Loneliness

15 YEARS!!!

My DH and I have been married for well over 15 yrs, with 3 wonderful DDs to show for it. We have never had many issues with the ILs before, only with MY family. I didn't have a wonderful relationship with either of my parents, and my DH was kind enough to help me through setting boundaries up for them. I decided when my first DD was born, that either they would be loving parents who were involved in our children's lives - or they can check out of our lives immediately. This worked wonderfully for us, and has continued to work for MY side of the family.

I apologize is this is too long for some people, but I have been loudly fuming for years over some of the things the ILs have done to us. I have watched this site everyday, and have used some of the words written by others to help work for my own life. Any feedback would be appreciated, and advice muchly needed. It seems that I can be very stubborn (hehe), and it is driving my husband nuts.

This all started when we were dating. We met online (which was a "new thing" back then), and after months of dating we finally moved in together - eventually getting married with no family present (drove them all nuts!). He was originally from a different state, and really close to his family. I was worried that he was a mommy's boy at first, because the witch would constantly call him day/night. Finally, we set a rule that she can only call during daylight time (Noon-9pm) because she was randomly calling in the middle of the night just to say meaningless things to him (she can't sleep, etc).

I only got the nerve to set down the ground rules for that because she interrupted us making our first DD together. I hit the roof over it. After my DH calmed her down (emotional fits etc), we figured it was all over with and she finally understood. OH NO! I was mistaken. She wound up waking up his entire family (people I had never met before), and saying that I had banned him from her. Obviously, making me look like a bad guy. We received well over 10 calls that night at 2am, and my DH had to explain the situation to every single one of them. It was mortifying, and the twisting has not stopped since.

When we announced to the family that we were going to have our first DD, his mother's response was to ask to speak to me. I stupidly thought she was going to congratulate us. Wrong! The witch had the nerve to ask if it was REALLY his! She wound up twisting him around so much that even HE asked for a paternity test for a couple of weeks. After seeing the light, we explained to her that our sex life was none of her business (enter emotional fits and more calls from relatives).

When that all settled down, she insisted on naming our daughter for us. I had picked out a wonderful Irish/Gaelic name for her, and we were both set on it (this is how we named all of our children). For months, during the pregnancy and even after, she continued to harass us to name our daughter Virgin or Tulip. I sh!t you not. She has still not let this one go.

After little contact with her, and very little response via email on our part, we figured it wouldn't be a big deal to go to his hometown for a week or two (we had 2 DDs by then, both young 3 and 2). My aunt lives in the same area and had recently lost her daughter. My cousin had been sick for a very long time, and finally passed away. Since my aunt was having problems grieving, we offered for my husband and DDs to visit his family and for me to help my aunt cope.

The visit went better then expected. We had driven over 48 hrs to get there, and on the day we left (not even an hour into our drive) we received a phone call from MIL.

Let's take a break for a minute. LOL I will strictly state that I do NOT beat my kids. :) I am strict with our form of discipline for them (at such a young age usually telling them no or giving them a small time-out worked best for them), and my husband attests to how loving I am with them. We spoil them rotten, but we make sure that they understand right from wrong. It can be difficult, but when one of US needs a break - we call each other and talk for 5 minutes to calm down. It works for us. Anywho...

MIL calls MY phone, not DH's phone - which was weird since she hates me, and claims that GMIL (who we had only seen once on the trip) saw me beat my eldest DD. She wound up screaming at me for over 15minutes (I was in tears, and my DH put it on speaker so he could hear) about how I took my eldest DD into the bedroom and slapped her around. My DH and I were stunned, angry, and upset about it. We wanted to know how this rumor started, and what was the meaning of the call - we had literally JUST left.

You're going to LOVE this! Apparently, a friend of GMIL saw me take my eldest DD for nap that day (kids didn't have a nap that day, but w/e) before we left and heard screaming from the room. I, apparently, was slapping my eldest across the face and screaming at her. Mind you, I had never met this friend nor heard of her before now. They did NOT have a nap that day, we wanted them tired for the lengthy road trip. I do NOT slap my children, abuse of any form is not tolerated in my house. (I think the only response I had at the time was to ask if GMIL was drinking. LOL This later got turned into me calling GMIL a drunk.)

