We never had a great start MIL and I, I'm her anti-christ. She's an alcoholic who will get very aggressive and hurtful when drunk, which is why I don't spend Christmas with her anymore.

She has called me a Nazi for being German in the past, told my DH I didn't love him, would never marry him and has said loads of other things. DH had broken off all contact wth her but started taking to her again when I got pregnant as he wanted DD to have a relationship with her grandmother. Then DD arrived and I was called dubious for wanting an Antilop highchair.

DD is now 9 months and wonderful. She has, however, developed some weird sickness episodes in the last few weeks that the doctors are baffled about (she's been to hospital 3 times) and their best guess at the moment is that it's a very ealy onset of abdominal migranes.

I found out today that MIL has told DH, DD's sickness was my fault because I'm an idiot who gives her baby avocado as one off her first foods (she also good sweet potato and broccoli).

I feel incredibly upset about this. I have been racking my brain if I did anything at all to make DD sick but there's nothing. She's now called me an idiot as well.

WIBU to never speak to her again? I already got a toxic mother myself, I really don't need this as well...

you certainly don't need her around whilst you and your DH have so much to cope with.

We get occasional crap from dmil. She's normally fine but was married for 20 years to dfil, whos a bit nutty but not cos he's German, or maybe so but not obviously! Dh is pretty well ajusted!

Mil makes a massive song and dance about is seeing fil, who's a bit odd but generally ok (his new dp is lovely).

I just smille, nod, ignore. It's none of her business!
