Dealing with the monster-in-law

Quote From: colcha9500

Oh I so wish my husband could have seen this show because it is 100% his mother ... to tell everyone exactly how scary she is she had OUR sons name put on her ankle as a Tattoo ... she then turned and said this way he is with me no matter where I go ... she too has threatened me ... oh how I wish he could have seen this one!  I feel for the daugther n law because I understand what she is going through and it is not easy ... I have actually told myself many times I was going to leave due to his mother but here I am still here and fighting the battle of the monster n law.

Temporary fix: 

Avoid her.  Get caller ID so you don't have to answer the phone when she calls. 

If she comes by, give her a minute to start her yap, then say, "ooo, I have to check my laundry"--then head for the laundry room.  -- don't come back. 

Think up a few other excuses to get away.  

Smile and agree to whatever, then go about your business as you see fit. 

Don't tell her any important details of your life.  -- I'm the 2nd wife, my husband went to an attorney other than the "family attorney" and drew up a new will.  We aren't telling anyone about the new will. 

  

Try to hang in there!!
