Mother-in-law Hell

SO here we go! this is going to be mighty long,…to start off. my husband son and I Move to Texas to like with his parents for what we thought a few months while we got settled (Husband found a better paying job) well they had just bought a house on 2 acres and the house was a complete DUMP! and I’m not exaggerating! holes in the roof floor walls everything with major rott! well my husband “Trying to be nice” says that we will fix it up and live in it and pay them a small rent! because it wasn’t worth no 600 or 700 bucks a month BY NO MEANS! well we all get started busting butt and working on the house day in and day out! until late at night! and this goes on for a good 6 months we get all the add-ons that where previously add-on taken down and then rebuilt it bigger and better and redone the bathrooms and bought all the shower sinks and all the lumber My husband paid for all of this out of his pocket! never once did we hear a thank you from his mother,..well the heat was on because we are all stressed from the work at the house! that when we come home the crap would just hit the fan FOR NO REASON! one day my husband an I where having our own argument AWAY from everyone kids parents ETC…….AND SHE COMES IN AND INTERRUPTS US AND TELLS ME SHE DON’T EVER WANT TO HEAR THAT LANGUAGE IN HER HOUSE AND IF I AM GOING TO TALK LIKE THAT THEN I’M TO PACK MY STUFF AND LEAVE! I’m dumbfounded by this so I am Furious already because DH and I where already in a pretty heated argument and then she has the nerve to come in and start shit! so we have our spat and I grab my kid and leave. I took him to the park and we sat there a good 4 hours just playing I didn’t want to go back so. I did and I apologized And told her I was sorry for blowing up and told her she had no right interrupting and she agreed! sooo! we go back to a normal day to day life! and we are still working on the DUMP of a house everyday day in and day OUT! and NEVER EVER DID SHE EVER Ask if we needed a baby sitter! she worked a few hours a week and then would come home and hideout in her room while we where WORKING AND SINKING MONEY INTO HER HOUSE!!!! so one day my husband asks if she could watch Brett (our son) and she goes No I’m Tired and I need to go to bed! BOOYYY! that set him off ! but he kept his mouth shut! so we go on bretts in the old house with us that dates back to the 1900’s FYI! and its a week after he 2nd birthday so I take him to have all of his shots and stuff and they did a lead test on him! and SURE ENOUGH HE HAD AN OUTRAGEOUS NUMBER!! I think it was a 16 an the norm is 3? something like that! omg! this freaks me out ya know because ITS from that damn house we where working on! and because my idiot MIL wouldn’t watch him! so I get back to the house and I’m all in a panic thinking something bad is going to happen to my baby! but everything is okay and he’s still okay his numbers are low now! But I tell my MIL and she was like Oh hmm How’d that happen! OMFG! are you serious! playing dumb with me doesn’t FLY! I went off on her ! not saying it was her fault! but because she was acting like a complete idiot as if she didn’t know where the hell he would have gotten lead poisoning!? We have our MONTHLY SPAT! and we go on! well I have quit helping DH work on the house so I can keep our son away from the LEAD! well its on the weekend now and my DH needs help putting on the roof! because NO ONE ELSE WOULD HELP! so here I am sitting at MIL house while my DH is trying to roof a huge house by himself (tin) Pretty MUCH IMPOSSIBLE! so I ask her if she could watch him while I go over and help “P” for a bit! and I’ll be damned IF she didn’t say Well can you not take him with you! OMG! I WAS READY TO KNOCK HER LIGHTS OUT AT THIS POINT! she cant tell I’m fuming by this point! so she goes fine I will watch him but make sure your back by 5:30 Okay fine whatever! I help we get the roof almost finished AND A CAR PULLS UP AND ITS MY MIL!!!!!!!! WITH MY CHILD! WHO ALREADY HAS LEAD POISIONING FROM THIS HOUSE!!!! and she was like I have to run to town will you take him !! omg! so I take him I let it slide!! even though deep inside I’m boiling with anger!,……………..SOOOOO a few months later is January! and its freezing but we are finally sheet rocking the house (WHICH WE paid FOR EVERYTHING NEVER ONCE DID THEY SHELL OUT A DIME FOR THEIR HOUSE WE ARE WORKING ON,..WE BOUGHT ALL APPLIANCE AND STUFF TO ALREADY AND PAINT AND SHEETROCK AND OUR HARD WOOD FLOORS) WELL I call the gas company to see if they can come out and inspect to see if we have any gas leaks and what not and make sure we could even get a meter there and all that good stuff but since the house wasn’t in my name and it never had a meter my MIL had to be the one to call. well she Pretty much refused! because she said that there wasn’t any insurance on the house and DH AND I NEVER FREAKING KNEW THIS OR WE WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN USING PROPANE HEATERS IN THE HOUSE TO DRY SHEET ROCK MUD! FYI! We are in shock!! and then she starts in saying that if there’s no insurance on it there’s no way in hell we could have gas heat!
