[quote=Anonymous][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]

That sounds horrible. Some people cannot understand what others are going through and can only see life from their own perspective. I'm sure she was insecure about her family's SES. But that didn't give her any right to do what she did. [/quote]
