Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Is it wrong to dislike your mother-in-law? Dislike her alot? To tell you a little about her...
On our wedding day, she hid our rings in her car right before I had to walk down the isle and told everyone she didn't know where they were. My husband thought I didn't come down because I didn't want to marry him!
When we moved she said I wanted to move and my husband didn't but I was making him (eventhough he brought it up and we BOTH decided) and she said that she knew it was my fault because her "little buddy" (my hubby) would never do something like that but I'm the kind of person that would.
She keeps asking about when we are going to make her a grandma and I told her if she wants grandchildren to go tell you other son to get started because we don't want kids and she said we have to HAVE kids because none of her other kids a married and she doesn't want to wait.
And the most recent...I got subpoenaed because of her.
There are many many other things that I would rather not get in to too much detail about (like trying to convince me to divorce him) I just figured before you tell me whether or not I'm a bitch because I hate her, I would tell you some of the NICEST things she has done.
So am I a bitch? We have to go see her in 2 days and I don't want to. I told my husband that I wasn't going but he said he wants to spend time with me out of the house. And he doesn't have a problem with anything his mom has done because in his eyes his mom can do no wrong!! She could kill me and he no matter how much he loves me he wouldn't care! So...What do you think? Bitch or not?
P.S. If you have a story you think will make me feel better please share it. I don't think anyone can hate another person more than I hate her and don't want to see her this weekend let alone ever again!

I haven't felt this bad since 2015. I hate it. I know exactly what's going on, I'm no stranger to depression but I can't get the motivation to get out of bed today even though I know it would help. It's 2:30 p.m. and I'm still in bed. My husband jokes that I'm a grizzly bear. He knows about my depression. I don't know if he doesn't realize how bad I feel or if he just doesn't know how to...

I have been thinking of leaving my DH for years. I have given up hope of him being able to talk to me, be honest to me, not lie, be able to discuss things, not be secretive, care about me and put any effort into our marriage. There is nothing physical between us and he makes sure when in bed not to even let our skin touch. i have tried so many times to talk to him even saying that i am looking...
Sorry.
In this woman's eyes, no other woman will be good enough for her "little buddy" and only she can know and provide what he needs. So any woman who comes along is cannon fodder as far as she is concerned. Anything that you guys try to do that doesn't meet her approval is because of the the wife (you) and even if he tries to explain that to her himself she will be convinced that you put him up to it.
You could always get some counselling advice on how to handle her and it will give you an insight on why she behaves like this but it's not likely to be successful in resolving the issues. Perhaps the MIL is co-dependant on her son for some reason and is desperately afraid that she will lose her son because now his attention is divided between 2 of the most important women in his life.
As for the subpoena......seek legal advice on the matter and soon
The first 7 years of our realtionship were miserable, because he always defended her to me. I finally told him unless he decided to put me first in our marriage, cut the cord with his Mother, and grow up...I was thru with our relationship. He married me, not his Mother. Well, he cut the cord, so to speak. But, I do think he resents it deep down inside...Good Luck!
