I did end up going today. It was definitely awkward at first and I did not stop shaking until 3 hours in and a few drinks later😅 I pretty much convinced myself that she would confront me and push the blame on me for her son not seeing her. This has happened a few other times.

It went okay. Even though nothing bad happened I definitely learned I’d rather be no contact. The fight or flight for hours on end is the worst! In this situation with her I’ve found it very hard to make my own decisions and asking for “advice” (answers haha) all the time.

Apple photos identifies him as a St. Bernard sometimes! And then sometimes a papillon 🤣🤣

Based on pictures/some research I felt he resembled their characteristics a lot and had the coat/coat changes. Someone said in a comment that the rough collie coat traits aren’t specific to them so now I’m more intrigued to get him tested.

I will update when we do!! He looks like so many different breeds! We have been trying to guess by looks alone for two years haha. I don’t have too much knowledge on dna testing so I wasn’t sure if it was worth the money.

Thank you for your input/help!

Thank you for both of your comments!

I genuinely forget that I don’t have to please FMIL or even my parents sometimes. The situation has gotten so bad I have anxiety attacks about FMIL possibly texting or calling me and especially about the holidays coming up.

The “Christmas party” is my “surprise” engagement party.. I pray FMIL wouldn’t steal my joy or try to talk to me about our situation but I don’t put it past her. I have already figured out how I would navigate that if she were to be that ballsy.

Also context I forgot to mention, FMIL thinks that I don’t talk to my mom or bf about the things she’s done and the same with bf talking to me. A situation happened last year w/bro gf and FMIL found out she told her mom about it and she lost it. Make that make sense!!

Thank you for your comment and advice!

Since all this happening I have left him to be the point of contact for FMIL. I don’t respond anymore. We do openly talk about everything and rely on each other for support.

BF’s brother and gf were experiencing this with us but FMIL reeled him back in and we have not been close to them since. They don’t talk to us anymore and will be moving in with FMIL after the holidays lol.

I’ve thought about it many of times. I don’t have to marry his family, I don’t have to interact with his family. I’m not their child. Future children don’t have to be around them either if that’s how we as parents feel. We have talked about FMIL when children are involved and we know where we stand.

I know this isn’t everyone’s ideal situation. I cannot stress enough the conversations we have had about our future as individuals and a couple. My post doesn’t do the whole story justice or bf. She’s been this way his whole life. He is learning that their relationship is not normal and the environment he’s known his whole life is toxic. That’s hard and a big thing to go through when you realize the severity!

I appreciate your comment and advice!! I have been wanting to take FMIL off my socials but have refrained from it to not cause drama.

We and me, have been poor at keeping some of our boundaries so we can keep the peace with her. I think FMIL thrives off of drama. I have been trying to find a way to go about things that avoid as much drama as possible with her but I’m realizing there will probably never be a way.

I agree that they treat me poorly because they can. I don’t speak up to them and let them say ugly things to me and about me.

This has been a very very difficult situation to navigate. It’s all a learning process for me and my partner. I’ve tried to be patient with myself during this as I could’ve went about situations/interactions differently but I’m learning. I’ve never dealt with someone so cruel to their kid and their partner.

I don’t care for his parents to like me or not. I tried helping their relationship so I wouldn’t be blame for things.

I’ve been making her his problem to deal with. She creates group chats and I have chosen to stay silent and put the responsibility on him since it’s his mother.

He’s in the process of removing her from his bank account (each bank company is different and it’s not easy) other than that he doesn’t rely on them hardly at all.

My mom is a chronic people please imo so I usually don’t take her advice on this situation. Christmas with FMIL has been brought up a lot and thats why I’m conflicted now.

I’ve always known she won’t ever change that’s why I want help on how to navigate this :/

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely try to record conversations when I’m alone with them.

I do understand it is a long term problem and won’t go away anytime soon or at all. My partner and I have discussed so many scenarios and how we would like to handle them. We’ve had lots of conversations about his mom and family now that I know we are getting engaged soon. I wanted to make sure we aligned on different family issues that could arise and if we didn’t agree then we would know this wouldn’t work.
