follow up on crazy MIL
I wrote on her about a week ago about my MIL being horrible and saying stuff about our son that we lost and me and asked for advice.thank you by the way,it helped me realize it isn't just me.
She is cut out,helped along by a very nasty facebook post and comment posted the day after I talked to DH about it.He was livid and text her this was it and explained how horrible he thought she had been about our son and to me and that would be the end. He blocked her on his phone,tried to on mine but it isn't set up for it.
then got HORRIBLE texts and voice mails from his mom,brother,and aunt who had nothing to do with it just likes drama.the things his brother said made me sick,not joking. His brother is the most immature 19 i know but is usually just the goofy,no job,will live with mom and dad forever type...to quote him"you need to learn how to be a married man" WTH!!? my husband is 100x the man this BOY will ever be!and DH is being a husband,he is standing up for his family.aka his WIFE and baby.
Re: follow up on crazy MIL
Find a way to block their numbers. Maybe call customer support for you phone provider. Cut out all of them.
If that doesn't work I would honestly get a new phone number.
Until then, don't read any of their texts. Delete it immediately. Don't punish yourself.
Ditto.
I'm sorry you're dealing with this.
Block their phone numbers, or just cancel your phone number and get a new one. Block them on Facebook and block their e-mails, too. If they send you letters, return them unopened. Don't open the door for them if they come to your house (if they have your spare key, change your locks). If they still manage to get a message through to you, ignore it, even if you have to hang up the phone or slam the door in their faces.
If absolutely necessary, go to the police and file a restraining order.
Sorry that they're being so cruel, but thank goodness you have a good husband who will stand up to them for you.
For love of all holy and for the sake of your collective sanities, discontinue contact with these pigs once and for all.
No explanation is given. Simply cut them off; no contact, no phone calls, block them, change your numbers, no reply on the snail mail and cops to your house if they darken your door by 20 feet ---- tough sh!t on them all.
I also lost a child and I can see how having a family drama can sometimes give you something to focus your anger on but for your health and sanity you all just need to stop with them. Think of them as being dead to you. Block everything, everything. You don't need to hear from them for the rest of your life.
I really don't know why you and your H put up with them for as long as you did.
And the advice about the restraining order is an excellent one.
Mean is one thing; the entire funky bunch sounds mentally ill to me.
Wishing you luck with this; you and your H need them like a fish needs a bike.
Katie Talks About...
I agree with PP - change your contact info entirely. If other family members want to contact you, until they prove they can act in a mature fashion, you can welcome them to write you a letter and mail it (then you have tangible evidence of wrong doing if needed).
If it escalates (it could, these people sound nuts) don't shy away from filing harassment complaints.
I'm so sorry you have to deal with this crap!
