Hi everyone!
Where do I start? My MIL is controlling, jealous, and hates that DH no longer puts her first. DH was the GC growing up, then switched to the scapegoat since he "abandoned ILs" and started a family of his own. MIL started out seeming to like me, but all that changed once DH and I had kids and DH's priorities have shifted to me instead of her. Lately she's acted aloof and makes little jabs when I see her.
DH has ALWAYS been respectful toward MIL, but every time she starts acting out we go low contact.
Current issue: MIL emailed DH and told him that he "destroyed his family and will pay for it in front of God some day." She said, "All you care about is OP and OP's family" and that "Despite loving you because that's what mothers do, I can't stand the person you have become." MIL also hinted that we'll turn our own kids against her some day.
DH showed me the email and I want to be VERY careful with the advice I give him. If a full CO is in order, I don't want him to blame me down the road.
What is this woman's problem? And why doesn't FIL tell her to stop?? It infuriates me that she thinks she can get by with treating us this way.
