Tell your MIL that unless she is going to treat you with the same dignity and respect she wants to be treated with, to STOP harassing you until she does so. If she still calls, texts, etc. just ignore her altogether until she comes to her senses. If she doesn't, well it's HER loss, not yours.

My sister was the same way--faking my illness, calling me names, etc. I finally stood up to her and said that I still loved her but unless she starts to treat me with the dignity and respect I deserve, to STOP harassing me. She got pissed off because she claimed it was all my fault and just stopped talking to me. Oh well....no more stress for me. Now I am better off and getting on with MY life....peaceful and quiet. :)

hang in there. ~GW
 
In-laws, what a nightmare sometimes! My MIL used to be that way too but she got a job in a hospital and asked a GI doctor what Crohn's "actually does to you"-intimating I was lying about my symptoms. Even my SIL who's an RN was the same way. Then my husband's uncle got Crohn's and they both asked him a bunch of the same type of questions-and got told off lol. Imagine-he's laying in the hospital with on ostomy and they're grilling him on "real" symptoms-it's nuts!:ywow:

I totally do not get people that act like you have to "prove" how sick you are-WTH? Why does it matter to them? Why can't they just be supportive and caring? And if for the sake of argument any of us WAS faking-how does their behavior HELP?

I cut toxic people out of my life-sometimes you have to teach people how to treat you by treating yourself with kindness first-let them know you won't tolerate any less. My husband and I have been married 17 years and most times he visited her alone-she eventually got the hint and knocked it off-by year 11 or so.

It's sooo not worth getting sick over-please take care and give yourself some TLC...hope you're feeling better soon!
 
Agreed, ignore her. There's no point in going back and forth because she has made up her mind for the moment. She may change in the future but for now let it go. Don't answer her calls or listen to her voice mails or read her texts cause they are a waste of your time and add on unneeded stress. We don't have time for people like that.
 
thank you ev 1 i agree i dont talk to her on the phone or online

thank you ev 1 i agree i dont talk to her on the phone or online she was on my facebook friends list but i took her off it a long time ago because she would try to tell me what i can and can not post she would tell me what pics i can and can not post my sister in law is the same way as her mom she treats me the same way to i have told my mother in law before not to call me or text me inless she can be nice to me


i dont think she and my sister in law will ever change more my mother in law because my husband told me before we got married his mom has always been like this she ran off all his girl friends before i met him and thats what she is trying to do but guess what its not happening ever she can try and try to but its not going to work with me she has told me or i have heard her say if it was up to her she would pick someone for her kids she even broke her daughter and her husband up and her daugher is living with her she has wanted me and my husband to move in with her to but thats sure not happeing

we know what she is up to she would try to break us up she has told me before to go home and live with my mom and my dad she dont like me being married to her son when she was calling me she called me a long time ago and was screaming and yelling at me to knock it off and telling me her son will get sick of me being sick and in pain all the time and tell me to pack my bags and go home and live with my mom and my dad by the time i got off the phone with her at the time i was crying so much and so hard i could not breath when i told my husband boy he was so pissed off at his mom and he called her and told her to leave me alone and stay out of it and told her that he better not ever ever hear her ever talking to me the way she did on the phone and he told her no one is ever going to talk down to me and he told her he better not ever hear her talking down to me again because she was doing that to i almost hang up on her when she was screaming and yelling but it would have made things worse my husband told me if she ever does it again ever to hang up on her because i dont need that and thats true he stands up to her and i do to thats what i did yeturday i stood up to her and so did my husband
 
You just can't fix crazy Sweetie-sorry you got short changed in the in-law department. We should start our own club!
 
I agree with Jeannette. I would join that club myself. I am learning not to let the mean, nasty things that my mother-in-law says get me down.
 
Stress is sooooooo hard on anyone's body!!! I am so glad I dont have a MIL lol. My husband said to bad because she was a lovely lady. She was a baker, and I would be 500 lbs by now.

MIL should NOT meddle. YOU have ask your spouse, it is gonna be me or her. Support is what you need not stress. :hang:
