That mother in law is very much like my own. Sitting there smiling that smirk. She puts on the great act in front of others as if she is shocked and in disbelief of all of this but it can be seen by those of us who have dealt with someone just like her. The great liar!
My MIL is just as controling and evil! While the public sees a different person than what the family knows. My Mil is one of those who is ever so sweet in public and knows just the words to say to the public but behind the closed doors the MEGALOMANIAC comes out.
In the early years I had suspected that she was vicious because of the way that she treated her husband and second son in public and private. The emotional controler that she is ........when you don't jump the first time she says something then the emotions get even more enraged. She live for RAGE! The Swears directed at the person with the insult....
One day she cornered my 8 year old daughter, litterly cornered in the bedroom. She was saying " I don't f------ respect you and don't f------ care if you ever f------ talk to me again". My daugher was in the corner in the fetal position crying. To an 8 year old child. She really believes she has the right to say and do as she pleases no matter who you are.
One day she said to my son " F----- worthless brat" he was also 8 at the time.
My mother in law told me one day that I should have to do what she says because she is older.
We were staying with the in-laws while our home was being built.........things were getting very bad. She raged at everyone for any reason she could come up with. During this time I had lost 4 people to death and one day she was raging at me ........" You are the uggliest person, I hate your F------ sad face, Your a F------ Bitch " I had to tell her that I had just found out that I had lost the 3rd person to death and she didn't care.
my oldest son, not related to her, from my first marriage. I heard her raging in the boy's room. I went to see what what happening. When I got there she was telling my son. " You don't deserve
F------ sheets on your bed because you don't know how to use them." more nasty stuff out of her mouth over the sheets........she was ripping the sheets off of the bed. She didn't stop when I entered the room, she expected me to back her up..... I told my husband and then he told his dad. She didn't get the fact that she didn't have the right to speak to my son like that let alone that he does deserves sheets on his bed. It was the middle of summer and he was sleeping on top of the bedding. Who watches others to the point that they know how they are sleeping.
She has threatened my youngest son that if he left antything else on the table that she would take it and shove it up his F------ ass. to an 8 year old child.
She truely believes that because she is older than me that she over rides my authourity over my children and can say and do as she pleases.
She is very emotionally and metally abusive to her family and is now even more pissed off at me because I haven't let her around us in 4 years now. I had to make the decision to keep her away from the children because she is just that abusive. By law, I am required to keep my children safe from all harm. It hasn't been easy because we live in a small town and most in the town think that I am the one that is cruel. I get the attitude from the people at the school and all around town because of the ACT that she puts on in public.
I have never hated anyone in life the way that I hate her!
On many nights in her house.............I would get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom........when I would come out of the bathroom.............she was right there in my face....inches away from my nose and raging at me that I was a F------ Bitch. It got to the point that I didn't want to get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. The last time that she did that to me ..........I went and woke up my husband and told him that she was at it again............that morning when we were leaving.....................she told my husband that we were not to come back again.........she was throwing us out in the middle of the winter with 3 children. It was presidents day and we live in new england and it was a harsh winter. I know her reason for doing it was to put us in the position that we would crawl back and cower down to her as she wanted. It didn't happen that way though..............we haven't gone back since......so much for power plays.
several days after she wrote a note saying that she was feeling better and said that I should go to her house to talk...............at the end of the note she said that if we entered her home again without her being there "like to get our pillows" she would call the police.....My husband went back to get the pillows and some clothing for all of us and I guess that pissed her off even more.
We had to seperate as a family for a couple of weeks, just so we could have a warm place to sleep.
My mom stepped in and gave us the money to stay in a motel until our home was finished. It was very expensive lesson to learn that the MIL is so controlling and I guess I needed to learn that lesson. Some people just don't feel that good about themselves that they tell everyone that they profess to love that they just don't do anything right ......she did tell me one day that she is perfect!
I do believe that she thinks that she is perfect. She can think that all she wants..........she won't be around us to tell us just how F------ stupid we are.
sometimes in life it is best to get away from enraged people no matter what the relationship. They say you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family......I say that you can choose what family memebers to hang out with. You don't have to put up with abuse just becasuse it is family. I am paying the price for keeping my children safe........the whole community seems to think that I am wrong and I am the big topic of the town. I don't care what they think .............it matters to me what I think of myself.
I believe that I am not only protecting my children but myself as well.
I think that the wife and husband are correct in keeping the MIL away from the family....Good for them. Abuse comes in many forms and no one should just take it.
