[quote=Anonymous]This is a straight up passive aggressive gesture. The "tell" was going through it and taking out items she herself had an attachment to.

People, this is disgusting and unloving behavior. I would not treat items left by an old housemate this way. I would call.

This is her DAUGHTER IN LAW. She is supposed to love her, or at least care about her. A phone call would have been the first instinct of a caring loving person. "Hey I just came across this bag of baby clothes- what do you want to do with them"?

OP wasnt stupid to leave two bags at her MILS place because MIL obviuosly agreed to it.

OP, you need to have a very serious heart to heart with your husband and let him know of all the things your MIL does, and how it makes you feel. You need to pull way back from her, at least on this inside. This gesture was hostile. Im afraid I have met the kind of person who does this kind of thing. You have every right to be angry. You just uncovered a nasty side to a human being you were supposed to be able to trust at least somewhat.

This is no small thing. Consider it a warning sign of more shit to come and make plans to protect yourself both emotionally and in every other way from being impacted by what will ikely be progressively more hostile gestures.

This was a hostile act. Period. Couched in a bunch of cowardly excuse making as a smoke screen.Its BS. LET IT GO as far as MIL is concerned, but take the conversation about all of this to the private worldof you and DH and come up with a united front, limits set, etc. Tell MIL as little as possible about your feelings. She doesnt care and never will.[/quote]
