The last day and my MIL........

[DianaB]

Thanks so much everyone. I know how my MIL is but still I keep letting it bother me. I've put up with all of this for years. I think that this time it was just so much in my face.....and when she mentioned the quilts that she had made....that's when I got so bothered. I've decided that I am done with her. If my husband wants to go and see her he'll have to do it without me. I'm even thinking of returning everything that I have from her (it's not much) because I don't want ANYTHING from her. I'm done.

Diana....if you don't want to keep the few things she's given you...then see if your children want them. If they don't want them, wait until she passes and then give them to her daughters. You are way too good a person to give them back to prove a point, I don't want you to have any regrets after she's gone. That would be letting her get to you after her passing.

Is she staying in Nebraska now with Brenda? I can understand not wanting to take her into your home to live. It would be a lot of work for sure. I wouldn't have wanted to take care of my in-laws either, no one had to but there were 3 daughters in the family. I am willing to take care of my mother if I have to, but feel it will be really hard if that happens. She's always been one that it's either her way or no way. Hopefully it won't have to be decided.

You're always in my thoughts and prayers my friend. I wish I could keep her actions from hurting you.
