Nasty piece of work
I can't stress just how vile
my MiL is. It got so bad, I've not had any contact with her for well over a year now. She and I never got on, but shortly after the wedding she turned on me, saying she'd had high hopes her son was going to marry her pal's daughter! It's not like I came out of the blue and stolen him away. We'd been going out since we were 16yrs and married at 22yrs!
Then her campaign of lies and vicious stories began. She'd go to my FiL whim she had under her thumb, claim I'd said or done some to upset her, all lies. Then I'd have both my husband and FiL on my back shouting at me! It was usually when she was upset because she wasn't getting her way or I was getting some attention like at the birth of my children. We'd only been married for two weeks when my husband went to town on me because of her lies. I almost left then. After a year I asked for a divorce because it was getting too much. He begged me to stay, and promised he'd change, but mommy dearest always got her way! It didn't really improve but I did my best to get on with until one day, I really lost it! He was shocked! It took him a litte while to believe me until she tried to stir it with her lies and he stood up to her. She then had a strop and said he'd upset her. She put the phone down on him. He wrote to her and said she was behaving badly and if she wasn't going to speak to him again, her choice. He gave her an ultimatum and she caved in!
We've just celebrated our 36th anniversary. I'm still here despite her best efforts to get rid of me. I've had the last laugh!!
