[quote=Anonymous]I am not close with my own mom and had considered myself very close with my MIL of 12 years. She a great grandma to our kids and overall can be kind of difficult and negative but I considered her family and didn’t think much of it. I have done a ton of emotional labor over the years of hosting holidays and her visits as my DH works a lot and I am mostly home with the kids.

We had a minor miscommunication yesterday about arrival time  which completely blew up and went sideways. She blew up at me, criticized me for many things, and, in a long text to my husband, said that she has a long term resentment towards me that she didn’t fully understand until yesterday. She thinks I am ungrateful and dissatisfied, her words.

I am absolutely gutted by this. We have had some minor squabbles throughout the years, but this came out of the blue and is totally mind blowing. I don’t know how to proceed from here and am vaguely fantasizing about divorce to get away from her! I trusted this woman and she stabbed me in the back.

Advice? Anyone older and wiser who has been there? [/quote]
