How many people don't get along with their in laws?

Question

I have been married 10 years and my mother in law is awful. She is nice to my face but ugly behind my back. I am ok with that because I don't like her much, but she doesn't have a very good relationship with my children. Of course she thinks she does, but when you only call every couple of months and live an hour away something is wrong. My husband said she was like that when he was growing up- like she never told him bye when he left from school and she never went to any of his school functions and so forth. She says she did, but he says different. He can remember one football game in his whole high school life that she came and saw. That is sad. It makes me mad and she thinks she can buy us all things and it is all ok. What do you do about someone like that? My mom on the other hand loves my kids and is always with them.

Answer 1

The same thing here. My man's mother more than awful. She's one of those "christains" that quotes the bible and tell you that you're going to hell, but she does every evil thing there is to do. She stole from him, forged his income tax return, lied and manipulate every situation and she told me that if I was to concieve a child, she didn't want no parts of it. I'm writing a book about my experiences with her drama. I ignored her. I stopped playing nice with her after she attack him when he was in the ER. I told her exactly what I thought of her and I ignore her. Eventually, he cut her loose. It was his decision. It's been a year now since we last heard from her. Life has been great and less stressful without her.

Answer 2

My ex's family never liked me and made it very clear. He and I divorced last year and he is in prison for almost killing me. His father lit into me in the courtroom after I testified against him and said how all of this was my fault, because I should have come to them and worked it out.

Now he has been in prison for almost a year and mydaughter and I have been written off from his family. I don't care, but it has benn really hard on her to lose her Aunts and Uncles and cousins for something he did.

The ironic thing is my family understands he was on drugs at the time he hurt me and has been clean now and is back to the person I married and they are angry with him for what he did to me, but they still feel sorry for him and because he is my daughters dad he will always be part of the family. My mom even wants to help him get a car and an apartment when he gets out because his family is so awful.

Answer 3

Count me in! His mother is a liar. She turned on her electric using her grand daughter's name-grand daughter was 8 at this time, and lied about it. She would always bring up my husband's ex-wife even though she treated him horrible. This went on for the first few years of my husband's and my relationship. Two of her sons are crack addicts and another's in prison for child molestation.
