To cut a long story short, I have a very difficult relationship with my MIL. For the past decade, she has made nasty comments about me and my family. It's never blatent and in front of my DP, instead she waits until we're alone and says things like, "Darling, where did you get that mascara? It makes SUCH a difference. I couldn't believe how you looked without it last week!" Or, "Do you know what, darling, considering where you started in life, you haven't done badly have you?!" She has nothing to do with my family, who she looks down on and regularly tries to slate in front of my children.
When I was suffering with PND, she told me to stop playing the victim card ("We could all do it, darling, but most of us battle on bravely.")
When I decided to stay at home with my youngest daughter instead of returning to work she called me financially naive and said that I was being unfair to her son who would now have to take the whole burden of providing for us.
Today she turned up and couldn't wait to tell me about how she's been meeting up regularly with my DP's ex. She was telling me what an expensive house the ex lives in, how hard she works and how great she's looking these days ("She always asks after you" she remembered to include when my DP walked in. Oh and, "I have no idea why she wants to go out of her way to meet with me. I mean, I just can't think."
These are literally just a handful of things that she's said. As the new year starts, I realise that I can't take another year of this. AIBU to want to sever ties with her (obv would never get in the way of DP or children seeing her) Anyone got any ideas about how to handle this difficult situation?
