In Law Rant - can anyone relate?!

To keep a very long story as short as possible my MIL is fucking crazy. The woman didn't really raise her kids, had my husband who is ten years older than his siblings raise them, can't keep her shit together, is an alcoholic who thinks it's ok to let her kids drink, steal, do drugs and would take her 10 year old to the bar.... The list goes on. The shit is bad. She's not mom of the year so of course she isn't grandma of the year.

When I got pregnant we didn't even want to tell her because she's nasty all the time. Luckily she was actually really excited for the first 3 weeks. Then it all changed. She went right back to her usual self.

I had a high risk pregnancy and decided to tell family at 16 weeks. Distant family at 20. And everyone else after she was born. We no longer live in the state we were raised in and running into people wasn't a problem. The problem was my MIL running to fb and trying to announce for us more than once. I shut that shit down.

At about 25 weeks I nearly had my daughter. While in the hospital we were told she would definitely be premature but I had some time still. Before finding this out we thought she was on her way and there would be no stopping it...and my MIL calls, waits to my husband leaves the room, and tells me she prayed the baby would DIE.

I can't make this up.

A few weeks later at 29 weeks I'm back in the er and I nearly have her again. I get to leave once more knowing i will likely have her very soon. Not even 24 hrs later this woman announces my pregnancy on FB. Shares her due date, gender, baby shower info, my health problems, and tells everyone how happy she is that the baby will be premature.

I go off on her and she deletes me after finding out I won't let her post pix of the baby after she's born. A week later I have my baby shower, she tells my husband she can only stay a minute, loads up on food to go, doesn't even bring a card or wish us luck with the baby, is a total asshole to everyone then leaves for the bar.

Oooonnllly to have her post pictures anyway because I'm now deleted!

Shes complained that my parents get to see the baby all the time and she doesn't. But my parents travel here to see her, they have done so much between building her nursery and buying just about everything she could ever need, and they can be trusted unlike her! She's met this kid once outside of the NICU and not by our doing. Honestly all she wants at this point is an excuse to tell her friends why she isn't in the baby's life, and a chance to snap pictures.

And to make matters worse, while in the NICU my daughter had a picc line that my MIL nearly ripped out by grabbing my baby and DANCING around her room. She tripped over her cords nearly dropped her and the tube almost came out. I should point out that my daughter had a wide array of health problems that kept here there nearly a week after her due date and came two month early.

Anyway i woke up this morning to find she's posted more (old) pictures of her on her Facebook which is unsettling because she has friends that she's admitted have things for little girls.

I just needed to get all of that off my chest. Any advice is welcome.
