I just need to vent and maybe get advice on how to deal with it or just let it go. I'm a very sensitive person and given the history of how I've been talked to and the passive aggressive ways I've been talked to and I can't talk to him about it because thats his mom and no matter what I say, I am just crazy or there's an excuse to why I've been talked to that way.

So, my mother in law and I have had our issues and she's very sneaky/ passive aggressive and the only people who don't see it or know and just accept it is her family. I get it, thats her family. When she's rude to me, she does it where her son can't see/hear it or in a nonchalant way so she can get away with it. Anyways, she got us Christmas gifts which is really nice and she didn't wrap them and we were supposed to. She put no names on them but some were in a pink and blue box and so I started to see which ones were for our 1 year old, him and mine.

A month ago my fiance broke a military dog tag that I inscribed my love for him and him being a father, etc. I even did it before we even had the baby . So it broke and she knew it broke so she took the time to get him one and inscribe her words and how much she loves him. Ok, it made me upset because she copied me and was trying to replace what was special for him from me with something about her and to basically flaunt it in my face everyday like she had to see mine everyday (sounds crazy, but I know how she is) but there are worst things in the world. And belive me when I have tried to tell her that she hurts my feelings and I want a good relationship with her and she takes it to heart. And everytime I try and let things go, she does something that just makes me realize that she doesn't like me or is being passive and she knows now not to raise her voice at me and be rude because her son was catching on. So she does this passive stuff. Anyways, to my gift, you're honestly going to laugh. She got me a broom. I mean jokes on her because her son is the one who sweeps and mops but yes a broom.. and I'm also venting because all I can say is thank you and shut up and take it. If I were to say it in the nicest way possible my fiance would chew me out that she didn't have to get us anything. That's true. So yes, I'm probably going to just call her and say thank you and smile in front of my fiance and never tell him until maybe years later. I just needed to vent.
