Husband and mother-in-law

Posted by Susan47 on September 11, 2004, at 13:48:30

My mil is here and ex-hub is talking to her... I'm listening from another room... they all know I'm here, she barely said hello to me after I gave her a nice cheery one. She resents me being here, even though this was my home for many years. Now she's traipsing through it as though her son is her property and so is anything that's his. He's talking to her and he's actually insinuating things about me that aren't nice or true. He's twisting things to sound bad and I don't think he realizes he does it. It's like he and his mum are this private little club, it's very weird. He's the youngest child of four, a suprise, and when he came along his mom I'm so sure of this, she made him her husband, psychically. I'm sure it wasn't physical, but in any case, she's still doing it and he's still *there* too!!! When he's with her it's much worse; he's a different person when he's just with me. When he's with his mum everything is a negative joke. Hah hah, funny.

Susan,
I'm sorry your mother-in-law is so unkind. It makes me so grateful that my in-laws are so wonderful, as I've heard so many stories like yours. :(

Take care,
gg

Thanks gg. I was ignorant of the relationship my mil had with her son. If I'd been aware, I would've stayed away from him, because she's really messed him up quite badly. But how can people hide their messed-up-ness so well? Or do they really hide it, doesn't it just show up in other ways? I knew when I first met him that my ex had issues with his mother, and I knew we would have problems, but for some strange strange reason I just ignored what I knew to be true. In favour of ... getting a father for my son, who was abandoned by his own father, and wanted a Dad so so badly. But in the end having that "dad" ripped up what was left of the relationship my son and I had with each other. I would never walk in my shoes again. And I hurt so so much for all my children. I can't bear to think about it now.

I'm sorry it hurts so much. At least you did get your lovely children out of it.
