I told my H a long time ago that him moving in with her would be a deal breaker and that isn't what I have the problem with. He isn't moving in with her, no matter where she lives.
My problem is how do I let my MIL know how much she has hurt me and pissed me off by making the offer to "THEM?" In the grand scheme of things, I don't really give a rats ass if she rents that house to her or not, its not my business and it just doesn't concern me. My issue is that she has seen what my kids and I have gone through with the A and the baby and the gambling and everything and knowing this, can still make that offer. I am stunned and betrayed and hurt and mad and etc...
Just so you all know I have made all of these feelings known to H and he understands where I'm coming from, but he just doesn't see it the same way as I do (wow...shocker!) because that is how his family operates. MIL allowed SIL and her 2 daughters to move in there when SIL was cheating on her last H with her current H and he ended up moving in there as well. Its not a healthy situation and I can honestly say that in the back of my mind I have sort of been waiting for something like this, but its so much fresher and painful when it actually happens. One of my friends IRL thinks that she just didn't think it through and its motivated more by $$ and scoring mommy points. I just don't give people that much credit anymore.
So what do I say? If I do it when I'm mad, she will shut down and be defensive, and the mad is to cover the hurt. I am ususally fairly articulate, but I'm having a hard time putting this one into words.
