My mother in law and I got along great until the day we got engaged. She was cold and distant from then on. All she talks about is his ex wife and his whole family still has her over. She cheated on my husband and is now married to the man she cheated with. His family treats her new husband like their own son!! My mother in law tells his ex wife everything that is going on and the ex wife tries to use it to get more money. My mother in law and I don’t have a relationship anymore because I’m so sick of how she treats us. She never put out our wedding pictures but put out more of his ex and himself in happier times!! She makes it a point to bring up the ex everyday and would rather spend time with her than us. The ex wife is mean and greedy and tries to guilt my husband to give more money for the kids than need be. I finally had enough and told off my mother in law because she is just a mean, angry old bag!! She just likes to start trouble and claims she was ‘just trying to help.’ I want nothing more to do with his family.

Wow. I can’t believe a mother would treat her own son that way. I’m sorry. Your husband must be terribly hurt that his mother has betrayed his loyalty. Not only did his ex wife cheat on him, his own mother chooses to take her side. She is a hateful old bag. I would cut her off and do your best to heal your hubs. I’m so sorry you’re in this situation.

This is simular to my story only my Father in Law and his 2nd wife treat me this way. They prefer her to me. Whatever. His own sons and grandchildren will have nothing to do with him so I guess it’s good he has the ex daughter in law. You are better off without her. No one needs to be put second. You are his wife, you deserve her loyalty for no other reason than that!

I lived with that too, being subjected to what a “wonderful person” so and so was… don’t think there is any cure for terminal rudeness… while it’s understandable for her to have her own feelings, to demonstrate them to you is unfair. Until she can grow up and learn how to act, I say she should have an extended “time out” of your life as well as her sons… btw, question, does he support you in this???
