Revenge on my mother in law: a confession
« on: November 11, 2009, 12:46:44 PM »
I have long felt that my mother in law (who is intensely religious) has the capacity to be quite venomous. Some months ago a family scandal broke and it was decreed that she must know nothing about it: too delicate!

She is not, however, so delicate that she can call me at all hours and give me what for and also, and this is really wrong and bad, call my sister and "drip poison". My sister gave her a good verbal going over eveilgrin:

That was a bridge too far, so I called her and suggested that if she wanted to involve herself in family affairs she might start closer to home  eveilgrin: - like with her nephew in Glasgow. "He is a good Catholic and family man" she yelled.

Really?

My grandmother was charming on the surface but had the ability to quite vile and spiteful when it suited her. Thus she made my mother's life hell at times (her daughter-in-law). When confronted with the actions of one of her other sons (my uncle, if you managing to follow this  ;) ) she went into complete denial and claimed my mother was delusional. She wasn't; my uncle's actions and behaviour were a matter of record.

Good point, well made but I doubt that Mrs Nick gave you any credit for it.

Tell her it's inconvenient for you to talk right now...... whistle:

If she wants a sounding board tell her to go and talk to her own family as they have all the answers  whistle:

Well you read what he did. He is now unemployed and unemployable. All I did was go nuts and try to jump in front of a train. Quite reasonable in the circs IMHO.

Apart from the fact that you are our pal and Mrs Nick is not, I think the consensus is that you did the right thing.

Seriously though - you may find the concept of reasonableness a bit difficult to discuss with them right now  noooo:

For what it's worth I have no problem with what you did.  The MIL rather than the whole train thing.  There sometimes comes a time when retaliation is the only sensible option, for many reasons, your own sanity being one of them. eveilgrin:
