Another day, another tale of a mother-in-law from hell. One woman wants to know if she’s being harsh by wanting to cut her hubby’s mom out for good.
The Family Is Close – Except For Him.

The woman explains how her partner [referred to as ‘OH’] has never felt included in his otherwise “close knit” family.
“OH’s family are a close knit group of 10 people, and see each other every Friday and Saturday. OH has never felt totally included and doesn’t go every week.”
Overbearing Mother.

Despite OH being somewhat of a black sheep, his mother is rather overprotective.
“When I met my OH he was going traveling and MIL was devastated, said he would break her heart by going, made him a t-shirt with her face on it to take with him.”
Endless Issues With The Mother-in-law.

“When we moved in together, MIL went mad because she would lose the rent he gave and demanded an extra month’s pay, which OH refused, so they didn’t talk for a few months. OH then came to an agreement with her to give her half of the money. When we planned our wedding, we get told we’re not including them enough, how many bridesmaids we should have and who we should be inviting, not agreeing with the kind of cake we want, etc.”
Credit Card Fraud.

As if the mother-in-law’s actions weren’t bad enough, she sank to another level.
“When buying our house, we find out that his mom had a credit card out in his name and racked up 5k. There were a lot of purchases like ugg boots, etc. We were offered less money for our mortgage and they didn’t speak for 2 months and then OH forgave her.”
Her Husband Keeps Letting Her Worm Her Way Back In.

Despite this woman’s appalling behavior, her son keeps forgiving her and letting her back into his life.
“Last year we had a baby. The day we came home from the hospital, she came to our house at 9pm. They’re very happy to voice their opinions on how we’re raising our baby, what we are doing wrong and they refer to our baby as theirs, so like MY baby wasn’t there.”
She Bailed On Their Plans.

“6 months ago, MIL was coming round for dinner, she called when she was due to turn up to say she was going clothes shopping, we asked for her to go the next day and come to ours as planned as dinner was ready but she continued with her shopping trip and OH told MIL to not come. MIL took this to mean we didn’t want her at our house, that we used her going shopping as an excuse just to get rid of her.”
Threats And Name-calling.

Soon enough, the mother-in-law waged war with the couple – and roped in the rest of the family.
“After 6 weeks of argument, MIL decided that I’m controlling my husband and there were some brutal names thrown at us, threats of spitting in our face, knocking me out and legal action to see our baby. We were told how the rest of his family feel the same, his Nan messaged him and told him he isn’t part of the family.”
The Final Row.

“Last week we get into another row as MIL was angry that we didn’t come to an event that we weren’t told about and OH isn’t making enough effort (which may be true, OH hasn’t felt the need to talk to his family as much since the arguments). OH ended that row by saying to not talk to him anymore. He got messages from his Nan, saying he’s not welcome, attacked me and my family and how he should be grateful for what his mum’s done for him”
He Tried To Explain What Was Going On – But No One Would Listen.

OH spoke to the other family members, but it fell on deaf ears.
“The following week he sends a text to his family explaining everything, including the credit card issue and requests no more contact and he gets backlash, his granddad called him a nasty ‘c-word’ and everyone has said that he’s a horrible person for doing this to his mum.”
She Wants To Know If She Is Overreacting.

The woman asked an online community if she and her hubby were wrong for going no-contact with this nightmarish woman.
Here’s what they were told.
Criminal Activity.

The community assured them they were being perfectly reasonable and that they should seek legal advice.
One user said: “Not overreacting. I’d press charges for the credit card fraud.”
If Anything, She Is Underreacting.

One user said this: “The time to cut her and her loyal entourage off was when she committed fraud and ran up debt in his name. If the statute of limitations hasn’t passed, you could still press charges for that, BTW.”
Not Worth The Stress.

This user had something to say on the matter: “You are not overreacting. Your MIL is despicable and she is damn lucky your OH hasn’t pressed charges for credit card fraud. Is there a reason you both haven’t gone NC with this woman? She sounds absolutely vile and seems to add nothing but hurt and stress to your lives.”
What do you think? How would you handle a situation like this?
