My MIL is a good lady, who loves and knows God. She has her ways but doesn't everyone? Me and my boyfriend have been together for 7.5 years and she's always done nice things for me. My MIL has given me money and bought me lots of things. My life was the best in those days. I grew up with just my mom and I felt like she was doing too much for me or that she wanted to replace my mom and I just wanted her out my life.

Over the years, she has said some things that I found offensive. Sometimes she would come up to me and talk to me about her nephew, which I found weird and I would ignore her or give her an attitude.

I had my third child last month, which I didn't think we would make through (emergency C-section). When they visit at our place, I would act funny around them and get mad.

I've pushed my boyfriend away many times and I pray he understands that I was angry because of all that was going on in my life.

I've been unemployed since December, drivers license suspended since February, and my car needs a piece. Life has been hard ever since I've been that way towards her. I turned 26 last week and today I came to realize that she is human like you and me. She isn't hurting me or my kids. She is being herself and doing what she likes to do. I can't keep acting this way towards her especially if she's done nothing but help me and my family. I've asked her to forgive me along with forgiving myself.

I am going to change my ways from this day on and be the age I am. I am going to love people how I love myself.

I pray to God he understands how I feel and that I'm changing.