Okay well we tried to explain to her the only thing we would get is renters insurance! BECAUSE 1ST OF ALL WE DON’T OWN IT! 2ND OF ITS IN HER NAME SO THAT’S HER RESPONSIBILITY!,…so we are all furious at this time so my FIL! comes into this picture because he starts in on DH! and DH has had enough of the BS its been going on for a year! well we try and resolve it! doesn’t happen! DH calls me from work one day (DH AND FIL WORKED for the same company but not together) and says pack our shit we are leaving? I’m like WHAT? he said call your mother we are going to have to stay at her house for the time being until I get a job! we pack our shit and leave! DH TELLS ME THAT HIS DAD CAME TO WORK AND BLEW UP ON HIM OVER THAT STUPID HOUSE! SO HE SAID IT WAS THE LAST STRAW! SO WE MOVED TO OKLAHOMA! He got a job we got an apartment Which WAS THE BEST THING EVER! had liked a year with MIL! then he got an even better job so we bought a house! well we are gone a good 2 months! MIL calls DH and tells him he better come get his stuff out of there storage ! (we didn’t have a truck to move so we had to leave our previous furniture and stuff there) she sets up a date we rent a 300 dollar U-Haul! we get there to get our stuff! (They had a huge fight over the money situation because we put a good 14,000 into there house! so DH wanted to be reimburse! psssh yah like that would happen! I get out! and she tries to come up to me and talk I’m pissed still because its all her fault! so I tell her not to say a word and walk away! end of story! we start loading all of our stuff up and she’s WATCHING US LIKE A HAWK!! SITTING IN A CHAIR GUARDING HER STUFF LIKE WE ARE GOING TO STEAL IT! SERIOUSLY WE AREN’T THAT KIND OF PPL!!! well we get all of our previous furniture! loaded! well my DH goes to grab OUR DISHWASHER! to load it up! and she comes running over screaming at him to put it down ! DH is like NO its mine she said NO IT GOES WITH THIS HOUSE ITS STAYING OMG! this sets me off! we are already 14,000 in debt to them with nothing to show for it no WAY IN hell am I going to let her tell us what is ours and what’s not!! so I get pissed and am yelling and screaming and ranting and raving! and I’ll be BY GOD IF SHE DIDN’T SLAP ME! AND BOY THE FIGHT WAS ON THEN! I punched good 4 times in the head before it was broke up! I leave I’m pissed! well I GET A PHONE CALL FROM THE COPPPPPPPPPS!!!!!!!!! he tells me to come back (real nice guy) I come back he ask me what happened I tell him and tell him she hit me first and it was self defense yeah self defense only if you hit once I know! but I was living in the moment!! and she admitted to hitting me 1st! ha-ha on her part! for calling the cops on her self! well then she was acting like she was hurt REALLLLLLLLLLLBAD so they BRING AN AMBULANCE! seriously wasn’t necessary! but anyways !!! that’s my MIL! horror story! DH hasn’t talked to them since I feel terrible but it was her fault for acting like a crazy mad women! and is money hungry ! everything in her life revolves around whose money she’s taking next! ITS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND NEVER ONCE HAVE THEY CALLED TO CHECK ON THERE GRANDCHILD!! drives me nuts! and I’m still not ready to forgive her! It eats at me on a daily basis I’m glad I found this website! because I just cant deal ! anymore! DH thought I would need counseling ! because I SERIOUSLY lose sleep over how that crazy b*tch treated me! she treated me like trash! would talk shit to my SIL -DH twin brother wife and “S” an I are pretty close so she would tell me everything she said I would have to LIVE WITH HER!! and try and keep my mouth shut which is pretty impossible! and then she would talk about the SIL! and expect me not to say anything YEAH FREAKING! RIGHT!
