[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that as people age, there personality traits, good and bad, often become enhanced. If your MIL felt comfortable saying such awful things to you before, there's no telling how much worse she can get.

I know I (and I think many of the other posters) would be interested to know how your DH has defended/protected you over the years, OP. While I know I can't imagine being in his exact shoes, I'm finding it hard to imagine continuing a relationship with people who have such open hatred for the person I have decided to marry and have children with.

I think she could be placed in a assisted care facility that is near you, and DH can visit as often (even daily) as he likes. You should not have to care for this person. This goes well beyond normal in-law tension. This woman has been full-on abusive to you, and you should not be forced to endure abuse.[/quote]

This.  As she starts to slip, all kinds of awful things might come out.  You are an adult and can cope, but what about your children?  This is a recipe for unhappiness all around-- even your MIL will not be truly happy in this situation.  Find her a nice assisted living place, visit often, and you have more than done your duty.[/quote]
