Not all mother-in-law can see her son happy with his wife. Not all mother-in-laws can treat a daughter-in-law as her daughter. Read this story how this monster-in-law’s action destroyed her son’s marriage.

My ex mil was an alcoholic, bitter, manipulative woman who’s enmeshment with her son bordered on emotional incest. She is a coward who only tells you how she feels when she is completely bladdered at some family event. Some examples:
1. Got blind drunk at her other son’s birthday celebration and cornered me (literally I could only get away if I climbed over the woman). She asked why I was stressing her son out, told me he loves me too much, said I had made him weak, threatened to kill me if I hurt her son. I was young and naive and just cried my eyes out, I spilled the reason (chronic, painful health issue that no one knew about) she dismissed me and said ‘all this because of (chronic health condition)’
2. Manipulated her son into believing I was cheating
3. Got drunk and told the family ‘f%$# you, I hate you all’ when leaving her other sons wedding
4. Fraudulently opened credit cards in all of her children’s names
5. Controls her sons finances (he works with her)
6. Walks into her sons home without knocking, does his laundry, makes appointments for him
7. Rang my mother to have a go at her for telling her son he needs to stand up for me after the ambushing in point 1. Accused me of being the reason her son is going to go kill himself (no b#$%h it was the consequences of your behaviour and the devastation you caused us)
8. Openly discussed my health issues in front of others despite being asked to be discreet
9. Got blind drunk at my ex SILs hen party, stumbled around saying she was bored when we were having a nice time, stealing alcohol off the bar man, upsetting her grieving cousin and being rude to the mother of the bride (repeatedly telling her to ‘f#$% off’)
10. Blames me for ‘causing problems’ despite her own behaviour. Claimed she is scared of me…
11. Insinuating she doesn’t like my mother but would love my dad (who’s not in my life and she knows this). Yes b%^&$ you would get on well with him, he too is a manipulative nasty drunk who hurts everyone around him
12. At her own mother’s funeral she decided she wanted to talk about how ‘me and my mum think she is mean’, yep b%*ch, we do
13. Has a toxic abusive man for a husband and uses her son as an emotional crutch
14. Slagged off every female member of the family to me
15. Lying to and manipulating her son about all the above
But all of the above killed me so much more because of the way SO (35m) handled it. He didn’t. He would get angry at me, repeatedly punch himself, accuse me of being in the wrong, threatened suicide and left me in fear for his life several times and took his mother’s side every time. Finally I am so free by sharing my story with everyone.
How would you handle such a situation? any advice.
