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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my hate for my mother-in-law now outweighs my love for my husband. 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 looked me dead in the face and said, "I have failed as a parent." FML
Today, I am living a nightmare. My mother is now friends with my wife and my mother-in-law, plus my sister is now friends with my wife’s sisters. All that needs to happen now is they all get together in the same room and my life will be over; it will be a 7 on 1 massacre, and I’ll be the 1. FML
Today, my mom said, "I'm sorry your life is such shit." She meant it as an apology. 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?

I guess I should be thankful that my mother-in-law is in the beginning stages of dementia and/or Alzheimer's. She's too busy calling me to help her find her credit cards, keys, glasses etc. to hate me or make a point of bemoaning the fact that even though I'm married to her daughter, she wishes that she'd "get over the gay thing" and find a nice man.

I think you're being a little overdramatic.

I don't know. I have seen some very nasty women. I used to think that the movie Monster-in-Law was dramatized to be funny. Then I sat through a dinner with my best friend. She has been married two years now and finally met her mother-in-law. MIL flew down to see the new baby and the first thing she said was, "I hope this child does not take after your wife, dear. Look at that bad skin. Oh the poor darling will not age well. This is why you do not marry someone ten years older than you." My friend is 6 years younger than her husband and does not look older than her age at all. My friend looked ready to cry. The whole time the mother-in-law bemoaned how much of a ***** my friend was, how the house was tacky, that the baby had a stupid name (Angela), and that they should have named the baby after her. When my friend pointed out the baby was named for her deceased mother, MIL turned to her and said, "Did she die of disappointment?" This was when the husband, myself, and everyone at the party told her to leave. I don't believe that my friend, or her husband, ever forgave the MIL. But I have never seen someone so nasty since.
