Mother-in-Law HELL

I’m begging you lovely ladies for help.

I am a military spouse on the brink of insanity. No one can help me. I have known my husband for almost 10 years, been his best friend for all 10, lover for 4 years, and wife for 3 years. I’m proud of him, in love with him, and he’s my soulmate. In fact, I’ve been told we’ve spent past lives together, and I would believe it because we are inseparable.

So, why should I care about my evil, selfish, manipulative, unintelligent, lying, back-stabbing, emotionally blackmailer, crocodile tearing, evil, MIL who lives in her own reality where SHE is the victim? Because I haven’t found a totally complete way to handle this yet where I can live without ever thinking about her or being bothered by her. I’m trying so hard. I really do. I take the high road. I take the “I don’t care”…

Right from the start I thought there was something about her the way she grilled me, it was worse than a job interview. She was always commenting about my figure I am a size 6-8 and she goes on about how she was like me and any other girl thinner than her, she has been on a diet since I met her, but never loses any weight.

When my Mum had cancer, she grilled me again and was really quite mean until I had to turn away sobbing. When we lost our baby, she was at another sons house looking after them cos the wife had a cesarian, wow! She didn’t give a crap about us, she just stayed there. She is so mean she told her friend off for offering to buy my friend and I a coffee when we bumped into them at a garden centre.

When I had my…

Hello All,
I am having problems with the in-laws. I’ve been married for almost 9 years with my husband and we have two children, currently residing in NYC. We live in a small apartment and are trying to save to buy a house, which means we are constantly looking for ways to save and cut costs.
I have met my in-laws on several occasions because they have come to visit us from South America and we visited them for one month about two years ago. Everything was planned for our one month visit and we provided for ourselves. We even made sure to leave money to cover our utility expenses. I made sure of this because I know how difficult it is to have visitors. It’s always an imposition because you are changing your daily routine to accommodate your visitor. We bought groceries, cleaned, washed our own clothes and took them out…

My DH and I have been married for 21 years. This past year, we have been dealing with the fast decline of my parents’ health. My mom lost her ability to walk due to cancer and died in August 2008 and my dad’s dementia took him in October 2008. Both required 24 hour care from 2008 until their deaths, and my brother and I did much of the care. In between the two deaths, my MIL confronted me and asked me why I didn’t talk to her like I talk to my friends. WHAT? I couldn’t believe she asked that. Additionally, we have a senior in HS who is going through the recruiting process for college and a sophomore learning to drive. Additionally, my usual lymphoma screening had shown a spot we needed to watch. Nothing on my plate! I was so taken back by her approach to me, which…
