And the beat goes on...

Jar-

I'm just wondering if our MIL's were related!! My MIL (may she rest in peace), could be very manipulative. She always got what she wanted. She would defend her boys to the end, but then turn around out of sight of others and call them every name in the book and tell them they weren't worth anything. There was a point when my H and I were first together that things were so bad he told me that I would likely never meet his mom. She could turn anything around to make it seem like it was your fault. I remember my FIL getting upset because he'd gone to use his credit card and she'd maxed it out. He was embarrased because he, H and I were out shopping and we had to pay for what he was buying. When we got home, he told her that they owed us money. She somehow turned it around and made it his fault. I was amazed at how she was able to do it, but she did. No wonder why my H has self-esteem issues.
