This is the first I've seen of this and I'm so horrified. I'm trying to imagine what I would do in this situation. I'm pretty sure I'd have actually called the police to try to press charges immediately. Like, while my husband was retrieving the child. Also locks would be changed. immediately. Also husband can have a key to the new locks when he realizes his mother is a fucking kidnapper and has no place in their lives.

I wanted to vomit just reading this! I can't imagine how horrible that would've felt. She must feel so betrayed. Don't f@$# Wth mama bears.
-
Wow what a crazy horrifying story...So happy the baby is safe and that the mum is doing what she must so make the in-laws realise that this is not normal...
-
What in actual f$&@! How can any sane person think that sneaking in and stealing a newborn from her sleeping parents is OK? Her MIL is clearly crazy. I am appalled by her husband's reaction.
-
I showed this to DH last night and he said that he'd have his own mother thrown in jail if she did something like that. I can't believe her husband doesn't see how batsh*t crazy this is.
-
@Anagram: The update was that she took the baby to a hotel and didn't tell her husband where they were, just that they were safe and that her mother was flying out to help her and offer her support. She also talks about how she's going to start therapy and perhaps one day do therapy with her husband, but she doesn't really see how they can ever move past this because he and the MIL STILL insist that the baby was safe, so they don't see what the big deal is.

@Anagram: She added it to her original post at the bottom.
She said that she was going to the police to get a restraining order on her.
"Update: I just wanted to give everyone a quick update. I didn't respond but I've read every comment and the support I got has meant so much to me. I bawled reading them because I finally felt like someone was on my side. I called my mom late last night and I got a hotel. I refused to tell my husband where I was going but told him the baby and I would be safe. My mom is disgusted about what I've been through. She's getting on a plane today to come help me. This entire experience has pushed me to the point that I need therapy so today my first order of business is getting a therapist set up asap. I decided to go alone for a while and when I'm ready, go with my husband to see if there is a chance to move past this. Right now I still don't want to but I also agree I'm not in the place to make life changing decisions. Either way, I can never move back into that house. I don't know what my plan is past these next few days yet but I'm just going to take it day by day for right now. As for my MIL, I'm going to go to the police today to find out how to get a restraining order. Her and my husband keep saying "but she was safe! She was never on danger!" I disagree. My MIL is clearly not mentally capable to care for a child. Who knows what else she would do because she feels she knows best.
Thank you all so much. I can't tell you how much the support from some Internet strangers has meant to me." -
I would need to at least separate from my husband for awhile if that happened and he reacted the way hers did. I hope she filed a report with the police and got a restraining order from that crazy lady.
-
That must have been terrifying. Thank goodness her mother is going to be there for her because I cannot imagine dealing with both her MIL and husband behaving this way with all the other pp/newborn stuff.
