Just want to see if anyone can weigh in on an on going situation with my mother in law. This has been going on apparently since before the separation.
Sometime around October/November, my wife found a contractor to fix her mom's roof. Apparently, from the get go the contractor started hitting on my wife and my mother in law encouraged it. In November when he actually started working on the roof is when things went down hill for me. The entire time my mother in law encouraged it. The three of them became friends on social media, and since this guy likes tie dye my mother in law was posting tie dye wedding dresses on my wife's pintrest! Fast forward to now.
I reached out to my MIL at the beginning. She didn't respond. Then she sent me a text about what a horrible person I am. When I caught her cheating on me, MIL sent me another text about what a jerk I am and how SHE wouldn't even let me be near the stepboys if it were up to her.
She also started two Pintrest boards. One she had "Things for her daughter" and one she started in January "For TR you know who you are... My daughter's loser husband" The one for my W has quotes about getting out and moving on, quotes about dealing with a psychopath and narcissist. The one for me has quotes about being emotionally abusive, how I will regret losing her (uhm yeah!!!!), calling my a piece of poop, and so on. She actually has over 100 quotes about me. I try to laugh it off thinking it make her look bad and batsh*t crazy, but it also gets to me.
Here are my questions, first how do you deal with such negativity? When MIL's brother died and they went to clean out his apartment, to my wife I said how hard that must have been for her mom. But really with all my DBing efforts, if her mom is that against me, how much will really work? The only comfort I can think of is in time her mom will start turning on her, saying my W is only using her for financial support, they will fight and then become ok with each other again. Any suggestions?
