Have you ever told your Mother in law off ?

it was well deserved! My husband has an unhealthy relationship with his mother b/c she has a substance abuse problem (for the past 25 years ) and wont help herself...And I try to be the middle man to keep her included on our lives as much as possible B/c she is grandma regardless of the sub abuse to our son . Anyway, the hubby and I have a rocky marriage and I thought separation for a little while would do good along with counseling. My MIL was furious with me that I was thinking about doing this b/c for some reason she turns it into me keeping our son away from their side of the family and that I'm ruining my 2 yr. olds life. CRAZY !!!! She wrote some crazy emails to my Father inlaw who was out of town about how my son isn't safe with me or my side of the family b/c i wanted a separation in my marriage and how she wanted to buy her son a car just in case he needed to kidnap the baby take him out of the country if i tried to divorce her son and she wanted to rush out here to Chicago to take the baby b/c he was better off with her .Well, after i read these outlandish emails, i called her up and confronted her and basically couldn't hold back, i went off on her and said she was a drunk and how dare she say these things like that behind my back when she is the one who ruined her own sons life by being an alcoholic and she hasn' t even seen her grandson sober. Who is she to judge! I'm an amazing, sober, well educated Mother So, anyone stepping on my toes questioning my motherhood is gonna hear it from me. Especially from a MIL who thinks she has rights to have influence over my son. She was sending me threats like ';i will use the fullest extent of the law'; to see my grandson. Which is funny b/c not once did i ever threaten my husband or her to not see him if we separate.

I know that she is crazy and i shouldn't have let her crazy babble get to me......But it was so heated that she couldn't deal with that I read those emails. Regardless she was defending everything she wrote and even threatened to hire her son a really good lawyer. She was just fueling her own little fire in thinking that I would keep my son from their family , I never once said anything suggesting that !!! CRAZY LADY. Anyway I really dislike her and dont want to deal with her crap so, i feel okay in what I did/said. What do you do when you burn bridges with your MIL But, really i had no choice, she can't go around just saying whatever the hell she wants!Have you ever told your Mother in law off ?
Absolutely keep those emails and I would notify the police. She has no business being on your child's life. I would never leave her alone with any child.

your husband needs to understand that you are worried about your son. Don't let her ruin your child's life.Have you ever told your Mother in law off ?
i'd store those mails and never let her alone with your son, i'd also talk to the hubby, she is clearly disturbed and may think she can save your son, in which case there is a kidnapping danger, and you and your husband need to do what is safest for your kid



i luckily have no issues so far with what will hopefully one day be my MIL, rather my BF is scared that we get so well along that we will tagteam up on him *lol*
