Four WONDERFUL months since I have been married & since I have had to see my crazy MIL and manipulative loser FIL.

DH promised me that is his mother did anything at the wedding I would never have to see her again.

Of course, she did.

And I have had the best four months of my life!

So my MIL tells my that my partner is distant from them because of me, he has changed because of me, his broken relationship with his sister is because of me, and I have not made any effort to see them. They are the most deluded people you will ever come across, rude and nasty people. Anyone that's meets them, thinks they are loonies. The truth? My partner has hated his parents forever, he was suicidal at home, his father used to beat him, his mum broke us up when I was in High school because God said we weren't meant to be together, He begged me not to spend time with them during christmas and I told him we should because our daughter would want to see her Grandparents (what a mistake) and he is not close with his sister because they are like chalk and cheese. But somehow it's all my fault. I have formally told them to never speak to me again......and I feel at peace.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *sighs of relief*

So you are so jealous that you decided the best thing to do was to avoid us and punish us by not allowing us to see your rental house and children? BWWAAAAHAHAHAAAAAHAAAA! This is a joke right? LOL!

So we don't ever have to see you at all or let you mooch off of us like you do EVERYONE?

So we don't have to hear you brag and lie and lie and brag to protect your self-esteem?

So we don't have to hear you sit and judge everyone like you are GOD?

We don't have to look at pictures of you from high school (LOL!) anymore?

Oh, how we have missed that! This is the worse punishment ever. Poor us. LOL!

Treat others how YOU want to be treated. It really is that simple.

You say you and your husband have moved on and truly grown. Then why are you trying to treat us like your "old selves" would if not worse?

Get it? That is why this situation remains the same. That is why no one believes or trusts you.

My fingers were worn to the bone from scrubbing vacuuming dusting and decorating during the holidays. My house looked fabulous. My arms and legs were sore from standing in the kitchen cooking and baking, and setting a lovely festive table. The food was awesome. Then we invited YOU - MIL.

You walk in, stand there with no cordialities, and pretend not to notice! Not a word, not a smile, you don't even fake it. You never have uttered the word, "thank you" in your life. You leave as coldly as you came in.

And you still wonder why you don't often get invited to our home????

I posted several days ago that my fil was in icu. He passed away on thursday. That evening we were all at mil's house, the family mourning, people were bringing food and drinks and giving thier condolences to the family. Nephew and his wife brought thier 2 boys, ages 5 and 4. As soon as they arrived they started running around hollering and screamming. the momma gave them red solo cups full of dr pepper and paper plate fulls of chips- they began running around the room sloshing the drink and chips on the carpet and running thru it crunching the chips into the carpet. They was fighting and jumping on the couches with thier dirty shoes on, they were just being little heathens!!! The nephew or the mother neither said anything to them about it. Infact the mom of them would stand there and watch mil and other sil clean up behind them. Instead of conrtolling them, it was like they were codoneiing and actually promoteing these brats!!!
After about a hour and half of this, i looked at my mil, and she was so miserable. So i went in the room the kids was in and made them sit down and be quiet, and took the cokes and chips way. I threaten to whip them, even threaten to whip my grand daughter- who wasnt even doing anything wrong.
They got quiet for about 5 minutes, i went back and lined them all out again.
Thenn a few minutes later the mother of them came to me in a room where i was talking to a group of realatives and got all up in my face telling me she was thier mother, and if she wanted me to get on to her kids she would let me know. she was really angry- i didnt care. i told her it wasnt the time or place for it and walked away.
A few minutes later i went in and had to get onto one of the heathens for having a space heater turned on and had it in the floor riding it like a horse, and the other turd was pulling the mane hair out of my grand daughters stuffed horse and was putting it in the food people were nice enough to bring (all the while the mother of them was watching them and said or did anything to stop them) So I sat them down again.
Then she got in my face for the 2nd time. I told her she might can tune them out, but the rest of us cant. I could see she was wanting to have a full blown confratation, so i walked away again.
A few minutes later she hemmed me up when she caught me a alone and we really got into it then. I had a out of body experiene on her. I then invited her to take it outside. Then she went and told her hubby (nephew) it was time to go.
So they left i n a huff. The house got quitet. MIL thanked me for controlling them (her great grandchildren)
OK- youd think that would be the end of it , right?
NO_
So at the viewing the next day, here they come- Nephews wife walk by me act like she dont see me and bumps me with her shoulder on the way by--- trying to start something. Both of them were giving me those go to hell glares. WTF!
i would be so embarassed if someone else had to control my kids. As a matter of fact i would be if my kids even acted like that to start with!
So I catch her later on doing what im going to call a 'smear campaign' shes telling a whole diffrent story to everyone she can tell that i singled her kids out and got on them really bad for no reason at all, and that i was purely evil to them.
BUT i have to say that at the wake, the funneral and the gathering at mil's house afterward, they were little gentlemen.
BUT --- then at the house gathering she started telling people how shes going to 'put me in my place' OH GIRL I CANT WAIT TILL YOU TRY!!!!! trust this: I will beat the fire out of you, every knock at the door im hopeing its you cause im going to drag you in here and beat the dumbass out of you.
then youll learn: when you carry your kids to anyones house, especially one that there had just been a death in- you dont let your kids act like lil heathens!!!!
instead of being mad, you shoulda been mortifed with embarassment.
You suck as a mother! Youve let your brats tear your house down, other people dont want you to let them do the same at thiers.
Sure we love them- but control those little knotheads!!!!!!!
You shouldnt leave it to someone else.
I know that makes me really unpopular with nephew and his wife , but i could give a rip.
I'm waiting on you to come by tho- i got something for you....and i think youre not going to like it at all.

