Mother-in-law Hell

Supermom,

I laughed out loud when I read what you posted!!! I have been married for 12 1/2 years and I have always tried to be respectful and polite to my in-laws (both of whom are manipulative!). Any issues that I have had with them, I have always gone to my husband about and he has handled it. This ONE time (this happened last Friday) I asked my mother-in-law politely, with MY parents as witnesses (my husband is the t-ball coach, so he did not hear any of the conversation), not to pay my 4-year old son $4.00 for each homerun he makes. After that, she and her husband (my husband’s step-father, who immediately took her side even though he wasn’t there for the conversation either) came to our house and proceeded to say that I was NOT polite and that I said it in a hateful manner! What crap! I have never spoken to them hatefully and this instance was no different! She just didn’t like the fact that I was asking her not to do something. She’s a QUEEN BEE and that type of stuff just doesn’t suit her! As I was defending myself against these accusations from both my in-laws, in my own house, she went as far as to look at my husband and say “If you don’t shut her up, I’m going to.” OMG!!! My husband heard her say it…I heard her say it…but in recent conversations that she has had with my husband and my mother (oh yeah, she called my mom behind my back to “tattle” on me), she has repeatedly denied that she said it! Unbelieveable! My husband has stood up for me, and told her that she owes me an apology for calling me a liar and telling my husband to put me in my place in my own house! The ball is in her court, so we’ll see what happens. I’ve never heard her take any responsibility for anything before and say “I’m sorry” (that’s always the other person’s job, usually my husband or her husband) so if she does it’ll be a first! We’ll see!

OMG. be afraid, I am telling you, MY mil is the devil I have know it for over14 years, it has caused at least 95% of the fights in our house, My husband is finally aware of it, me being the person I am never kept my son from her, I am not a hateful person and can not believe that there can be people so very evil in this world, but there is, my son is now 12 years old and my stepdaughter whom I have always had a relationship with are so brainwashed by this woman it is crazy, she is the biggest liar I have ever met, but if I try to explain to the kids the lie she has told, they always defend her with the oh it was an accident, or she forgot, it is never a lie, I dont beleive my kids cant figure this woman out, she has turned it all on me making me the bad guy to my children my life is a living hell because of this woman, just keep your kids close, these evil people will go to no end to control an have power over the family unit, the only pleasure I can get from all of this is that I know there is a seat reserved for this woman in hell, I dont believe any of her lies or tricks will keep her from this one. any one whom shares the same experiences as me I would love to hear from you. I found a quote I would love to share, ” when the power of love overcomes the love of power, will this world be at peace” Jimi Hendrix wrote this. peace Suzanne
