Birthday, Family, Relatable and Mother in law: Classic narcissist

Classic narcissist

By Vanessa - 28/04/2021 13:59

Today, my mother-in-law had a bitch fit because I had a miscarriage and my husband and I are having a difficult time. It’s her birthday and she said I should, “stop being an attention-hogging drama queen” and that, “shit happens, get over it” She doesn’t see what's wrong with her statements. FML

Today, after telling my mother-in-law about my recent miscarriage, she cheerfully made a cake to celebrate. FML

Just no, stop

Today, I’m on my fifth miscarriage in nine years so we’ve had to decide to stop trying. Ever since we stopped, my mother in law is blaming me for giving her no grand-babies and uses every opportunity to try convince my husband to divorce me and marry a real, “fertile” woman. FML

Today, my mother-in-law constantly threatens to commit suicide, unless my husband pays her bills. He told me I don’t care about his happiness because I told him he can’t keep giving in to her guilt trips. FML

Family Ties

Today, my future mother-in-law blamed me for the death of her husband because I should have taken him to the ER when she didn't feel like it. She then blamed me for her getting a new boyfriend less than two months later and making her son hate her when she insisted he call the guy "Dad". FML

Today, and since we've had our baby, my mother-in-law started coming round more often, then bringing her stuff to stay overnight, then started claiming she lived here, and got hysterical when we told her she doesn’t. I had to pick her up and place her outside while she punched me in the head repeatedly. FML

Today, my mother-in-law screamed at the top of her lungs in front of our friends and family that I was stealing her baby away from her. I'd only suggested we go home because he had a migraine. Her baby is 24 years-old and has been married to me for a year. FML

Due date

Today, my sister refused to come to the hospital with the rest of my family to visit my new baby. Apparently, I’m an "attention hogging slutbag" because I "chose to go into labor" on her birthday. FML

Not a fan

Today, it’s my mom’s 65th birthday celebration. I have to share a room at the resort, table and car ride with my sister, who my ex-husband left me for and got pregnant. She tries to talk to me as if nothing ever happened, and my parents bitch me out for being upset at her. FML

Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML

The only dattention-hogging drama queen is her. Screw her, OP, and ignore everything related to her, because jerks like her do not deserve to have the time of the day.

Sanction her by not celebrating her birthday ever again. She is, after all, not your legitimate family member. Even if she was, her statements are atrocious enough for you to permanently sanction her. Never celebrate her birthdays in the future and let that be a permanent reminder to her for her disdainful remarks.

big pause. your in laws are definitely your real family, it's immature to think otherwise. also sanction for life? again immature. also, you don't know the story behind all this. when did op have the miscarriage, is op making a scene? if you're having a bad time don't go to someone else's event and cause a scene just respectfully decline the invitation. people shouldn't be able to tell your having marriage issues unless you're really making it obvious after all, having a hard go at it doesn't excuse shitty behavior.

I don't think you understand the devastation and anguish a miscarriage can bring upon the parents. That's absolutely tragic, and to disrespect someone who experiences one is disgusting and deplorable regardless of the circumstances. A LIFE WAS LOST. Also, you want to mention immaturity? Throwing a selfish tantrum towards someone over a birthday while they are mourning is immature. Finally, who are you to say a certain faction is someone's family and is immature to say otherwise? This is the reality of how life works. Family is a subjective term. An individual's family is determined by who they choose to be their family, not bloodline relations and sure as hell not by being an "in-law". People are allowed to value others they are not related to over those that are related and can be for good/necessary reasons. It's their live and their choice. It's OP's life and OP's choice! Not yours or anybody's. Your comment is delusional, disrespectful and absurd. I detest your biased and inconsiderate opinion...sir. Tsk Tsk...

You and your husband should never let that toxic bitch set foot into your home ever again. Also, I support the idea mentioned here earlier to never again celebrate her birthday from now on. I am so sorry for your loss.

Hold onto that "shit happens, get over it" when her entitled narc ass demands to have access to any future children you may have. And then throw it straight back in her face. Skip her birthdays from now on and don't give her anything for mother's day either since she apparently can't grasp how special children are to REAL mothers.
