring you up, regardless of whether or not you share the same blood line.
Good luck!
I agree with Fed Up. If your FMIL is this vindictive, it’s best to cut the ties now. Don’t allow yourself to feel bad because she does not like you. This type of person (the kind that’s mean to kids) is pure evil. No matter what you do, she will never like you. Pretend she is dead. Good Luck!
Keep the guy, dump the MIL. AS long as he is not speaking to her, all is well.