My DH had a stroke of genius, we could continue the trip home and turn off our cellphones. We did this for the next two days driving back, and talked amongst ourselves of what our course of action would be. Apparently, it had all blown up in our faces as we were driving home. Best time to strike is when the other person can't defend themself right?

Got home, and I turn on my cellphone. Lots of angry messages calling me a horrible, abusive mother and a ton of threats. Then, I get a call from my grieving aunt whom I had been visiting. Apparently, my facebook page (which is mainly used to put updated pictures of the kids on) was lit up by the ILs. The MIL and GMIL had messaged every single person on my friend's list, trashing DH and I. I was threatened with CPS and with bodily harm, at least 10x, by the ILs since we had last talked on the phone.  She even contacted my ex-DH, whom I was married to for 10 years.  He is actually still close friends with DH and I.  He told MIL and GMIL off. LOL

It is now almost a year later, and one more DD later, and I still continue to receive random nasty messages from the GMIL. While she is telling DH that she wants to bury the hatchet, she is sending a horrible email to me THAT SAME DAY! I will attach one of them at the end of this, so you all can understand what I have had to go through for the past year. It took a lot of work and a lot of apologies on behalf of the ILs to every single person they messaged (most of which told them off in response to the messages).

We have had almost no contact with MIL. She claims she is very sorry for believing what GMIL claimed. But, part of me doesn't buy it. She has seen me with my kids, as have many other people they messaged, and even said she didn't think it possible of me. So, I find it hard to forgive her.

I find it hard to forgive GMIL because of the rift she has caused between my family and DH's family. I felt it was unjustified and uncalled for. She didn't even have PROOF and she attacked me like that. Yet, all the while I was there, she was trying to convince me it was okay to take a pan to my daughter's head when she doesn't listen to me! The nerve!

Anyways, my DH is angry that I just cannot let it go. As a mother, that is the worst thing to be accused of. As an ADA, I see cases like that all the time. It astounds me that it could even be considered! I'm just not sure what to think now. I can't find it in me to let it go, but I'm starting to wonder if I should.

Message from GMIL 2 weeks ago:
Im not sorry you are upset with me , because you upset a lot of people who love DH,and we defend our own.Now I cantacted your aunt * about something that SIL and Friend saw when they went down to the basement to start cleaning ,and I was really concerned about it .They told me you slapped Kinsey (this is not my DD1's name) and rushed her into the bedroom when you knew they were there ,I know the kids drive you crazy but thats not the way to handle them,and you know that .I wanted to know if Aunt knew what made you get upset so easy about everything ,and it seems you are never happy about anything or anyone , and its seems that it would really be easy for you to slapp the kids around a bit ,I dont believe I have ever met a person so negative about everyting as you are ,its sad ,because you have a wonderful family and friends who could love you very much , but you want let them. No there was nothing bad about you on facebook my message was private ,just read it.And you need to see someone about your negativity ,get some happiness in your life .


By the way I called DH to about my concerns about the babies

~I did NOT respond or call her. Neither did DH or anyone we know.~


GMIL message from 1 week ago:
Well ,lets see where to start ,DH says its embarassing about facebook, I cant see why, when nothing was posted on facebook,and you know that, your just trying to cover up something ,you dont want anyone to know the truth, but you know ,I can post everything I know on UTube Twitter and facebook, if you keep making DH feel bad ,I just might do that ,and another thing you made me feel hurt and embarassed the way you treated DH the whole time you were here,every body in this family saw the type of person you are ,and the tooth ache ,you didn't give a damn about him in that kind of pain .The flea market day really showed me the real you .selfish ,didn't give a damn about anyone but yourself .
Now about the babies ,I didnt see you ever hit them but two other people did ,and the way you talk to them as, and I quote [SHUT THE F*CK UP] I wonder what a court of law would say to that and there are witnesses to all you said to them .And you call yourself a mother ,you sleep till lunchtime everyday [[you have games to play at night ]],this is such a childish thing to do especially when you have little kids ,its stupid, what do these babies do when you sleep most of the day , Oh I know you leave it to DH ,you left them alone and went out to eat Fridaty Night,and we are wondering how many times a week you do that ,you know that we know you do this , I just wonder what the hell did you have kids for,oh ,I know ,you trapped DH with DD2 ,and I'm wondering if you did the same thing with Kinsey (I think she means DD1),is that the only way you can keep a man .You cant be around thoes kids 15 min until your going looney ,you need some help girl before you ruin these llittle lives. An the incident where DD2 fell out of a carrier is in question????
You know what is wrong with us?, is that you have never acknowledged DH ever on Facebook or any where else ,its like he dosen't exist . I saw him getting really tired always taking care of the babies waiting for you to get out of bed everyday ,yeah I am really mad with you about how you treat such a sweet person,its like hes only your Nanny ,and you can bet that any way I can stop you Im going to do it you are only a USER in the worst way
I have one phone number I could call and blow your world apart, I suggest you start treating DH like he matters and if you want to be with him then leave now,and if you dont then send him home ,and we will forget you and DD2 ever existed ,Dont you dare call me a drunk again you liar I cant wait to get things started

