[quote=Anonymous]Oh my gosh, OP, I am in the same boat!

I was never very close to my own mom, and my MIL hadn't been close to hers either, which was something we bonded over.

My husband was never very close to either of his parents but I tried really hard for the last 13 years to make sure we spent time with them, and once our kids were born 8 years ago, made it even more of a priority for them to spend time with my in-laws.

My FIL, who has always been an a$$, recently said something incredibly hurtful after my dad, to whom I was very, very close, died. My husband dealt with it and explained that his dad's behavior was unacceptable.

MIL went nuts and started saying that there was always drama whenever we had spent time with them, that I was cruel and manipulative, and that we had used her for years.

It's clear that she was lashing out because she couldn't control what her husband did (and he has long been verbally abusive towards her, but that's another story). Anyway, it completely ruined things between us. She has never apologized for calling me names (and I am a lot of things, but I'm not guilty of what she accused me of), and she just continues to lash out at my husband and tell other people that her husband did nothing wrong and that he has apologized a million times (he has never once apologized or even come close to doing so).

I'll tell you what it's not you, it's your MIL. No idea what caused this from her, but I'm sorry you're the victim of it. [/quote]
