This vent sounds so crazy that I know it is true. Truth is always stranger than fiction. This MIL is certifiably crazy and needs medication or some kind of serious intervention. Thank you for writing "D", our sympathy is with you! -- MIL Vent
My MIL is the most evil, hateful, and meanest person I have ever met on this earth. My husband and I have lived together for 17 years, she has lived with us 16 out of those 17.
She reminds me on a daily basis what a terrible mother I am. (my son is a well adjusted 3rd grader with straight A's, respectful, confident, I couldn't ask for more). When I got pregnant a second time, she announced to both my husband and myself that she wanted nothing to do with "it". She has done so many terrible things, that if I was to actually write it down in letter form it would be far to long to read.. So for venting purposes let me put it in summary:
-She chases my son's friends and cousins with brooms, bats, knives, hangers, etc., and tells them that there ugly, stupid, fat, she even curses at them and tells them to leave! She hits them and won't answer the door if they come over. When they spend the night, she puts bleach on their toothbrushes, salt in there shoes, hides there belongings or throws them in the trash, she cuts up their stuffed toys and burns their dolls.
-every time my brothers two youngest (9 and 11) come and stay with me she tells them that their father is a bad father, he's stupid and doesn't love them.
-she'll tell my husband that I'm cheating on him
-Two years in a row for my son's birthday, she gave him a card with $20.00 (usually she doesn't give him anything) and than took the money back.
-She snoops through my things and takes things.
-When my family comes over, she'll ignore them if they make an effort to be nice to her, she'll give them dirty looks and tell them to leave
-Last Christmas she poured a whole container of salt into my crock pot because my husband mentioned that he liked my cooking. Then she emptied the trash into my purse.
-She uses my kitchen towels (the ones I hang up on the cupboard to dry your hands) on the floor and won't say anything to anyone unless she see's my husband using them, she cuts holes in them and uses them as rags, she moves my cleaning supplies so I have to look for them, including my broom, vacuum and just about anything else you can think of.
-If I try to talk with her to settle and arguement or to confront her for something, she laughs at me or flicks me off or goes into her room and slams the door in my face.
-Believe it or not I am nice to her overall and got her a job cleaning my bosses house (she complained that she needed more money). The next day my boss pulls me into his office and wants to know what is going on because she was telling him that she knew that he and I were having an affair!
-She lies about everything, including every single thing I have mentioned. She denies all!
-she's dirty and leaves a mess every where she goes. She'll cook something and then leaves it in the oven for days. She uses my cutlery in the garden. She destroys everything she touches. She's constantly breaking glasses and plates and sticking things in the garbage disposal that I have asked her constantly not to. She'll wash 4 articles of clothing on a large load, with hot water and a double rinse and then put those 4 articles in the dryer on high for 90 minutes and she'll do this every day, two or three times a day. I used to attempt to wash my own delicates which never seemed to turn out to good, then one day I caught her pouring bleach into the washer the moment I walked away from it.
-I do so much for her, when she's sick I take care of her and wait hours at the doctors office for her. I'm polite and respectful. She doesn't pay for anything, including rent. She drives my husband car anytime she wants to and has her own credit card that we pay for.
I know there is plenty of terrible things about her that I haven't mentioned but I never thought venting could be so exhausting! I'm at my wits end and I know what your thinking... Why not just leave... well that's another long story all in it's self. Thanks for the venting session I sincerely needed it!
Sincerely, "D"