~Some clarifications:
When we go on vacation, it's Mommy's vacation too.  Normally, I take care of the children 24-7 and work a full-time job.  I work to pay bills, and he works part time. It took him 9 years to get the one job he DOES have.  Otherwise, he sleeps all day and I take care of EVERYTHING else.  That includes mowing the lawn.  So, when I'm helping my grieving aunt while on vacation - you can bet your ass, I will be taking a vacation.

When we visited, I drove over 4 hrs each way to visit my aunt so we could stay closer to DH's family for more quality time. My cousin had just died two months ago. I went down everyday we were there, and only had 3 hrs of sleep each day during naptime (would leave my aunt around 8am, and head there around 5pm - the family was doing suicide watch shifts).

I went out on Friday morning to visit my aunt for the final time, before leaving.  I wanted to make sure that she was okay, and not as depressed as she had been.  I was never really close to my mother's side of the family, but when my aunt reached out to me for some support when I was in the area (at the request of my mother, I agreed) I decided I had no choice.  She was so depressed that she was hospitalized twice while in my care, visiting her.

After 4 days, we decided to call our trip done because a blizzard was rolling in and would close down the roads for our trip home. We DID get caught in the blizzard otw home, and had to stay at a crummy motel for 2 days till the roads opened up again.

We went to a flea market twice, and I spent MY hard-earned money on a few pieces for our new house. We live in a small town, and do not get out much to do it at home. No flea markets here - big bummer!

If you noticed from the letter, GMIL only cares about DD2...and in the end of the 2nd letter, she tells me she will act like DD2 doesn't exist. I'm not sure why she acted like this - OR why they act like OUR children are supposedly different. She didn't even mention DD3, and for the life of her doesn't know DD1's name - it's not even close.

DH DID have a tooth problem. He refused to see a dentist before the trip, and instead had it pulled while we were visiting the last day. His choice, not mine. I made sure to drive him to and from the dentist, and took over watching the kiddlings until we left.

No, I did not say "shut the f*ck up". I told DD1 to stop screetching in my ear, exactly like that. I said "stop screeching".  I also don't spank or hit my children, it's a rule in my house.  Anyone that knows me, knows I don't touch my kids in anger.

Carrier issue with DD2 was that DH was carrying DD2 in a car seat, getting ready to put her into the car and the car seat handle snapped. She was 6 months old at the time. I freaked, came home from work and made us go to the hospital for an overnight stay jic there was swelling. I personally had those car seats removed from the shelves at our local store and filed a complaint to the manufacturer. They are no longer sold.

I am also not sure what game I play at night. I do my work on my laptop at night, and sometimes cannot sleep because I have so much to do. DH does not work as much, and he doesn't mind his role in our house.  DH plays games at night, I don't.  Also, what we do with our personal time is NONE of her business.  Especially if it doesn't effect the children.

I LOVE the threats by the way.  She's full of them.  I also have friends who work for CPS, as I've been working on my master's in social work.  But, okay, keep threatening from 10 states away.



Like I said, it's been eating me up constantly since it happened. It hasn't ended. If ANYONE has any suggestions, please let me know. DH thinks that she is being nice to me, even after seeing the messages. All he hears is me complaining and getting mad about the messages, and then her getting mad that I haven't forgiven her yet. I'm sorely tempted to just cut her out. Such a mess.
