[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I asked a few days back why your husband reneged on his promise that she couldn’t stay with you. You never responded. Can you answer why?

Your MIL sounds mentally ill and the real issue here is that your husband is sacrificing the well being of your family habit to accommodate her.

I’m starting to think this isn’t real.[/quote]

Sure, I can answer, kind of.  He didn't renege so much as it just kind of eroded over the years.  She got a lot nicer after we had children, at least when they were small, so I guess I let down my guard a little.  Then a few years ago she retired and began traveling a lot more.  That was really when it took a turn for the worse.[/quote]

Pp who asked the question. You really do need to have a talk with your husband. This is no way to live. It’s extremely disruptive to your children and your family life, terrible for your marriage, and clearly wreaking havoc on your mental health. I’m sympathetic to you but if you were my friend or my sister, I’d be sitting you down and telling you the same thing. Putting your foot down is hard, dealing with this for years and years will be harder.[/quote]
