Toxic MIL... how do you deal?..
My SO and i have been together for almost 4 years. I am 21 weeks pregnant and we are getting married at the end of the month.♥️😊
His mother is really strange for me to understand. I think she is one of those people that actually has mental issues. His parents divorced when he was 8 years old.
Over the years she has flipped from hating me, to wanting to beat my ass over the phone ..lol, to being excited about about her new grandson... I’ve forgiven her for all the hateful things she does, and i seriously do not hold any anger to her and I’ve NEVER said anything disrespectful or hateful to her. EVER.
Just to show you how rude she can be.. when she found out that we got engaged she wanted to see my ring and immediately asked my SO how big it was, and then she said “sterling silver or white gold? It looks like silver..” and i said no it’s white gold...🙂. And proceeded to talk about all the engagement rings she’s gotten from men crazy about her over the years lol.. 🙄
She has left to go to Italy on some army deployment and begged my SO to keep her car and make her car payments $900 a month for 6 MONTHS and he DID. He also FLEW HER HOME so she could see one of her kids graduate highschool and when we all got to see Eachother after the graduation she didn’t even speak to him. 🙂. Like i said she just keeps hurting him?... for no reason?
She now lived with her mother, and his grandma STILL calls and asks my SO for grocery money or money for bills. She’s been doing that for a while but i never said anything bc that’s his grandma and she needs help. But now the mother is also living there and she doesn’t help her own mom?..
With all that being said.. i still welcome her with open arms and i don’t point fingers at her. BUT, i saw her at a kids basketball game and i asked if she could help me with the wedding by sending me pictures of my SO when he was young, bc i wanted to have a section near the guest book of old photos of us. She acted stupid like she had no idea we were getting married? And then asked where it was and her face completely dropped when i said a Baptist church.
I told my SO and he said he has no idea why she acted stupid and that she knew about everything. Later that day she texts him and they get into a huge argument and SHE TOLD HIM I WAS RUDE AND DISRESPECTFUL?!? i was nothing but nice to her?!!? She said how she wasn’t coming to the wedding and a bunch of shit about how bad my so treats her.. when he has done nothing but take care of everyone!! He told her dont come to the wedding and that if she doesn’t want to be apart of if then don’t bother him. He acts like it doesn’t hurt him but it’s obvious it does, and it makes me so sad for him.
I don’t even know how to deal with this. At this point i just want to scream at her. I can’t even imagine her being around our baby. I know he will forgive her like he always does and I’ve never told him not to, but how do i deal with this shit??..
