been going through a paricularly bad patch recently, everything's just been piling up on top of me (this isn't my usual name for posting). The problem is the mil, have never got on well with her but recently she has made me depressed she caused me to have pre-natal depression while pg a few years ago, i was suicidal and i was suicidal again due to her last weekend, quite badly that i had to have friends over to make sure i didn't do anything. (dh was away). dont really want to go into it but to make a long story short, i have a selfish, ruthless, conniving, scheming witch for a mil.she thinks she has the god-given right to control everything and evrybody and nothing will stand in her way. and dh is a piece of chicken shit who is too scared to say anything. i've accepted that i can't really do much. but i have decided to try to sever the ties between her and me and my child. i am going to do my bloody best to prevent her from ever seeing my child again if i can jolly well help it.altho that may be difficult as dh doesnt even seem to understand.
recent events have made me realise that she may try to take my child away if i am not around despite her not really giving a toss about my child's welfare, so can anyone tell me if i can legally draw up a will that prevents any contact between her and my child if i die? even if dh is alive? she is a bad influence on my child.

having said all of that, can anyone pls cheer me up and tell me your worst mil stories? i really need it right now.thanks

I know this is an old thread, but I thought I'd cheer you up with the story of my bitch troll MIL from Hell.

She HATES me, don't know why, I've never given her any reason to, except marry her son. The son she abandoned when he was 4 and saw once or twice a year, tops.

She has never even met our DS and I don't know if she knows I am PG again, I expect one of my DH's siblings will have told her.

She refers to our DS as "that woman's" child. As in I don't want to see that woman or her child. I assume that she doubts that my DH is his Father. When I was PG with DS she said she didn't care or want to know about it or the child I was carrying. However come Christmas and birthdays she sends cards. We just pass them off as from Father Christmas or Mummy and Daddy, I'd send them back but that would just give her more pleasure. She sends the cards to "my invisible Grandchild" yet when we try to visit we get told not to!

It used to upset me, but after the failed Easter visit a couple of years ago where she arranged for us to come down and then said not to the day before because she didn't want to see me or that child, I ranted, raved and then let it go.

It's her loss and she'll end up lonely, sad and very alone. Karma.

The scary thing is that in oh so few years we'll all be on the other side.

i dont know if this is serious enough for you all, i get on very well with my MIL but she does say some odd things. when DH was out the room once she told me about her friend whose daughter had a child later on in life......at 28- bearing in mind i was 29 at the time with no children. goodness knows what she makes of me now being 31 with none :)

Old thread?! It's well over 5 years old. Grin

I just joined and thought I'd resurrect rather than start a new one. Smile
