Miscellaneous: Today, everything that was beautiful and pure in my life turned...

Today, everything that was beautiful and pure in my life turned into a terrible, warped version of what it once was. Today, I lost all hope and no longer believe that life, although sometimes shitty, is sweet and worth living. Today, I met my mother-in-law. FML

Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. FML

Today, my future mother-in-law started shit-talking me on Facebook, and we got into a heated argument. She called me later in the day, saying I'll be lucky if I ever marry her son and that, "You'll suffer to your last breath." I'm now terrified to set foot outside. FML

Today, I was trying to cope with my emotions so I could hold them back, but mom made it worse by inviting my niece, who is only attracted to my sister-in-law AKA Mommy, and she will cry till she gets her way. What a fucking day. FML

Today, my mom came home heavily drunk. As I was taking care of her, she told me all about how I was a mistake. That didn't hurt nearly as much as when she told me she wishes I'd died during her pregnancy. FML

Today, my mother-in-law passed away. She wasn’t even cold yet when my wife told me she wanted a divorce. Apparently, only her mother guilt-tripping her kept us together the last few years, but now she’s dead, she’s dumping my ass. FML

Today, things got so bad with my mother-in-law that I seriously considered faking my entire family's deaths to escape it all. FML

Today, my mother-in-law confessed that for the longest time, she had fantasies about killing me for "ruining" her daughter's life, basically because I'm not wealthy enough for my mother-in-law's standards. She made sure to let me know the situation hasn't changed at all. FML

This is probably the most poetic description of the abomination otherwise known as a monster-in-law.

It all started when she hijacked your computer, didn't it?

you didn't marry your in-laws. They're family but they are not the most important people. Focus on the most important thing which is you and your spouse and what you are building together... namely a new family.

That is a lie. Unless you cut off contact you inherit the family. What Op needs to do is set limits and ask that the mother in law no longer cone around if she is that bad.

It seems sad to me that MIL relations have such a bad reputation. If everything goes well, you could wind up with an "auxiliary" set of parents who love and support you. Or at the very least, warm if distant relations with people who are important in your spouse's life. I know it's tricky, but I think it's worth trying...

Just watch the show mike and Molly. Molly's zingers will help you get by. Otherwise I'm sorry. Maybe you can wear her down. Maybe find out why she's such a rip.

They are not all bad, I live next door to mine. If she is to much for you, you might consider investing in moveing. Putting distance between you and your mother-in-law will limit the amount of time you have to interact with her. Good luck and remember its your spouse that you married not your mother-in-law.
