[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]interfaith marriages seldom work out...even marriages between differing Christian sects have a rough go of it sometimes. You knew how awful she was before you married your husband. Honestly, if I were you, I'd get out and find a muslim or atheist man who doesn't mind his kids being raised muslim. Life is hard enough w/o bringing major religious differences into the mix. [/quote]

+1. You can’t force your DH to cut himself and your hypothetical kids off from his Christian family, be they sane or insane. If you don’t want to deal with them for the next several decades—and MIL at least sounds bad—then divorce him.[/quote]

This is your takeaway from a post about a bigoted, drunk, narcissist who abuses her DIL?  :roll: [/quote]

Oh, MIL is  bigoted and gross. But reading between the lines, what OP didn’t tell us is that she and MIL are tussling over the faith of future kids and possibly her DH. These are pretty hefty issues, and OP is minimizing them and blaming the drunkenness. OP has every right to raise her kids as she sees fit. But if this is the elephant in the room with MIL, best to acknowledge it, get it out there, and base the decision on it. Not solely on MIL’s crassness.[/quote]

You must be reading far between the lines because other than proving religious context, OP hasn’t said anything about MIL and her disagreeing about religion for future children. I think you are projecting.

It’s all about abusing and debasement of OP as a person.[/quote]

Maybe. But we have one side of the story. That ends with OP wanting her DH to cut off his family about some stuff about mooching, which is pretty drastic. And he doesn’t want to. Why?[/quote]

Because dysfunction is easy when it's familiar and he has been caught up in that crazy for a long time. OP should leave and husband can do whatever with his drunk bigoted mom. [/quote]
