A woman shared how her MIL made a disturbing comment to her daughter about how funny it would be if her neck broke and how this led to her blocking the MIL.
Single Mother
She began by saying, “My oldest daughter is now five years old. Her biological father is no longer in the picture. I kicked him out of the house when she was about one and a half, and he decided that meant his role as her father had ended.”
Not a Problem
She said it’s not a problem and things are much better that way. The ex’s mother is the problem here.
Knee Replacement
The MIL had her knees replaced when she was about 50 and had complications. She is now a paraplegic and has as many as 20 seizures a day.
Poor Health
She said, “She is in very poor health, but her attitude is worse than her health by far. I have never met a more miserable woman or someone who got so much joy out of making others feel bad.”
Negative and Horrible
“She said so many negative, ugly, horrible things about everyone around her, right to their faces, and laughed about it,” the woman recalled. “I always hated her but felt obligated to placate her. She was the ‘MY baby’ type of MIL with my daughter, and it drove me nuts.”
After the Breakup
After the woman broke up with her daughter’s father, the MIL claimed she had refused her son visitation rights. She said that was a lie.
Court Threats
“She messaged me, freaking out that she was going to take me to court for grandparents rights,” she said. “I let her know the only contact I’ve had with her son is the messages I’ve been sending him asking him to visit our daughter.”
Skype Calls
“I would occasionally Skype her so she could see and talk to my daughter. One day, we were on Skype, and my daughter was playing with a giraffe toy,” she began.
Broken Neck
She continued, “The toy somehow broke off at the neck, and I took it away for safety reasons, all while MIL was watching on Skype. My daughter was sitting on my lap with both of us in MIL’s view of the webcam.”
Funny If Mommy’s Neck Snapped
MIL then laughed and said, “Wouldn’t it be funny if your mommy’s neck snapped like that?” The woman said she froze for a second, trying to comprehend what she had just heard.
Shutdown the Laptop
When it clicked, she shut the laptop without saying a word. That was the last time she talked to her ex-MIL before blocking her on everything.
Things Are Better
She finished by saying. “My daughter is now a big sister, and my youngest’s father has been her father for as long as she can remember. Things are good, and we couldn’t be happier.”
Not Suitable for a Small Child
One commenter said, “If I felt that strongly about someone, I might say something like that to my friends. Never to a small child, though.”
Miserable and Jealous
Another said, “It sounds like she was just so miserable about her own life that she took it out on everyone she saw as living a happier life. She probably envied you and your relationship with your kid.”
Scary
Someone else said, “I would literally move houses, change names, etc; this is so scary. I really hope she stays far away from you and your family.”
Did Move
The woman responded that she had moved and would be changing her last name very soon. Although for different reasons.
Evil Woman
Another woman said, “What an evil woman to say that, let alone in front of a child. You made the right decision for you and your daughter.”
Brain Damage
One man pointed out, “It sounds to me like your MIL has something wrong with her brain. The many seizures she has could be contributing to her attitude. This might explain the terrible things she says to people’s faces and the many off-beat comments.”
Psychopath
Another man disagreed, saying, “When I read that quote, my jaw dropped. Your ex-MIL sounds like a psychopath. She deserves to never see you guys again.”
