Read my above post.

Good! It's about time! She sounds like a complete wing nut and in serious need of psychiatric help. Personally if I were you I'd get a restraining order against her because I'm not even near where you leave and she scares the crap out of me.

That's great! Sounds like he's making positive steps!

Wow! Good for him for realising that she could care less if he died. Is she on any sort of medication? Or is she the type that doesn't believe in medication/nothing is wrong with her?

I hope for all your sakes that your FIL is able to put her in a mental institution. Does she say she cares if he's divorcing her?

I am glad that he finally stood up to her, now he will just hafta stick to his guns if she tries it again. I think she will learn later that he means what he says.

Some people are evil and she sounds just like this. She sounds like she doesn't care what she says and who she hurts. I do hope that she doesn't have any animals though, because I think she would be very mean to them. Look how she treats her kids and other people.

No, she's not on any medication. Never has been. Again, she not only thinks nothing's wrong with her, but I'm not sure she KNOWS anything is wrong with her.
She's the type that if someone smiles at her once at work, she thinks they are flirting with her and want to rape her later on when she's not looking.
Once, she applied for a job and didn't get it. She had worked with the supervisor who did her interview at another company. She later accused her sister of calling that supervisor and telling them all the things she had said about him when she worked for him before... Her sister didn't even know she had a job interview


I could go on and on!

It really sounds like this woman is just a nut. I don't think she will ever change. I think you just need to ignore her the best that you can. I hope your husband continues to stand up to her too. He has to understand that you are his family, first and foremost.

Maybe shock therapy would work
but I don't think they do that anymore. If all else fails there is always Kentucky and you are always saying how much you miss it. And you know its alot cheaper place to live.

Wow. Either she had something happen in her life that made her think this way or she's lacking a chemical in her brain/body.

Start documenting this stuff and turn it into a book. "My life with the nutty MIL"
I definitely would read it!

Thanks for explaining that to me! I wasn't sure how it worked. It definitely sounds like she does need to be committed and evaluated. I'm soo sorry your family is having to go through this. Justice and Deacon are such smart little guys
I'm sure they understand

I'm so proud of your DH. It had to be extremely hard for him.

I'm also proud of your DH. It takes courage, but he has to stand up to her. It worked for us. My husband simply stopped seeing and talking to both his parents until his mom changed her behavior. Eventually she did. However, she doesn't have an untreated mental illness, as it seems your MIL does, so the situation is different. You still might be amazed with just how easy it is to cut off all contact- we did it for over a year.

Well I am glad that he finally stood up to his mother and supported you instead!!
I would keep a notebook of all the instances of her contacting your family with dates so in case some legal action need to happen you have written proof of the incidents!! Can you contact any other family membersor come up with an action plan?? She doesn't have a key to your house does she??

Ugh, she sounds like a complete disaster...I wouldn't put up with her nut-wad behavior for more than 30 seconds. And THANK GOODNESS your DH finally said something, or I would have been feeling quite hostile with him as well.

Sorry you have to deal with this...it sure sucks. Sounds like you both need to distance yourself from this cuckoo-brain. And yes, I mean DH as well. I realize it's his mom, but for pete's sake, he has GOT to see how destructive she is, having been victimized by her himself. I would not allow him to allow her to pollute your life, his life, or your kids'. Blah. Again, I'm sorry.

I would say no...but that's just me, I've had too much experience of people borrowing money and never paying me back. I have a friend who still owes me a couple of hundred dollars and I still have not been repaid even though I have mentioned that I have NO money and cannot buy things I need...(I'm a poor college student.)
