@Rubies: So what happened?? Let us know!
-
That's crazy! She could have at least asked!

Okay, so when DH came home I, as calmly as possible, explained to him what his mother did and how angry I was. DH, knowing how crazy his mother is, started cracking up and it made my head explode so I started yelling at HIM for being unsympathetic and not understanding how it was making me feel. He immediately apologized as he saw how angry I was (in his defence, he was just laughing at how psychotic his mother is, not because he was taking it lightly)...I feel a little bad because I said, "I can say for sure now that I HATE your mother"! Which isn't entirely true...I was just angry.
Anyway, he immediately called his mother but with the crazy storms and power outages and whatnot, DH was unable to contact his mother all evening. So this morning, before I left for work, I said, "If you don't talk to your mother byt the end of the day, I will and you and I both know how that will go." He snickered and said, "I kind of want to see it all go down...Just kidding, don't call my mom, I'll do it."

@Rubies: I can't believe she's been doing that! That is so rude, not to mention insulting. I hope your husband can get her to back off, that is a serious breach of trust and would definitely make me very, very angry. Thankfully, my MIL wouldn't do that, even if she knew how to use the internet, but it sounds like something my SIL would do.

@Rubies: Massive hugs. The line about hating your MIL is harsh. There may be some drawn out consequences from that. There were definitely drawn out consequences when I verbalized wanting to leave during the hellish week his mom put us through. Depending upon how your DH takes it, there might be some tense times after that. My DH got super defensive of his mom even as she was actively attempting to destroy our marriage and family.
For me, I verbalize my very, very, very strong dislike of my MIL here and to friends, but never to him since counseling started. Only in counseling can I freely say what a nutcase she is and how it effects our marriage.
That's just my warning to you about saying those tough things to your spouse who might go defensive of his batshit crazy MIL. Otherwise, I'm mad for you. My MIL wouldn't be welcome in my life at all if she did that with my email address. She's barely welcome in my life right now after making my first year with my son and marriage difficult with depression.

@cascademom: Yeah...My relationship with my MIL went from AWESOMENESS (when we were engaged) to MEH (when we go married) to UGH! (now that we have a child) because she likes to control everything. I don't actually hate her...And luckily for me, DH knows this. He knows how crazy his mother gets and agrees that she has no boundaries. Of course that doesn't excuse what I said and I clarified later to him that I didn't actually mean it. It's all good in the hood (for now)...Thank you for your warning/concern.

@Rubies: LOL, your DH is awesome. I'm sure he knows it was just said in frustration!
-
@Rubies: That's good that everything's okay. My MIL's never liked me or really anyone DH has ever been with. Marrying him just proved how she thought that she would be the only woman in his life. Boundaries, what are those? according to her. At least your DH acknowledges that she has issues and boundary problems, that's a really good start. You might want to pick up Toxic Inlaws. It helps to understand personalities like hers.

@Rubies: that's funny. But it could be worse! At least she not buying things with your credit card. How did she get your email password anyways?
-
@Rubies: How did it go?
-
Ugh that is way annoying - I would be so pissed!!
-
@Rubies: ugh that is obnoxious!! Boundaries, people!
-
So did he talk to her? That is just so crazy!
-
Yikes! What the heck?
