Monster in law!!!

Markeisha

So it got back to me that my monster in law has been recently talking bad about me behind my back! Saying things like how “ugly” I am and how I stole her favorite son and snuck of and got married (mind you she was one of the 150 guest that attended our wedding 2 years ago) and that there must be something wrong with me because I can’t give her grandchildren. I spoke briefly to my husband about it and it was almost like he was defending her by saying she wouldn’t say things like that. He thinks she’s literally an angel on earth, I sensed that this was going to be a HUGE argument (we rarely argue) so I left it alone.

I believe she did say those things because she has said those same things to my aunt (not knowing that was my aunt) DURING MY WEDDING. Further, my husband is Bahamian and the person who told me these things is all the way in the Bahamas (we chat on Facebook) so how would she know of my infertility battle? Anyway calling me ugly and talking about my marriage doesn’t affect me AT ALL as I’m extremely confident in myself, however the infertility jabs struck a nerve! It’s so hard wanting a baby when your body is not cooperating, and I am trying so hard guys. 🙁 It’s been a few days and I’m now past my irrational anger phase but I’m still extremely hurt, she called today and I told my husband that I don’t want to speak to her so don’t pass me the phone. (Before he answered) I’m a bit at a loss as to how to proceed, should I confront her? Should I just never speak to her again or what? I could have my husband talk to her but he’s not confrontational so he wouldn’t know what to say. Or should I just let it go and act unbothered by her? It’s annoying because she literally acts as though she LOVES me to my face and says I’m the daughter shes never had (5 boys) so I really don’t get it, I’ve been nothing short of kind to this woman so I’m literally confused as to why she dislikes me so much.

Anyway sorry for the long post but any advice on how to proceed is appreciated!
