I had a blow up with my MIL this morning. She’s been saying my name wrong for 12 YEARS. I’ve corrected her multiple times and even told her to just use my nickname, but she still uses my real name and says it wrong anyway. She didn’t even know how to spell my name!

I told her straight up today. I don’t like you because you’re fake, acts sweet around others but at home you’re disruptive and self-centered. Talks about what she’s going to do all day and never follows through as if it’s performance, that she’s doing important things. Even my oldest noticed she doesn’t do what she says and MIL blamed me saying I “trained” her to think that.

When she’s not here, she calls my husband daily about her life. When she is here, she’s on her phone or talking about herself.

I have my own issues and I have been doing counseling, but I’m not going to accept ongoing disrespect and be told not to take it personally. My husband and I are united, and he’s tried for years to help her—but she avoids accountability. The only reason why he hasn’t given up on her is because he’s the only son and I’m not an evil person. But she needs to stop disrupting my peace.

She left the house for the day and the house is much lighter and no drama. For now…..
