Mother-in-Law HELL

My boyfriend and I have been together a little over a year. I admit, we moved fast. I got pregnant early and our baby girl is now 6 months old. My boyfriends mother came to visit and she is staying for 3 weeks. I am so heartbroken, upset, angry, nervous, depressed… anything negative to name.. I’m it. I don’t mind his mother coming to visit and I’m not saying I hate her I just am having a very, very hard time dealing with this situation.

I will try my best to describe it. I really need help. I am at the point where I feel like leaving my relationship and I desperately need advice.

I take my son to school in the morning and its about a 20 min drive to get him there since we recently moved. The school year is about over so we decided not to transfer him until…

I’m so grateful to have found this website with so many women going through the same things I am. I’m getting married soon and both of my future in laws are not happy about it at all. To this day I’ve never heard a congratulations leave my FMIL’s lips to me or my fiance. Wedding planning is going on and we have a problem. My fiance has a younger brother who lives at home does drugs and works a minimum wage job and is flunking out of community college. My FMIL threw a huge fit when my fiance did not ask him to be a groomsman (we didn’t want him representing us in the wedding). I would rather him not be in it at all, but FMIL threw a fit to have him as an usher. She exclaimed he looks “hot” in a tux…can you say incest? My fiance and…

Typically, my friends’ parents love me, so when my boyfriends mom seemed the slightest bit interested in me, it hurt, and I wasn’t sure how to handle it. My boyfriend and I have been dating since our junior year in high school, and we are so in love. But I’m not used to the awkwardness of having to deal with a mother that would rather I not exist.

He treats me like an angel and is rarely home, which makes her jealous because he always wants to be with me, rather than her. On top of that, the summer before our senior year, she kicked him out. Not by any fault of his own, but because she was angry and told him not to come back. So he didn’t. My step dad took him in and he lived with me for 8 weeks during the toughest time of his life. They…

For the first three months of our relationship my boyfriend kept my existence secret from his parents. In retrospect I think he must have known how she would react and didn’t want to unleash the floodgates. Then about 5 months ago I started to notice he would act differently after speaking to his mother. Suddenly I would find us fighting about things that I thought we had an understanding about or how our time together was spent. Once we started to talk about moving in together he talked to his mother about that too and suddenly he would have concerns about me possibly being after his money. After talking about any of these issues he would come to the conclusion everything with us was fine. He never acknowledged those concerns came from his mother but it was pretty clear to me that they were.

Once he told his mother we decided…

Have posted my stories about the horrors of FMIL and gotten great advice from you ladies. Here’s the latest: FMIL continues to want to “talk to me” but refuses to call and refuses to actually have a conversation on the phone (just one word responses and uncomfortable silences). Up till now I have not really called her directly because I have spent plenty of time with her in the past and she is the one who CLAIMS to need to speak to me…

Now she still says she needs to talk but wants to do it in person and refuses to even get on the phone. I think I’ve had about enough of this. Right now my BF is mad at her and saying that is bullsh*t but I can see him asking me to make a trip up there to see her and “talk”. No way.

I am thinking if it…

My fiance and I have been together for a little over 15 years and have been engaged since May 2009. We grew up in CA and have a 8 year old son together. Due 2 some difficult times, after our son was about 1, we were forced to move back in with my fiance’s mother (who wasn’t evil at the time). A year later we decided to move to Chicago to be closer to his sister (who also wasn’t evil at the time). We bought a house there and oddly, his sister who was oh so happy there decided she wanted to go back to Malibu. We felt completely set up! Now we had a new house and 2 year old son and NO family! The sister ended up moving back in with his and her mother after we just moved out and clearly has no intentions with moving out.

Anyways,…

My fiance and I have been together for a long time now and are getting married soon. My future mother-in-law before the engagement was great. She was kind of pushy sometimes and dramatic but not unbearable. Since the wedding planning started, it has been hell. My parents are not in the best financial state right now so my fiance’s family is paying for most of the wedding, but me and my family will pitch in when we can. Well, she is already in the wedding business. She works at a bridal boutique. My fiance and I agreed that we want something simple and basic. I want silk flowers but she says she wants us to have real flowers, I say I want a couples shower but she wants us to have separate showers…the list goes on and on. Me and my fiance agree on just about everything, but she is…
