Mother-in-Law HELL

Ok so last night I was out with my hubby on a walk and bumped into one of his co workers. A girl. And I’m aware that he has female friends. What bothers me is that according to my father in law and mom in law I shouldn’t have male friends and once fil checked my phone and messages and showed it to my hubby. Of course I didn’t flirt with anyone but it really hurt me. My husband made it clear that girls have to adhere to some rules in his family. You know the fil is a doctor but still such small thinking. Since then I have kept all my facebook and orkut and all mail accounts open to my hubby. But I have no access to his accounts. And he has a different casual account too. Unfortunately my mother too feels I should not talk to any…

Hubby and I have a beautiful 5 month old daughter. His family take the concept of dysfunctional to a whole new level! His younger brother is getting married this year. Ceremony and reception booked on Father’s Day. DH was asked to be best man before they told him the date (we found out the date by accident – not because they told us). I was surprised that DH was asked as his brother is openly very jealous and hostile towards us, but BIL has no friends, and someone has to be bestman, right?

DH was so excited about the idea of his first Father’s Day; he dotes on his little girl. Last night, he was told that she’s not welcome at the ceremony or reception. Other babies and children will be there, but our child can’t come. I’ve said I don’t have a problem with this – I choose not to…

My husband and I have been together for 7 years, married for 2. We have been living with my in-laws for the last 2 years and I can’t stand it anymore. When I met my MIL for the first time she was very mean, she clearly showed me she was frustated and unhappy about me. she ignore me and went to the kitchen to talk with her son, at this time I just ignored her, it did hurt me but I just let it pass. While I was dating my husband it was easy to relate to his parents because we were living abroad. But then we move in the country again and we didn’t have jobs or a place yet, so we went to live with them. It has been horrible, it has gotten to the point where I have become depress because of this situation. She has a…

I guess this could be catergorized at Possible mother in law…or potential…I dunno. Anyways, so I have my baby and at the hospital she tells me “Oh I’ll claim him even if he’s not my grandson”. Wow, that really makes me feel great. Then she goes around telling people he’s probably not my boyfriend’s child. Then she tries to get my boyfriend’s brother to buy an “over-the-counter” paternity test. She kept bringing it up. Ok, the story is, there is a slight posibility that my son doesn’t belong to my boyfriend but he doesn’t care. He loves our son.

So then, I give his brother and sister-in-law a picture of my son. They take it to where they work and show it to this friend of mine’s mom and say this could be your grandson. And go around telling everyone lies about me. I got so angry and so upset I…

My MIL has never truly liked me.

She has often said, “We should have let The South secede.”

I am not college educated. (another mark against me)
I am divorced.
I have children from another marriage.

Her son never wanted children, but fell in love with mine.

When she first met my children, my daughter was having emotional problems due to issues from our past and her response to her was to call the toddler a little bitch, my son who had a habit of apologizing profusely was a “poor little thing.” This pattern followed us through.

She succeeded in breaking my husband and I up once.

My children began to flourish with counseling and constant attention.

My husband got a fill in job at their daycare center, and got to know them better, we began to date again (he is not their bio dad). He even went to counseling with us. Eventually we became engaged. His mom was…

I’ve been married 4 years this July. My HB is classically non-confrontational (in public and around others) and very controlling in private. We have our issues that we deal with as readily as we can, raising toddler twins and working and going to college. We are planning to move to live with my family out of state, which has always been supportive of our marriage and is very open – I grew up communicating, good or bad, fighting and making up and was taught how to show a lot of love. My HB’s family is quiet. In the last 5 years, the only ‘deep’ conversation my HB has had with his family was 3 months after our children were born when he went skiing with his father, when his father spoke to him that “your mother and I are worried she is trying to drag you back to (out of…

So have been married for 9 months and living together for 2 years beforehand. Background: 2 months before the wedding we nearly broke up because of my mil +fil. My political family is very close-knit, mine is less so.. IE.. i know when to let go.. how close you ask?? my friends at the wedding though by bil and sil were bf and gf not siblings… im a city girl + they´re country people living about 4 hours away, so i understood things would be difficult but what an understatement! My in-lawsdo not believe in boundaries. if you say no (in my own house they do it anyway) so far caught them going through my closet, kitchen cupboards, using my hair stuff make uo etc, and of course: walking into my EN-SUITE bathroom and finding my mil in the tub.. (there are 2 other bathrooms in the house!!) Last weekend…
