[quote=Anonymous]I have been married 46 years and still get my feelings hurt when I think of things my DH's grandmother, and MIL 
(who is still alive) have done or said to me.  when my husband told his grandmother we were getting married she said "A knife is turning in my heart" and  "this marriage won't last a year."  When we were young, the grandparents came to our home. Took my DH in a bedroom, shut the door and told him to write up his will and not leave anything to me,  (we had our first child at that time) and instead to by a small life insurance policy with me as the beneficiary).  I am not Jewish and my DH is. At a dinner with his Aunts, Uncle, etc. they all started talking about Hitler killing Jews and then all stared at me. I was too upset to point out to them that my father volunteered for WWI and was wounded twice fighting the Germans.  In all these years the have never sincerely congratulated or thanked me for anything I have done or accomplished.  When my MIL learned that I received straight As in college she told me I should teach her younger daughter "my tricks" so she wouldn't haver to study so much.  Obviously, after so many years, I learned to keep my distance and not to expect anything positive. But I am writing this now because I wish I had spoken out and called them on their insults.  So those of you out there who have MIL who are being rude and mean, please stand up for yourself.  Don't rely of your DH... they mainly did these things when he wasn't around or my DH  acted like he didn't get why I was upset.  The good thing is that i now have 2 SIL I love very much and have great relationships with my grown daughters and grand kids.  So we are not passing down this type of behavior.[/quote]
