I finally did it. I blocked her
I blocked my mother in law. She has NEVER been nice to me. She openly disrespects me all the time. She gets mad at my husband for talking to me if she's in the room, says we don't see her much so she needs all his attention when she's there. She literally just acts like I don't exist. If we are all out together downtown or something. She'll grab his arm and LITERALLY pull him away so it can just be them. She's openly said she wishes it was "just the two of us again" to him. I've given it YEARS to be corrected by my husband or for her to see that it's fucked and nothing has changed. He won't correct her because his parents split and it was only the two of them for a few years so he's her "rock" and he doesn't want her to see him differently if he were to say "don't treat my wife like this" she fully expects for him to put her first, saying things like "I need you more. Video me on your day off, we can talk all day" or "I know you just lost a baby but I'm going through something too so I need you". Y'all that's not even HALF of it. But I'm pregnant and really don't need the stress so I'm trying to let it go. The last straw was when his sister announced she was pregnant. Which is great for her, but his mother also knew about me being pregnant, for 3 weeks before his sister announced it. As well as knowing about our losses. But instead of saying "both my kids are having kids" or something like that. She posts "one of my kids is FINALLY making me a grandma!!"...and it completely shattered my heart. She knew exactly what she was saying and how she said it. She even messaged my husband saying "I'm sure your wife is bothered by my post" with that. I'M DONE. I can not handle the stress this woman causes me. She is the ONLY thing my husband and I fight about and I'm sick of it! He's supporting my decision but it really sucks it has to be like this...but I can't deal anymore. You don't get to treat me like shit and think that you still get to be around me or even my baby. As far as I'm concerned...until she apologises and stops acting the way she does. She will not be around our child. I have NO issue cutting off family because toxic is toxic. I feel so much better today...
