let me tell you some stories. these are just the first few that come to me off the top of my head

first time i met her - i went to shake her hand and she pulled back not wanting to touch me.

went to dinner once before i was married with them - they stopped in on us. we were BROKE at the time and couldn't afford to go out - but they insisted. we told them several times we couldn't afford it - they insisted. we were clear we were broke but they forced it - telling us we had to pay our own way too. (they made in excess of $100K a year). so we did it cause we were forced into it and my ex couldn't say no EVER to her mother. anyway they order some wine and ask if we want some - we say no, we can't afford it - ok. wine comes - they say here - try some - so they pour us a TASTE - a small small amount in a glass each. they drink the rest of the bottle. bill comes - they expect us to pay 1/2 the cost of the bill - we had maybe 1/4 of the cost - we ate VERY little - but they said when you go out you dont' seperate items and you split the bill in 1/2. And demanded it. We didn't eat much that week. i knew then and there i would never like this BITCH.

she wouldn't let me pick my own tux for my wedding.

they knew my parents didn't have much money - the location was ritzy for our wedding and that was their choice so they helped pay for this place. I would have paid for a much cheaper place and actually wanted a more afforadble place - as did my ex wife, but since they wanted it and said they were paying for it for their oldest daughter I said ok. anyway - my parents chip in several thousand over what they can afford to it - what they said they could afford at the begining and they had the gall to beg my parents for more at the wedding. my parents didnt' tell me that till a few years after.

my ex motherinlaw has many brothers and sisters - one family party - and they are all good people - several of her brothers and nephews were talking about mother in laws and who had the worst - they were all telling horror stories. I listened for a bit then cleared my throat. they all stoped dead - looked at me and said "you win" - this was her family and brothers.

she would call me fat and overweight rudly all thet time when my weight got out of controll - and she was a fat battleaxe herself.

I refused to borrow anything from them cause they would charge us.

i usually had new or almost cars - they had 15-20 year old junk. one day at their place I told my ex father in law to take my new car in a snow storm cause he had to go somewhere - high risk - no problem for me. insurance would cover any damage if something happened and it was way safer for him. I would let him drive my new cars any time he wanted. and he did. dozens of times. I'm like that. I never let the things I own own me. didn't bother me at all. so one day they get a new van - a safari - nothign special but new so it's nice i guess- and they pull up and are talking to us and one of the first things my ex-motherin law says is "and YOU can't ever drive it!" to me- i hadn't even asked to drive it - honestly didn't care one way or the other - even her husband was disgusted with her for that remark.


after i was seperated my parents ran into my ex's partents at an auction - my exfatherinlaw went to sit with my parents to say hello - my exmother in law wouldn't come close to them. they were selling everything they had related to the marriage. It was less than a month seperated. My inlaws NEVER called me when I seperated. My parents called my ex several times.


I had a paper proposal to my ex about the settlement. my inlaws saw it and took it to a lawyer saying it was no where near enough - must have cost my ex $20-$30K in legal fees - she ended up getting a lot less, a LOT less. lawyers don't scare me - i scare lawyers.

i can go on for hours about this bitch and how she made my life hell. my ex would never stand up to her for fear her mother would stop loving her - and you know what - she was probally right.

thank GOD i have that fucking BITCH out of my life - 10 years was enough HELL with that witch around.
