We have lived with MIL for almost 2 years. Everything was fine and great until it all started about 6 months ago. MIL and I were actually close at one point and I talked to her about everything. Slowly but surely she stopped speaking to me. I see her a lot and she doesnt speak. Anyway she started acting mean and hateful towards me. I was sick in bed for 2 weeks and she never cared to ask what was wrong with me or if I was alright. I even had to go to the ER. My mom works with her and they have been on good terms for about 20 years, friends you could say. Momma walked in on her and heard her talking bad about me and my fiance. She even walked in on her recently and overheard her making fun of her. Mother confronted her and now MIL wont speak to her either. When we got engaged my fiance told her about it and she never replied. Never asked a question about it or wanted to see the ring. Then she didnt speak to us for a month. My fiance would say I love you momma, he would say it 10 times and she would say ok finally. The thing that I am very upset about is went up and told her we had set a date. She never said a work, fiance said well dont you wanna know when? Still no reply, so he shouted its dec 13 of this year. Still nothing, he yelled again and said well cant you say congratulations or that we are stupid or anything. MIL says I dont have anything to say. Then she finally said THATS NOT GOOD, THATS JUST NOT GOOD! She said it in the evilest tone ever. Now she isnt speaking to me again, shes speaking to him now though. Im about to blow up and tell her off, its too hard to hold this in. Whenever we leave she comes in our bedroom and snoops around, I know because things have been moved. One day I acted like I was leaving and came back and caught her doing it. She has even gone so far as of getting nosey into my bills. Shes always saying everything that we do is wrong. I am ready to knock her out. What would you guys do, anyone ever had this issue ? We dont have the money to move out yet. I joined the Navy and she tried her best to get me to sign on active duty for weeks so that I wouldnt come back home Im sure. Help!

No matter how much it costs, get out - now. A JP wedding would be better than living under her roof for another moment.
Can you guys live with another family member? Your MIL sounds like a wicked hag. There had got to be some place you can afford, even if you had to live in a trailer it would be better than this, right? Start checking the want ads!
And if you can’t move out…Get a doorknob with a key.
Like for the front door type of thing, They’re pretty easy to install. Hubby can do it in 15 minutes if you can not. Then each of you take a key…do not give her one and lock her happy ass OUT of your personal lives.
Just so you know what she did was against the law. A landlord (and that’s what she is as you live in her house) cannot enter a tenant’s living area without first giving 30 days written notice. You can take her to court for it.
