[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

I am not an idiot. I know damn well my MIL wants me out of the picture. BUT-- we've been together 10 years. My husband hasn't listened to her yet and she's tried to wedge herself in between us many, many times before.

What's funny is during this whole blow up she screamed that she had "stuff" on me and that I have been lying for years but that telling my husband would destroy our family. I asked her to spill the beans but in her true fashion, there was NOTHING to say. There were NO lies.

She also said that she had all this dirt on me that I was "dogging" her on Facebook. To which DH asked her for proof and again, she couldn't produce any. She just kept scrolling up and down my Facebook page.

My husband gets along great with my family because my family is respectful and accepting.

I do find myself upset that my children see her (and the rest of his family). But, then I think that I need not be selfish because our children love their grandparents and their grandparents are great to them. It's all hard to navigate. I just wish none of this was the case!

Some people ask me what I would do if MIL ever sincerely apologized. I don't know what I would say. I know forgiveness doesn't mean that I FORGET what she's done but how the hell do I accept an apology when she screamed that she wanted someone to harm me in the middle of the night?

DH is an only child. Never has he seen her act this way. Previously, when she would say things to me (or any of his family for that matter) they did it behind his back and when he couldn't take up for me. My husband is also an introvert and absolutely hates conflict. Not dealing with her at all is my choice but I also feel like I am giving DH space to see his family without having to also take care of me-- if that makes sense. [/quote]
