MIL Strikes Again

Last night when my MIL got in, she asked why her, and I aren't like we were. Well I told her that I was still upset with her for lying about me to her Daughter. So she said she never lied about me, Well that got my H talking to her about it, and the next thing we know, she says that she is going to call the cops on us for abuse. Now today she acts like nothing ever happened. About 7 years ago, I was having a large yard sale close to my parent's place, and that was where we had a lot of our things stored from when we lost our home. Anyway I walked to there house, I had brought them some fresh vegies, and took our ten speed bikes to sell. My mother came down to my sale, and started yelling that I stole something from her, (later she found the item she had misplaced) and she was going to call the police on me. That was the last time I ever spoke to my mother, she passed away a couple years after that. I always try to treat people the way I would want them to treat me. I always try to help, and I just can't believe my MIL would think that I would want anything to do with her after last night......

I'm sorry you have to endure all of this. Both my parents & my wife's are gone now. (I actually got along better with my wife's mother than I did my own parents.) But regardless, at least for me, there is a certain peace of mind that comes with just being alone.

Both my parents are gone now also. I do wish I could have resolved the problem with my mother before she passed. She had CA, it ended up in her brain, and one of my sisters kept feeding her lies, so things were never resolved. I am one of 6 kids, and the only one who was taken out of the will, not that I wanted anything, I have my own home, and things, it is the thought of it, and how could my mother twist that knife one last time. Sorry this is one of the things I am working on. I am so sorry you have had these losses in your life, I am very grateful that we have PC! I have found it to be helpful when I can't discuss things in my own home. Thank You
