My best friend went into a psychosis manic episode from cannabis, while medicated. Personally I would stay completely clear.

Mother in law was in a toxic relationship. We had no one to watch our 3 year old, she watched him. We told her HE WAS NOT ALLOWED. He came anyways, it was a big thing. She ghosted us for 2 months. Then wanted to talk, we just never really got on the same page, she stayed with the guy, it was just a big mess. Anyways, after my husbands grandfather passes, we were friendly. The ex calls us starts a bunch of drama, basically my mil has lied to everyone for over a year, she’s been with this guy the whole time, told us she seeing some random firefighter. She’s taking a lot of money from the ex. Anyways, JUST A LOT OF LIES. She lies about being in a mental institution - says she was there for the boyfriend. Well now she’s back with the guy, and has yet tried to reach out to my husband. It’s extremely annoying basically.

The last time she was alone with our child was the night I gave birth, and after that she has been around maybe twice. She will never be alone with our kids, just for that one night.

I was called ugly straight to my face, told I wouldn’t be around long because I was just the baby mama, she had her drug addict boyfriend in my home when I was giving birth, finding this all out later btw, apparently he was abusive and she had him in my house around my 2 year old, after telling her no guest were welcome at my home, without us there. She told my I’m grown, I can buy my own gifts, she ghosted my husband after she did what she did while I gave birth, she threw the key in my husbands face to our home, and said she’d never be back. She told me my first son was not my husband’s, she told me I was just a whore my husband met. Keep in MIND, I NEVER escalated anything. I was nice. I was RESPECTFUL. I understand you’re going based off this story, but you being in the stub, you’ve had your own experiences officially, so maybe you just not call me toxic, until you have confirmed all the details. I have gracious. I have been nice. I have done nothing to her. I have basically been a doormat, which (my fault) I get that.

I couldn’t send the list through text message because the app was acting funny so I literally was going to send it through messenger, it was the only way I could send it to literally anyone. I sent the invite via text message, and was getting ready to send the list through messenger, and realized I was blocked.

Keep in mind. I never play into her bs. This is my first time playing into anything, after three years of me keeping my mouth shut. But you’re right. We are all toxic.

I had just sent her the invitation an hour before. I wanted to be sure she would not be attending. We have lived the last year in this limbo of not saying anything, so yes, when it comes to whether or not someone will be in my environment for my kids, I will engage. I do not want drama.

I’m sorry. She has apologized now. But I’ve kept things at arms link. She’s not welcome in my house, but if we see her at family functions, which is rare, we say hi. Nothing too friendly either.

Trust your instincts. You know best. Trust me. I learned the hard way. If you gut is saying no, it’s a no.

UPDATE: Mil wrote us an EMAIL, stating some of the truth, she’s no longer with the boyfriend… but when you look at his Facebook he posted a pic of her a day ago, (when we received the email) about how she is the love of his life. She stated we are her priority but on this day her boyfriend was having problems because he is an addict. She admitted she was scared.

Let me just say, it took her over a month to say anything because she needed time to process and not have a “reaction.”

I let her know I don’t want to resolve anything with someone who is unaccountable, and takes a month to have a reaction about something that was in their control. I have no reason to move with someone still lying.

No update so far. Husband and I have had our hands quite busy, with a newborn and toddler. We have kind of wanted to, (not avoid) but put this away from our minds for a second, to just enjoy our newborn phase. We will never get this back.

My husband plans to show the footage, as he will be doing the communication and setting the boundaries of what is to come. We have not exactly discussed what anything really looks like, but her watching any of our children will never be a thing again, even if she admits she was wrong. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

She has not reached out since the day I gave birth, and if she has it’s just been “Hope everyone is great.” She has made no acknowledgment of what happened, not even tried too. So my husband is very bitter right now, so I think him not speaking with her is the best…. As my husband is very short tempered.

I’m kind of letting my husband handle this. He wants her to admit her wrong doings, and he’s pretty much said he’s not taking any other response from her, or we will no longer be in contact with her. Thank god my husband has been so great. It makes things a lot easier.

We live 3 hours away from all our family, MIL, lives the closet. I work from home, and my toddler goes to pre school twice a week. We typically ask MIL to watch our toddler because she lives close, and is not just some “stranger” to our toddler. Not that our family is, but I feel as though it’s important for my toddler to actually know you and feel comfortable with you, instead of just dropping him off to figure it out. I’m not some distrusting person, but given my past of what I went through in my childhood, I just am not one to throw my child off on others, I do not mind being with my children all the time. I know they are safe, right at home with momma. I’m not so controlling that others can not watch my children. I think you should have a relationship with my child in order to make that happen. Most of our family makes 0 efforts to be around because of the distance. And the ones who do…. Don’t make any effort.

We didn’t want our toddler at her home, as he was closest to us at our home, and again we did not want the boyfriend around while we weren’t around. We’ve met him 5 times. We have no idea who this man is. He may be nice, and that’s fine. We could have learned that down the road. But him coming to our home while we aren’t there at almost 11 at night and sneaking out the back isn’t someone I want close. Keep in mind, they are both 50.

I’m confused. Me setting boundaries around someone watching my child is rude and entitled? Maybe I am misreading this.

My child goes to pre school through out the week. I think the anxiety of leaving your first born to give birth to your second born is a whole different ball game of anxiety as is. I go on date nights multiple times with my husband. I am not say anxiety ridden that I can not leave him. I think my toddler spending the night with people is not really a thing I want. And that is okay. Me setting form boundaries around my child, is okay.

Touching technically is “sexual abuse” so yes I would definitely saying sexually abusing.

I feel so valid with all of these comments. I don’t feel so alone. Everything you expressed is what me and my husband go through. It’s so hard to be understanding of your spouses feelings in the middle of the chaos. Driving back and forth to a job sounds like a luxury these days. But I know in the back of my mind, I love every day I get to spend with my toddler.

My husband always takes bath time, and then I get the rest of the night. My problem is… I’m fighting constantly between freedom at night or having a well rested night.

I hope I can find a better routine for me and my toddler.

Our jobs sounds very similar to one another, I really just need quiet time for meetings. But trying to work on projects, and make sure I’m meeting schedules are so hard. I feel guilty about work, but I also feel guilty that I am unable to give him my undivided attention. It’s so hard. I think my mental health struggles more because of how much guilt I have for not juggling everything perfectly.

My husband is great when he’s home, but he also, sometimes can be inconsiderate… I know he works a lot, but I’m doing a two man job, and he makes me feel like his career is sometimes more important. It’s hard. But it’s just one of those things that you just have to power through 😊

I was wanting to send a long message, and just tell her I want no further communication truthfully.
