Well here's the latest..
MY WONDERFUL DH...YES, HE'S BEEN REINSTATED WITH THE 'D':smiliedance: HAS TOLD 'SMOTHER IN LAW'
NO MORE!!!!!!:yelclap:
We had a good long chat and I told him that I cannot put up with this situation any longer, and the fact that she screamed, yelled and carried on like a pork chop (that's for you Erin!:laughing: ) in our house & in front of our children was the final straw. He took the responsibility for the situation and agreed that she stepped over the line that day. I told him that I never ever wanted to get to a point where I would ask him to choose between us and his family, but I just couldn't tolerate it any longer, and that it's been almost 8 years of meddling, poisoning, terrorising and it had to stop!
The following day he called her and said that her behaviour was inexcusable and that he is not going to have any more to do with her (or the husband...but he could care less to be totally honest) and that he has decided to stick by his family (meaning us!) and do what's best for us as a family. She told him "well that's fine, you know where I live" and hung up on him.
Because the two sods are moving they were going to give us an outdoor setting (got one!) and a bbq (got one of them too!) but she called DH a couple of hours after their 'chat' and said, "so I guess you don't want the outdoor setting and the bbq?" to which he replied, "well you guessed right" and that was the end of that conversation.
It's pathetic (yet not surprising) that FIL (Monty) hasn't called to say something along the lines ... that he had nothing to do with this situation and that he should still be able to see us and the boys....yet nothing...the man could seriously care less...and to be honest, that makes it so much easier for us.
I need to add that this past week since DH stood up to her, it's been absolute bliss at our house...no quarelling over silly things...DH has been so very chipper and pleasant to be around...no moodiness or sulking...he's cracking jokes and I'm laughing because I think it's funny - not because I feel obliged!
I really think that the times that he spent with his 'smother' along contributed to the way he was feeling towards me...there were times when he was short with me, and anything I did around the house or in general was never good enough...I'm sure he was looking at me as someone who was just costing him money and not contributing to the household...and this must have been planted by public enemy #1!!!!
It's sad that it had to get to this to get some sort of resolution and peace in our lives, but we are soooooo much better for it...DH seems like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders and our family is doing great!
Looks like he grew some after all!!!! Good job :kiss:
