Thanks, everyone. You don't know how much I needed to read this. I appreciate you all being my friends. Things are starting to calm down right now. My mother in law moved in with us not long ago, and things have been terrible since then. She doesn't pay anything or help out, but she degrades me and makes me feel like crap. She's living here free, and she thinks she has the right to tell me what to do and how to run my house. It's bearing hard on my marriage ... and my mind. Just when I started feeling better about myself, she comes along and shoots it all to hell. She's here because I felt sorry for her, because she had nowhere else to go. But now I am beginning to think I was too kind. We are in the process of trying to find her somewhere else to live. So far we've had no luck. Keep me in your thoughts.... I'm gonna need it!! Again, thanks to all of you for being so kind.