I am so tired of my MIL, FIL, and BIL....they are one crazy and dysfunctional family. my MIL always talks to my soon to be DH... like hes her husband, expecting him to take care of her all the time when she has her "depression" problems. She divorced from my FIL over 10 years ago and she's still not over it. she complains about it all the time, i wish she would just shut up and move on with her life already. Her marriage ended because she is just psychotic. She give advice to her son (my DH) to bury the affairs he had behind my back. YEP THANKS FOR THAT ADVICE -- letting your son know it's OK to cheat on his wife-- the whole time she was pregnant!!! She cries about everything and whines about everything...it's rather annoying--she came to visit recently and told me that maybe i should change my appearance and my husband would love me then, and also told me to let him go to bars and with other women for a while-- WTF!? how is that going to help a marriage? and my FIL-- just loves to be in control of everything. During the divorce, he was acting as a lawyer for his son (btw-- he's a computer programmer), and made him make so many changes to the agreements my husband and i had already agreed upon. He needs to back off- his son is a grown adult..he can make decisions on his own. My BIL-- has this theory in his head that women just suck, and can't do anything as good as men do. REALLY?! he also accuses me of lying to him since i've known him... when i ask him about what -- i get "you told me you wanted to work on things with my brother" .... at one point i did...and then found even more lies, and decided to change my mind-- it happens. Doesn't mean i'm lying. He also had told me i am a bad mother. Now, he hasnt seen me in over 2 years. my oldest son is 3 years old. How could he say such a thing, when i am on the other side of the globe from him?! I love my kids, more than anything and i would do anything to make them happy. I can NOT believe I am in the middle of the divorce, and I still have to put up with this insane family. they just disgust me.

My DH and I had visted my SIL for her college graduation. We traveled halfway across the country with our two year old. We gave her money to stay at her apartment. I had very recently found out I was pregnant a few weeks before and felt awful and just exhausted. The stay was horrible. They just wanted to spend time with my husband and left me in the apartment alone, sick,and with a very cranky 2 year old for nearly 5 days and when we finally got ready to leave I was elated... I had never been so furious. We took a flight home to an airport that was one layover and 3 hours from our house. On our way home from the airport, a 3 hour drive, My DH was so exhausted he looked down for a second and lost control of the vehicle. WE flipped 8 times and with our daughter in the backseat. We were knocked out and awoke to a screaming toddler upside down. We were rescued and rushed to the hospital. My DH and I were both hurt especially my DH . Our daughter luckily wasn't harmed except for a small bruise on her knee. I was covered in blood from head to toe, in a hospital gown, outside trying to call My MIL to let her know what happened... She called me back and started screaming at me. Blaming me for what happened and then decided she was going to come out here! I told her there was nothing she could do and i would call her! She scoffed! My DH had fractured his spine, and had a brain bleed. He didn't want them coming out here and stirring up trouble and Boy did they. I tried to be positive but the moment my MIL and SIL arrived they tried to push me out of the picture, take over and run the show. I hadn't left my husbands side except for an hour to shower and change clothes. He was NICU for 3 days and a regular room for 2. He finally got to go home and when they visted they didn't offer to help with our daughter or anything around the house. They talked about the restraunts they went to, how salty the food was and what a great movie they saw. I didn't speak to them. I was just in aw of how they were treating us. When I would leave to give them time with my husband. They would talk behind my back in my house how rude I and my family were. Even though it was my family who has put them up in our home previously, paid for our trips out there to visit them, and took care of my daughter so I could be with my husband while he was in the hospital. Not to mention my Mum paid for our wedding and has been supportive of our marriage since day one. My family does not like my in-laws. They notice they only call when they want something, they complain about not getting to see my daughter but don't make an effort to see her. When my DH visits them they treat him like a house servant and butler. They are a different race than I am and they act like I'm the racist one and concerned I couldn't provide a culturally diverse upbringing for my daughter. Yet I haven't seen one non-black person other than myself at their house. When my family and friends are VERY culturally diverse. I thought they liked me at first but my husband told me they talked behind my back.. He's my best friend and has such a great heart. I feel so bad for him. I don't want them in my house. After the accident we lost the pregnancy. My DH had said that before they left my MIL had stated "what's the point of building a relationship with my grandchildren if I'm not going to be able to see them" After we lost the baby none of them called me except my FIL who has been supportive and loving through all of this. I love my BILs and his youngest sister. But My MIL and my SIL(who is supposed to be our daughters Godmother) I can't stand. THey kept asking my DH why I didn't talk to them. So I wrote my SIL an email about how disappointed I was that they talked behind my back and how they treated myself and my husband! How they paid no mind to what happened to us or our daughter... Of course she sent it to my MIL who called my DH at work and Started Screaming at him. Neither one of them have the nerve to talk to me one on one. They know they can railroad my husband and he has even tried talking to them but they feed off of each other's hatred and tag team him. It'll be a cold day in hell when they talk to me again. I will not take any stuff when it comes to them I will always stand up for my DH and daughter. They will not be let around my daughter if they disrespect her parents and that is ALL!My DH is a good man and has tried talking to them. They are so self centered they blame it on everyone else but take no responsibility for their actions.They think everything is happening to them and If it's not they create a scene or drama so the attention turns back on them. I hope one day they will grow up ... but I'm not going to hold my breath!
