There are so many reasons why we don't speak to my DHs parents. They are controlling, toxic, emotionally abusive, manipulative people and just out for themselves.
I have been part of their life for 8 years and they have treated me and other in-laws (who has now broken up with SIL so no longer part of the family) terribly! I had some bitchy girls at school, but this is the worst case of bullying I've ever encountered.
They are cruel to me and my DH, they put us down, call us names- they are just toxic... it's the only way to put it and made our lives miserable.
After countless times we have just turned the other cheek, we decided enough was enough after they said some awful and unforgivable things to my DH. We haven't spoken to them in about 2 months.
We have a DD, 15 months old, who they have shown little interest in, as they don't like that they can't have her to themselves (again very controlling). However, today my MIL left a bag of T-shirt and leggings at the door.
I feel so annoyed by this. As if she can buy her way back in, as if that shows care? After everything that's happened and the lack of care, it just feels like she's doing it to make herself feel like grandmother of the year and so she can parade about saying how harsh we are for not saying thank you etc.
I feel like dumping the bag back at their door so they can return it.
I can't even begin to tell the venom that comes out of my MIL and FILs mouth and I absolutely don't want my DD anywhere near it or near them and especially seeing how they treat us.
Just really needed to rant about this! Anyone else have toxic in-laws and not talk to them for the sake of their mental health and children?
