good for you
Quote From: twobabies3I have had inlaws that have bullied me from the beginning of our marriage. They are horrible and have tried to control me and take over my home every time they visit since I married my husband. We have been married for 11 years and this last weekend his sister's family came to stay at our house for a soccer tournament and kicked both of my children out of their beds because their daughter had to have her rest and could only be in bed with her brother Josh. I stated that my daughter had her dance photos the next day and also needed her rest and that they could sleep together. They both said no to that and the situation was very awkward. Right then my husband should have asked them to leave but he is a pathetic weak wimp and didn't do anything. I could see that this was really going to blow up so we left it alone for the night and the next day we argued about it and how his whole family was a bunch of bullies. His mom and step dad came down in February and tried to take back a baby crib by force when I told them no that I wasn't ready to give it away yet. She took our pack and play, bed rails, and crib mattress. I wasn't happy that she took those things but I was determined that she wasn't taking the crib which is an heirloom that I intend to pass down to my children. He decided to call his mom about what his sister was doing and held out the phone and demanded that I talk to her and followed me around with the phone. We had a very unpleasant conversation and I took the kids to a nearby hotel for the night. His sister then called me on the phone after the first soccer game was over to confront me. I hung up on her and refused to take her calls. The next day my husband called her and demanded that I talk to her and she screamed at me and called me a bitch and said that she was turning the car around to come back to our house and beat me up and that she loved her brother and his kids but hated my guts. I told her that I would have the police waiting on them when they got here. They didn't end up coming back but the next day I filed a police report on them and now they cannot come back to our house. I can't believe that this is what it took to finally get them off my back. I have never filed a police report on anyone before in my life. They are horrible and southern white trash. I am so relieved that I do not ever have to see them again. Thank God they are gone for good! I am sorry to hear about your troubles with your IL's as I can relate. You did the right thing by calling the police. I think it is real interesting how some people believe they can get away with criminal acts towards a family member when they can't get away with it with a complete stranger. I too am sorry that your spouse is not handling his family the way he should be. I hope that you can get some help before the IL situation has too negative affect on your marraige. Good luck.
