How should I deal with my Nightmare-in-Law?

[Lord Doobie]

Uh oh...there was a 48 hour delay till this Tuesday....and now another 48 on top of that pushing it back to Thursday...I wonder if she's getting cold feet?

I was never crazy enough to grow with her around...she's a nosey goof and a clepto...all the stuff she "borrowed without telling me" is being found as she's packing

 

[PoopyTeaBags]

sounds like you dodged a bullet... o wait i missed the post above... i have a feeling that this one wont be so clean and easy... crazy people are never e z to get rid of....

 

[Strainhunter]

Oh boy...keep us posted and best luck!

(I am surprised she hasn't slipped on the stairs long ago...)

Although I'm easy-going, I decided to treat her just as shitty as she's treated me over the years. I cursed her out up one side and down the other embarking on a campaign to make her life just as miserable as she's made mine.

It finally worked...She's couldn't stand it and is moving 5 hours south this Memorial Day.

I'm secretly celebrating every hour that passes...It's a wonderful thing...I don't have to move after all.

Hope that works out for you.

I had a girlfriend in high school that I couldn't dump. I tried breaking up with her four, five times but all I heard was, "Aw, c'mon, give it another week--we can work it out." And all my friends were like, "Aw, but you guys are so cute together...you make such a good couple."

"One more week" turned into three or four and I was so over her possessiveness and manipulation, so I did what you did--I went cold. Treated her in such a way that she got the message in no unequivocal terms that I wanted nothing to do with her. After a week of this, she called me on the weekend saying, "I just realized something... You've been a complete asshole to me this week!" to which I said, "Yeah! Can we break up now?"

After that phone call, I slumped back in my chair with a shitty grin of self-satisfation--I was free! Really free!

So then a few weeks later I start hearing that she's spreading rumors that I'd raped her (I absolutely had not done anything of the sort). The next year of my life was absolutely miserable because we shared the same circle of friends.

Be careful with that "act like an asshole," bit. It can come back on you and bite you on the ass real hard.

 

[Lord Doobie]

You're lucky she didn't pull the "I'm pregnant" act on you...

Your inability to effectively terminate some "high-school-bullshit-Chihuahua-on-your-dick" has absolutely no resemblance to a married couple with an in-law problem.

If it wasn't high-school shit, you fail even harder.

May be this is just me, a manipulative bastard, But I would treat her with utter kindness, when people were looking, and every time we were alone I would spout the most horrible shit out of my mouth, so awful that all the people who saw me treat her like a goddess wouldn't believe her. But, I'm an ass hole

 

[Lord Doobie]

Ha ha
Countdown has resumed...
T-minus 42 hours and counting
I'd have a party but my wife would freek

 

[Lord Doobie]

Now that I think about it, I don't think anyone has stood up to this asshole before...except for her ex...
Aren't I the lucky one

 

[Kalicokitty]

Put some Meth in one of her moving box's and phone an anonymous tip in to the cops about a huge amount being transported disguised as an old lady moving.

They will do a felony stop on her, have her on the ground at gun point while they search her stuff.

Good luck, hope she really leaves.

 

[Lord Doobie]

Ha ha...I wouldn't know where to get the meth

Another reason I'll be crying tears of joy when she leaves is that she always comes over to my home and disses Obama. I think I mentioned she's a dyed-in-the-wool Republitard who religiously follows Fox News. She's so retarded, she doesn't understand that in a democracy, the majority rules...

Well, clearly, I disagree.

While I'm aware I presented the story as anecdotal and yes, the players involved were low on the maturity scale, these events have very much informed my treatment of others going forward since then.

You could call it "a very strong life lesson."

It was also a very painful one. Your making light of that by my book makes you an asshole. So STFU.

It relates because it sounds like the OP's mother-in-law is operating at a maturity level probably somewhat adjacent to my high-school ex-girlfriend. Besides that, I felt identity with the position of "all else has failed, so what else can I do but act like a total jerk?"

Didn't your mother ever tell you that if you didn't have anything nice to say to say nothing at all? Some people...

 

[Kalicokitty]

Ha ha...I wouldn't know where to get the meth

You don't even need the meth, just phone the tip in saying when she will be on what road.
They won't discover she wasn't running anything till after the fact.
Also add in how she has said "the pigs will never take her alive"
Should make for an interesting traffic stop I would think.

That had me almost spit on my monitor from laughter!

 

[Lord Doobie]

I feeeeeeeeel good...15 hours and counting...the truck is packed but the goof loaded her bed so she's now on my couch...WTF?

Supposedly, I'm to awake at 10 o'clock and she will magically be gone...along with the Jehova's Witnesses, real 'tards (not to be confused with Republitards), and anyone else she's sent my way over the past 3 years...

 

[Lord Doobie]

Uh...It's noon and she's still here with her fat pig friend...we're talking 300 pounds on a 5 foot frame. Somehow, 10 o'clock just seemed too good to be true.

These suckers really drag it out...probably from years of practice

I've a whole joint of Star Trek waiting for the word that she's finally gone...

 

[Goosie]

Lol. Go ahead and crank up the truck and tell her to get the hell out!

 

[Sir Smokesalot]

I've been following your thread since I started having problems with my step family, I've got a little stepsister who is a psychological nightmare. She pulls all kinds of manipulative bullshit to turn the family against each other, she's even threatened to kill me because I've finally been able to show my dad what she really is. I'm looking to escape this hell but I'm stuck in this house for a few more months. I really feel for you brother, it's nice to see that your getting free of that terrorist. I hope you get to tell her soon: don't let the door hit you in the ass, on your way out! I don't like ass marks on my door!

 

[Lone Wolf]

haha lord doobie, this thread is great - my laptop died and i had to run and hurry and recharge it so i could get my dose of the life of doobie...

 

[Lone Wolf]

i thought it was funny when you said something about her kids reporting to her like a good nazi should... had me chuckling.... its good to know that your miserable days are over, or so it seems!
