How is your in-law situation?

[(Anonymous)]

Kind of inspired by the family thread above. Do you have great in-laws or soon to be in-laws? Are they monster-in-laws? Indifferent to you? Did your relationship with them get better or worse?

Re: How is your in-law situation?

My in laws are ....well. My mom-in-law is a psycho. She needs to *stay on her meds*, holy crap. My dad-in-law drinks and over medicates with his (needed) pain meds. Neither one of them has ever had a really great grasp on reality. I stay far, far, far away, and since the last nasty incident with the mom-in-law, so does the SO.

MIL is incredibly needy, self-centered and really, really sensitive to any perceived slights. She's also very callous of other peoples' feelings and needs, and is constantly saying awful things because she doesn't think before she speaks. You know the kind of person who takes one look at you and blurts out, "Wow, you've gained weight!"? That's her. But if you say anything... ANYTHING!... she thinks is criticism, she blows up in a storm of tantrums and tears. She was also a terrible mother. I guess you'd call it benign neglect, but she had a child because she wanted unconditional love and acceptance and thought they could be BFFs instead of, you know, a parent and a child. She thinks of herself as really nurturing, but if anyone gets in the way of something she wants, she will trample you to get it and blame it on her absent mindedness.

We see her infrequently, and keep strict limits and boundaries on the time we have together, even though she'd love to see us every week if she could. She'll never understand why we're not close.

My brother's girlfriend once told me I have no soul.

Re: How is your in-law situation?

Soon to be MIL has turned into a nightmare. So far she's called me the ugliest girl her son has ever dated, said I'm too fat despite being on the slender side right now, despite working a full time job and a part time job has said I'm on my lazy ass all the time even though I've cooked most meals and clean up after everyone. She has called me a whore even though my attire is on the modest side. Oh, and my sister almost died and showing grief over that made me a crybaby in her eyes. Basically there's no winning with her, and my future FIL's sisters have come up to me baffled about how I'm wonderful and how I'm not anything like what the MIL has described me as. (Gee, I WONDER WHY.)

[(Anonymous)]

Almost forgot that when she bring her and the future FILs friends over she trash talks about me to the point where FIL yells, "Stop it, that's enough!" I love her son but chewing on nails seems more appetizing than this bullshit.

Re: SA

This is a bit late, so I hope you'll still catch this-- I'm sorry if this is incredibly presumptuous of me, but may I ask where your fiance is in all this? Does he defend you? Because no one should be putting up with this garbage from this woman.

Re: How is your in-law situation?

[elaminator]

This woman sounds like a damn demon. What a terrible person and unpleasant woman. I hope your fiance stands up to her about it, because... Wow. Wow.

Re: How is your in-law situation?

[kallanda_lee]

I actually have very little contact wit them except for things like birthdays or major holidays. They're alright, as in they don't really bother me, but we're not close.

His dad started a new family, and has two little kids, and I do not have much interest in getting involved with that.

I think they are bothered by the fact I won't be giving them any grandkids, especially the mom, but such is life.

My bf also has a really "young" family - example:the age difference between my bf and his mom, is the same as between his mom and my dad - so I don't really see them as parental figures at all.

But then, the likelihood of us actually marrying is pretty small, so legally they're not anything to me.

Re: How is your in-law situation?

[(Anonymous)]

At this point, I like my originally-intended-to-be-in-laws better than my fiance. I sort of regret the fact I probably won't have any further connection to them when I inevitably break off the relationship, because they're good people. (All the more so for being able to take care of her in ways I can't because I'm having trouble taking care of even myself at the moment; I really, really appreciate that.)

Making it worse, half of my own family is literally crazy, and I don't have the spoons to deal with them most of the time, so the steadiness of the in-laws was greatly appreciated.
