Horrid texts about me on MILs phone, should I say something

[Raspberryberetthekindyoufind]

DH, DS (five) are on holiday abroad with inlaws and I have no signal on my phone so I borrowed MILs phone to ring my mum as it’s her birthday today. As I was about to make the phone call a message from SIL (we hate each other) came through saying “I am glad the stupid bitch is not spoiling it this year for you all”
So wanting to know what this was about I did check MILs messages only to find many messages to SIL saying “thank gods the fits have “stayed away” this year” and “the lazy cow is pulling her weight this year” then messages back from SIL saying “it’s his fault he knew when he marriages her she had them” and “don’t know how he puts up with her”
Back story last year we went away and I had quite a few seizures (I am epileptic) and for two days I was completely floored and was told by DH to either sleep inside or just stay on the sunbed. I did have about five other seizures which knocked me out for a hour or so.
There is also a message on the phone to MILs best friend saying the same things she has messaged to SIL with best friend replying back “glad your holiday is not ruined this year”
I just feel like shit now and dont know what to do. If the message had not popped up from SIL I would never have checked MILs phone. I don’t know what to do I felt so guilty last year and MIL and FIL kept saying “it’s ok” and “don’t worry you cant help it”.
I now know MIL was prob slagging me off to all in sundry about her wrecked holiday. I know for a fact DH stayed with them the whole time last year with DS and left them in peace by the pool one of the days I was out of it and took DS to the beach
Feel like total shit I don’t know if I should say something now, tell DH, wait till we get home or just leave it

Fantastic OP.
Your dh must have got his integrity from his Dad. Phew. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I'd print off those pictures of the text messages so I have a hard copy of them.

I woukd maintain contact with FIL, invite him over, not your MIL.

Your DH & FIL rock!

No MiL was not just supporting her dd, but slagging her off behind her back. Op SIL spoke like that about op to her mother, as it is the way they both speak about her. If MIL supported op and had her back, she woukd not allow any such conversation about op. Two faced and duplicitous.

An apology won' t mean much at the moment, tbh. SHe'll just be saying it to keep you from ignoring her for the rest of the holiday.

She needs a long think about her behaviour and her statements regarding you and your epilepsy, and a long think about how she's actually encouraged her daughter to continue in her vendetta and hatred of you for no good reason. Two utter cows.

She then needs to apologize in detail for her behaviour and ask you and your DH how she can sort the situations. Dealing with her cow of a daughter should be a required step.

Ditto the above. I would invite FIL over still as then dc still get to see their grandfather.
Plus it is a non agressive dig. Helping you to maintain dignity and one up.

I love how she managed to drop herself right in it though. With out you even having to admit snooping.

Would it be a good idea to get this deleted now? Incase any lurking dailymail scum are about.

You know you’ve now ruined her holiday again don’t you / you’ve turned her family against her 😂

Your Fil sounds fantastic. What integrity. Was he with your MIL when your DH read all the texts on your phone or did your DH tell/show him?
I'm so sorry you have had such an upset on your holiday, OP.

I wouldn't forgive her even if she does apologise tbh. She'll only apologise because she's being made to, not because she's genuinely sorry. She's shown her true colours now, don't forget them OP.

I'm so pleased to read your dh is on side. Hope she apologises to you but I would give her a wide berth from now on and avoid at all costs.
And bravo fil too.

Maybe she will be on the next flight home, an apology won't mean much and family trust will never be the same again.

What an awesome husband. So glad he was instantly on your side because that would be super hard to deal with he had tried justify what SIL and MIL said. Hope your ok OP. clearly nasty individuals.

No an apology from her is pointless, as its not genuine, false like her. She has made herself look stupid, nasty and vile by herslf.

I think she should be left to sulk. So glad your DH and FIL did the right thing!

Wow, nice to see the men are prepared to back you , great to hear

OP this thread is now on The Suns website

Fuck off The Sun go do some real work will you

Your husband and father in law are the BEST!!

That is awful op. I hope you are ok. Glad you dh and Fil are on your side. They sound very nasty. Sil sounds like a piece of work.

The whole situation sounds horrible. I feel sorry for the FIL.

What a vile pair your MIL and SIL are. They'd not cross my threshold again and certainly never share a holiday with me.

I'm so pleased for you at the way it's turned out! Your FIL sounds lovely and I pretty much guessed that your husband would totally have your back.

It's really annoyed me that people have said "shouldn't have read the other texts". D'you know what? Probably not, but while not everyone would, they'd probably be in the minority. Imagine the sick feeling you'd get when you saw that text? I'd have read them. Also the whole "everyone is entitled to their own private thoughts." Of course they are. I'd be really upset if someone I thought liked me didn't and I found out about it in that sort of way. But, if I found out that someone had been basically mocking one of my health issues, I'd never be able to have anything to do with them again. It's despicable. They are nasty, heartless, bigots and much as I'm sorry you had to find out, I'm glad that you have, because being around such poisonous people would eventually have had more negative impact on your life.

Anyway! SO happy that mil is managing to ruin her own holiday this year with the help of her own dd. Karma's a bitch.

So glad your DH has your back. Good for FIL too.

Yaaaasssssss! GO DH AND FIL!!!

I could never have the same relationship with MIL again. Two-faced biatch!
Well played OP (though i’m sorry it hurt you obviously), and i’m so pleased DH & FIL have your back.
