I feel like this isn’t being talked about a lot bc of the guest drama and Nathan/Joe storyline, but Gen going after Cooper the moment he’s “available” is so scummy and strange. Considering how poorly she reacted to people talking positively about Luke and Joy still talking to him, I can’t believe she would do that, especially since Kat is basically her only friend on the boat.

Also her arrogance in saying “I’d eat that boy alive” like she’s better than Kat and that Cooper would by default be into her. Also, worth noting she is younger than Cooper so calling him a “boy” in that tone seems strange. She oscillates wildly between delusional self confidence and absurd insecurity.

She was comforting Kat and saying she doesn’t deserve that treatment but then turns around and tries to very awkwardly flirt with him immediately? Crazy.

I’ve posted here before about my crazy MIL. Please don’t share.

She is known for her temper tantrums, causing immense drama during both myself and the other DILs wedding planning, and deploying DARVO like a pro.

I am waiting on an apology that will probably never come about how she acted during our wedding planning last year. In the meantime, we’ve bought a house! MIL was furious that we wouldn’t use her as a real estate agent but eventually “moved on from it” to “heal”. I’ve been VLC with her for a year now.

My husband has a stressful job, is going to grad school, and again we just bought a house. He’s been less in contact with his parents due to all of this plus their rocky relationship. He did yell at her back around Christmas time and aired his grievances. It didn’t change anything but he needed to snap. Anyways, all that to say they are NOT estranged. The longest he has gone without talking to them is maybe 3 weeks.

She told him at Mother’s Day dinner that she had joined several Estranged Parents pages on FB (we all know how healthy the perspectives in those things are lol) and actually started one herself.

He didn’t even know how to react to that, considering they were sat at a literal Mother’s Day dinner with all of her children present. So he changed the topic. She also asked him if I’m still upset with her. He replied that WE are still upset about a few things, but now is not the time for that conversation. She retorted that they are not happy with me either :( LOL, presumably because I don’t talk to them. She has called me passive aggressive, insinuated that my parents did a bad job raising me, that I’m not a “direct communicator” like she is (which is hilarious), etc. all this because I simply dropped the rope.

She also said she’s not comfortable with coming over our house until things resolve, which is funny because she’s not allowed over until she apologizes.

She still has me restricted on FB but my SIL found the page and even though it’s private, we can tell from the description that it’s her. It’s got a whopping 30 members.

I wonder if this woman will literally ever learn, especially now that she’s joined the lovely toxic echo chambers that FB has to offer “estranged” parents.
