[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in laws are mostly fine to me - our relationship is superficial so there’s not much they could do to me.

They’re crappy parents and disappoint my husband constantly so that’s the worst think they’ve done to me - make my husband miserable, stressed and insecure. [/quote]

Similar here.   I don’t talk to mil anymore, but for me the worst incident was a couple of years ago.  We were living in New England, about an hour away from her.  She was supposed to meet dh and 4yo dd for lunch and an activity.  She was running late (as usual - wouldn’t bother me, but dh is military and hates that sort of thing) and called dh to say she was close.  I suspect he said something or used a tone because she hung up and never showed for lunch.  Dh called her back repeatedly and there was no answer.  Dh and dd spent the afternoon together and when he got home he reached out to her again.  No response.  His brother called and texted.  No response.  Its winter in New England and dh was worried enough to start calling the hospitals and then the police.  Eventually the local police checked in on her that night and she was fine at home. She then responded to the brother.

That’s just one of a million things, but to know she let him and his brother worry like that because she didn’t like how dh talked to her, not to mention skipping out on plans with dd, I was just done with her and her cruelty.  Dh, of course, is not.  He went up this summer to help her after a hospitalization (we live in the dc area now) and we send her money and pay for her phone and tablet and paid a bunch of old bills she lost track of.   Last I heard she was talking about prepaying for her funeral, partly I think because she doesn’t trust her kids to do it the way she wants it. The whole thing makes me sad for dh, but it is what it is. [/quote]
