What made a mother-in-law absolutely hate their child's spouse? My daughter-in-law was a cheating

addict who strung my son along through a whole pregnancy full of lies. The baby came out a few too

many shades off to pass as my sons. She even tried to take my son to court for child support

until her lawyer laid eyes on my son and told her to forget it. She stole and pawned a whole lot of my son to court for child support, until her lawyer laid eyes on my son and told her

to forget it. She stole and pawned a whole lot of my son's belongings along the way too. She never

got clean, never got help, and has done this whole thing to yet another man since then.

My grandmother hated my mother because my father was married once before, and it doesn't count

the second time. Basically, she preferred his ex to my mum because divorce. And I'm not making

assumptions based on her behaviour or things my mother said. She actually said that to me in those

exact words many times, as she gave my half-siblings gifts, but not me. Grandpa snuck me gifts behind her

back, though, because he wasn't an awful person. She was clearly a horrible person, not an average

mother-in-law who just dislikes her daughter-in-law. My parents did as much as they could to

shelter me from it, but my mum suffered her treatment for 20 years before the universe finally

saw fit to take Grandma down. As an adult,

after our father died, I had to explain to my oldest half-brother why my father limited contact

with his awesome grandma, who was apparently the nicest woman. She brought my half-brother a car,

and why it wasn't just my mother being a gargantuan witch who can't get along with anyone.

I'm a mother of three sons. One of them is married, and until very recently, I absolutely

adored my daughter-in-law. She was the daughter I didn't have. They gave me the most

amazing granddaughter. My daughter-in-law did, however, bring a level of drama to our lives

that we were not accustomed to, and it was hard to adjust to.

Being a household of primarily males, there wasn't much drama before.
