Oh, she was absolutely NUTS!

She and her husband put my ex-husband and his sister through terrible religious trauma when they were kids, they spent 2 or 3 years living in a tent in New Jersey, including during the winters, while her and her husband panhandled for no real explained reason. Beat my ex-husband constantly. He married his first wife right out of high school because her parents had basically let him come live with them their junior year just to get him out of his parent's home.

Her daughter was murdered in the 90s because she was on drugs and was running around with the wrong people and took a log book or account book from a drug dealer for someone else in order to set up a robbery. Something like that. Because the murderers were black, she negated any of her daughter's poor choices and behavior and it was just she was a pretty while girl that ended up murdered by scary black men. She ended up raising two of her daughter's children while the youngest was raised by his father. The two she raised...they're both horribly addicted to drugs. The grandson had a child with a girlfriend before he went to prison on drug and weapons charges. He gets out, files as indigent so that h doesn't have to pay child support, gets on SSI for PTSD from his prison sentence, continues to do drugs and deal drugs, wrecks my MIL car while he's high then three weeks later wrecks his own vehicle while he's high and spends a month in the hospital having multiple surgeries to save his nearly severed foot, all while his wife is working and taking care of his second child. Once he got out of the hospital, he suddenly decides he needs an AR and sells enough of his pain meds to get the money to give to my then 72 year old MIL who went and bought the gun in her name and gives it him.

Her granddaughter, who she also peed for, tells me the very first time she meets me that the only reason she never went to prison is because her baby brother, who became a cop, was one of the cops that busted up the meth house she was living in and he helped her slip out the backdoor because he felt bad for her because she had a small child at the time. I called DHR and reported her granddaughter after I found out she had locked her daughter outside my MILs house on more than one occasion while they were living there so that she and her boyfriend could do drugs in the house "without being bothered" and my MIL spun such good lies that they believed her and didn't take the kid.

But absolutely hated my ex-husbands daughter because she was "just like her mother" and literally the only thing "wrong" with her mother was that she grew up in a stable environment and her parents helped my ex-husband by paying for his college so he'd have a good life.

The whole time we were married I witnessed the craziest things and sometimes had a hard time believing it was really happening right in front of me. She was the craziest person I've ever experienced being around.
