I was just wondering if anyone had any mother in law from hell stories they could share. I still believe mine is the devil but it would be fun to hear if anyone else has one as bad as mine..

Joey3,
I've been blessed. My mother & mother-in-law were/are loving & supportive in my 29+ yrs. of marriage. I am now a mother-in-law. It's so very hard!
I've tried to emulate what they tried to teach me. I've failed many times. Been accused of ''preaching?'' LOL! (IMAGINE THAT)! I was on that alter 2x, promising ''in Gods Eye'' that I was willing to let go, let them go on their merry way!
I want to know that my child has picked a spouse that will love & support them; call them/me out when necessary. I hope that my child's spouse will respect me, (yet hold their own); that if a dispute occurs, (respectfully, of course)!, they feel free to unite & share those concerns. Have you tried talking to your spouse & then being honest w/ your mother-in-law, kindly, forcefully & as a team? She wants the 2 of you to stand on your own. Show her what you are made of, as a team. She has wisdom to share w/ you. You love her child as much as she does. It's not a contest. What do you appreciate about her? She obviously raised a person you love & admire. That is a place to start. You may be a mother-in law someday? Treat her the way you would want to be treated? Good luck, joey3, Hugs & Merry Christmas.
