I 32F have been with my husband 34M 4 years, married for 3. My MIL has always favored my husband’s daughter over my two sons. The first year I tried to overlook that. Finally, I said something to my husband. He said he did not notice that but overtime that changed. He began to see what I was saying. Fast forward to July 4th and we are all at a game with the intent to watch fireworks afterwards. My MIL ran into a longtime friend of hers and introduced my stepdaughter as her only grandchild. I finally spoke up and said, well what about the boys? She then told her friend about all of her grandkids she has with her now husband. At the very end said, oh and she has 2 boys too. My husband and I took the kids to the field early to wait for the fireworks show and left her and her husband at the game the start of the 4th inning. My husband is very upset by what she said and sent her a text. She said that was not what she meant but him and I feel differently because it has been a pattern. We have not seen her since then and the kids have not asked about them or even brought them up. Occasionally I respond to a group text and my husband does if I ask him too so I don’t feel like I have to. The holidays are coming and I don’t want her around. Am I the asshole that is just over reacting?

My 5yo stepdaughter was sexually abused by her mother’s boyfriend. We’re currently in the legal process and have been for quite sometime. My stepdaughters mother and her parents are supporting the boyfriend. Her mother has even gone as far as telling the GAL that she’s in love with him still and she still talks to him. At the last court hearing my husband and I were at the right place at the right time leaving the courthouse and watched him get into her car and drive away together. We have it on video. That hearing was for the man that sexually abused her daughter for a long period of time. And she not only drives him to his hearing and leaves with him… she’s still with him!
My stepdaughter told her mother what he was doing. She told her that she didn’t believe her right in front of him. She makes me sick
