My mother is like this. She was at her worst when we were dependent on her for a two months, when we lost our jobs during the recession.

Can you see the link here, OP? Money comes with strings attached. DH and I were traumatized, not so much by the temporary job loss, as by the insanely cruel things she said to us AND our young children while we were in her house for two months. She would phone her sisters and friends and complain about us, and pointedly highlight the fact that she was "saving" us and that we were ungrateful in every way, etc, etc. She called my DH names, said I had ruined my life by marrying him, called me and my children fat on a daily basis, accused us of tampering with the fridge, the water heater, the computer, anything she could think of. It was hell, and we got out as soon as we could.

Hopefully your wife will one day realize that no private education in the world can make up for lost dignity and respect.
You should politely thank MIL for her generous support until now, refuse further assistance and severely limit contact from now on. I guarantee she'll be much sweeter.
And you'll have your self-respect back![/quote]
