She is finally letting everyone see her true level of crazy…
This is going to have to be somewhat vague and some details will be changed, as I had to remove my last post due to privacy concerns. I just need to get this out SOMEWHERE. She used to be much sneakier with her JustNo-ness but lately she’s just been letting it all out with no hesitation. Maybe that’s a blessing in disguise though.
Here’s just some of the things that have happened most recently with my JustNoMIL…
-when my husband tried to share something difficult our family was dealing with (which he never does), she made it about her and tried to say it was “so triggering” for her to hear about and that she needed him to support HER instead, then threw a fit when he ignored that and redirected the conversation away from her
-forgot to show up to an important milestone event and then said it was my fault for not reminding her
-told me I’m not involved enough with my kids and I should be volunteering in the daycare so I can be more “in tune” with my kids lives, and just “try a bit harder in general” (I have to work full time??)
-said she was sick of how “fake” I am and told husband she will refuse to speak to me, he said that’s unacceptable and he won’t tolerate that, then she implied he had to choose between us
-demanded to know extremely personal details about one of our children and the medical issues they’re currently facing and rage blocked us when we said no
-told extended family members that I “control her poor son” and am the reason he’s so “different” now (aka the reason he has confidence to stand up for himself and hold boundaries lol)
-also told people I must be “forcing him to stay away from their family”. Of course there is absolutely no way it could be her own behaviour driving him away! That’s a wild concept. (/s)
I don’t really know why I’m posting this, I think I just need to rant somewhere that I will be understood and won’t feel so insane.
