My mil is a devil straight from hell and I joke not. She's 94 and the only thing that keeps my DH in contact her is guilt. And even then it's me who talks to her. If he says something she doesn't agree with she makes electric shock sounds and screwy motions at her temple because he has MH problems.
Dr Phil once said if someone makes you feel worse about yourself and has the power to make you think negatively cut them out of your life .... and you know since we have reduced our contact life has got better.
His memories of her have all been bad, abuse phys&mental, threatening to put them into care in a daily basis. And the worst ... idolising one son and despising the other 2, my DH and other bro, to the point she would say she would rather DH got cancer and died if it came to choosing between him and her golden child son.
She contacts us when she has a problem, we solve it and never hear from her again. It sounds dreadful and because we are anonymous ican say we long for her death. Isn't that horrid? Everyone she needs she charms, people say she's lovely and when they leave she rips them to shreds. I'm a calm tolerant person but to me, who likes everyone because everyone is nice if you look hard enough, she's the devil incarnate! Lovely people die before their time and this demon goes on ... and on .... and on
