[quote=Anonymous]So I just posted in another tread and realized the therapeutic value of posting!  I hope I can safely vent here. My DH and I and my BIL and SIL all financially support my in-laws. I'm actually fine with this generally as I know my DH loves his parents, he always puts me and our family first, and we can generally  afford to help.  However, I just learned (while on a family vacation with in-laws and family)  that my MIL just racked up thousands of dollars in credit card debt after secretly opening up a new credit card. This even after promising us years ago she wouldn't do so. Several years ago we bailed out ILs by paying off their house. A few years later we found out that ILs secretly took out a second mortgage in their paid off house to pay off my MIL's cc debt.  After that, DH and BIL established a trust and took over their finances. Well, apparently she is at it again.

Her selfishness sickens me and my FIL's enabling is pathetic. I'm so angry but just need to get through this vacation. I'm just so disgusted and sad for DH. His mother looked straight at him and lied to his face years ago with her promise to not over spend. Oh, and to top it off, her dog just shit all over the rug at the beach house we are paying for. The idiots showed up ( without asking) with their dog in our "no pets allowed" rental.  They sicken me. So why am I here- for the kids. On surface everything is fine, no fighting, etc. and our kids love their grandparents and their cousins. Thanks for letting me vent. I'm just so upset, angry and sad. [/quote]
