I Hate My Mother In Law
So now, My husband's STEP sister is graduating college . And I am really really proud of her. IT has taken her a long time to get there so I am very glad for her to be done with it. Now maybe she can get a decent job.
She wants us to come to the graduation and we would love to. The problem is that My husband works that day, and has no more time to take off. I have been sick a lot lately. The worse stint, putting me in the fetal position in tears because of the pain. So I asked him can we go? Will you be able to take that day off? He said no, he just doesn't have the time to take, and with how much he has had to call in...they wont give him a day off anyways.
More info: that day is also our wedding anniversary, so if he could take it off he would have already.
So I kindly inform her that sadly we cant go. I actually really want to.
Her reaction?? She called her mommy (Step MIL) and cried that I wouldn't let my hubby go. So Step MIL calls us to find out whats going on in an accusatory manner. IT pissed me off. They NEVER call unless they want us to come support Hubby's sisters in their life events. But they don't do anything for my kids' birthdays, or our events ever. And I had to practically hold a gun to their heads to get them to show up for Xmas. I am so mad at all this. Really??? If they really knew my hubby, I mean really knew him as a person and not just a commodity, they would know that I can't keep him from something he wants to do, if he can do it.
Why is this so hard for them? Just show some freaking respect. We have already been married longer than any of his mother's marriages lasted, and it will be 11 years this year. So why the heck am I still the outsider??? It makes no sense. This woman (MIL) terrorized them too. like crazy. But they will carry on her hatred for her.. it makes no sense. When SILs and MIL was spouting hatred towards Step MIL and FIL I defended them, I was on their side. Always. But the moment Step MIL found out if she threw me under the bus, the SILs would love her to death then she did exactly that. So I am public enemy number one so she can have fake love. Its stupid. I offer real love and real family. And this is what i get. I'm just so tired of it.
I have quit even trying to hide who I am in these post and I even ranted about it on Facebook.
I figure if they have the right to make me feel like dirt, then I have the right to say how I feel, even if they don't like it. I am gonna start holding a GIANT mirror up for them every time they so much as glance our way. maybe then they can see what they are doing. And if not, at least they can see they can't walk all over me anymore.
