[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand wanting to know your child's plans for the day. However, your MIL hardly kidnapped her. When you say "stayed out all night", you clearly don't mean "ALL NIGHT." If I got home and my 13 year old was nowhere to be found and I couldn't get in touch with her, I would be calling the cops, not having a text message argument about it with my husband.

To me, it seems like you are making a big deal about something that is not the biggest deal ever. It sounds like you are frustrated by what you perceive as years of disrespect and are projecting that frustration onto this one situation. The result is that it looks like a big overreaction and your family thinks you're nuts.

You need to have a conversation with your husband about how you feel about his mom's behavior. It's about more than this one incident, and you should have a reasonable expectation that the conversations you have with your husband privately remain private. That said, there is really not a lot that can be done about the phone theft at this point. He got the phone back, and presumably when she said "LEAVE THAT CRAZY WOMAN", he told her no.[/quote]

OMG, this poster is clearly from an unhealthy family so does not recognize unhealthy when she sees it (just like OP's DH...). It is not rational to pick up someone's minor child and take them out of the house for hours without telling (asking even?) the parents or whoever else is in charge of them. That is just common sense and a saftey precaution, AND something the DD should already know.

DH thinks this craziness is normal (like this PP) because he was raised in it. This is NOT normal behavior. I agree with the PP that the MIL is doing everything she can to undermine OP with her own child and DH. There are nasty, evil people in the world who make it their business to do things like this and MIL is one of them.

OP, no advice but I totally get why you are upset. Your MIL is in the wrong and your DH should be standing up for you and his marriage.[/quote]
