I’m sorry but I am way past pissed off. I did not wake up this morning for this crap! That’s how I felt yesterday. The day like all the other days started off badly, but as usual I put on my happy face and carried on.
The newest trend here with MIL is that when she can’t get her own way she cries, it’s not really crying as such, but more like a wail. So yesterday when I told her that her care-worker was going to be a little late she wailed because she had to wait 10 minutes longer than usual. Hubby was obviously a bit upset and told her she was selfish, which upset mummy and this resulted in the two of us getting the silent treatment.
Later that morning the Hospice Sister arrived for her weekly visit, and you’ll never guess what? MIL told her she wants to get out of this house and go to a frail care centre because we treat her badly and that on weekends we both go out and leave her alone to fend for herself. I swear this woman should win the “Liar of the Year” prize. She thinks she’s threatening us by saying she wants to move, but frankly I would welcome it!
When I confront her about telling the Sister that we leave her alone, she denies ever having told her that and claims that the Hospice Sister is a Big Liar. Right now I am as angry as hell and all this crap is as welcome as a fart in a lift.
I dread having to go into my own house sometimes because I know that I’m going to hear her complaining about either her care-worker or her son or even about me doing something wrong. If not, then I’ll have to hear her mournful wails of why God won’t just let her die.
I’m sick of it all! I’m sick of her making life miserable for everyone in the house! I’m sick of her manipulative behaviour when she cannot have what she wants. I’m sick of the silent treatments when she doesn’t get way and of the immediate change to being Mrs. Nice when she needs something.
I’m sorry but today I have nothing nice to say about my MIL. The lady has a mean streak and plays "pity” games to have her way. She is selfish and has been since I’ve known her. There was a time when the two of us were best of friends and I would overlook her selfishness, but then she did not live in my house!
The only reason I put up with this shit is because I love her son to bits and he is my best friend. I have gone out of my way to change my life and have given up a lot of things so that I could be here for her. I don’t expect her to fall to her knees in gratitude, just a little respect would be nice and less manipulating and blatant lies would be great.
Please don’t get me wrong I do not hate her I am simply so angry at what she did that I have to let off some steam!
