Mother in law from HELL

Oct 04 2011

Ok, I know its a cliche, but she really is the mother in law from hell, and she left last night, join the party girls.

This is the first time i have had my mum and my ma in law in my house atthe same time, one speaks english the other greek, one is sane and one is a nutcase, I will leave you to make the correct choice but if you say my ma in law is the sane one you are making a mistake.

How many others have mothers in laws that dont take baths, drops food all over the place, pees on the toilet floor, never washes her hands after going to the bathroom and then touches food? And these are just a few of the things she does, cos i am too ashamed to say she wears a sanitary towel for weeks,Gross. She loves to cause trouble, cant stand it if someone says something nice about me, she will then say something horrible about me, yet i am the one who had her in my house, stressing me out and taking care of her meds while she was here. Bitch, there i said it, BITCH, BITCH, BITCH.

BUT, she is my husbands mother, and for this reason alone i will respect her on the outside, I will put up with her insane ways, thank God i dont see her often.

ok got that of my chest, thx

This will bring out the worst in me. My MIL has never wanted me in HER family. Not before the wedding and not after. She doesn't even know me. After all look what I have done. I help raise 2 children that are not mine, gave them something their Mother did not a bed, Showers, attention, health and much more. She said my first born did not look like a Family member.. like someone else was the DAD? And my husband wonders why I won't go see his family? God Bless her b/c I have a hard time doing that. Your one step ahead to respect her for being your husband's Mother. I'll just stay away. CLAP

Oh boy! That's nasty hygiene habits! My mother in law is a nut job too. So I know what you mean, but what I learned from my therapist was that hurting people hurt people, and that its easier to be angry than to be sad/hurt. So if her outburst are more anger driven, chances are she is hurting deep down inside about something else. Probably something you don't even know about. We can't change people, just ourselves. Change starts within us, and if we continue to be the best person we can be, those other people just make themselves look bad!
I've been dealing with nasty in-laws for years now, and since my FM diagnosis, it's been even worse because they don't understand my pain. Gotta just keep moving on day by day.

I love it !!! my mother in law also has issues I prefer to stay away she has nothing nice to say. Basically I'm a quitter because I took a medical leave from my job as a home health aide. I could hardly walk before I got these cortisones shots let alone stand beside someones bed and bathe and dress them and put them in a wheelchair. I think shes upset because it puts more stress on my husband.

If it makes you feel any better...I have the father in law from hell. He has said TONS of things about me to my face that are just awful. Just to name a few "I can't believe my son married such trash", he called me a "bitch" in front of my kids and has told me many many times that "if you don't like the way I run my house get the hell out" - the last one he said because I asked very nicely "please no more cookies for the kids before dinner".

I am so sorry that you also have an awful inlaw. It is never fun having to deal with it. Especially if you have a spouse who doesn't want to stand up and deal with it. Not fun at all....my sympathies smilies/sad.gif
