[quote=Anonymous]I was very shy and had severe social anxiety as a child and young adult.  I hid the social anxiety pretty well and was thought to be only shy.

The very first time I met soon-to-be DH's family (I was 21 years old.) was at a family reunion.  My family didn't do reunions and I thought it would be a backyard BBQ at his grandparents' house with his aunts, uncle cousins from the area....25 people max.  Well, there turned out to be like 100 people... relatives, friends, neighbors etc... I was overwhelmed as everyone heard about me and was looking forward to meeting me.

I hid in the bathroom and "helped" in the kitchen a lot.  After everyone went home, soon-to-be MIL cornered me in the bathroom and berated me for nearly an hour for she thought I acted like a total b!tch and snob and thought I was better than everyone else because my parents were upper middle class and they were lower middle class.  (I was from a more wealthy area and this was out in the poorer countryside.)  I stood there with tears rolling down my cheeks as she went on and on and she told me I was the biggest cry baby she ever met. I quietly cried nearly all night long and couldn't wait to get out of the house the next morning.

No one had ever spoken to me that way... ever!  I wish I and DH stood up to her.

I did marry her son and tried to put the event passed me.  I tried for the year we were engaged and the first year we were married to be pleasant to her but she was just plain mean.  She insisted to DH that I stop calling her by her first name and call her mom - yeah right!  I wasn't comfortable with that so I didn't call her anything.  I always felt awkward around her and finally I just refused to be around her.  DH would visit her without me.

A year before our first DC was born, I convinced DH to move across the country for a job opportunity.  I knew I din't want my children around her.  I'm so much happier knowing my dc won't deal with her wrath.[/quote]
