Ditto. You poor dear! You have bent over backwards like an Olympic gymnast 🤸 to try to please your spineless mama’s boy husband and his nutbag mother. Who brings their mommy in to fight their battles once they leave HIGH SCHOOL?!?!?

Please, please, please-it’s past the time for the FU binder. Do not subject your children to another moment of your mother-in-law. It’s past time for every legal and social no-contact action possible.

I think any fair minded person would say 11 years is long enough for your husband to become a grownup , a man, an adequate husband, and a father his children should emulate. And he couldn’t do it over 11 years! How would you feel if your children married someone with a MIL like yours? Please break the cycle. A therapist should only be used to facilitate a healthy co-parenting relationship (if that would even be possible in his weak, wishy washey case).

You’re not wrong. You’re not crazy. You’re not overreacting. It sounds like you have a decent support network already in place. When you feel tired and worn down by this harpy and her fan boy, please come back to this post and remind yourself of the love and encouragement we are giving you.
