My mother-in-law is a is a real bitch! I can't stand the sight of her. She was 16 when my husband was born. She abandoned him before he was old enough to crawl, leaving his great aunt to raise him till she died. He was 9 years old. So he was shipped to another state to live with his mother whom he knew nothing about. The week he got there she left, said she was going to his dead aunts funeral in NY. Well her boyfriend brutally raped him while she was gone. When she got back he told her what happened, and she accused him of lying...

Well the abuse went on until he was 12 years old. Everyday she went to work leaving her jobless, pedophile boyfriend to have a field day with her only child. My husband's father died when he was 3 months old so they bought drugs and lived off his death benefit check, never spent one dime on my husband. She finally got rid of the bastard, but for her own personal reasons.

All she does is dump dirt on him, talk about how should be a better man, and a better son to her, makes fun of him, and puts him down in front of his children. He works hard, is educated, and does a damn good job taking care of his family, despite his childhood. He could have turned out to be the meanest man on the planet, or worse; a punk. What I don't understand is why doesn't he just let her go?

Oh yeah, Now she accepts that her boyfriend was molesting him. Now that almost 30 years has passed, and no criminal charges can be filed. She's seen him plenty of times around town, but she's never confronted him about what he did to her kid. All she does is cry because she thought the pervert loved her, and now she finds out that he didn't.

I finally got him to deal with his issues. He had plenty of those. The obvious trauma he's suffered all his life is enough to bring tears to anyone with a soul. But she has no soul. All he wants her to do is say she's sorry for what she put him through, but she won't. He treats her like she deserves mother of the year, even though she hurts him so bad everytime he's near her. If he even mentions the abuse to her, she tells him to leave her house and she calls the police. Because how dare him bring that awful shit up, and he has no right to blame her or expect her to help him heal. She's a plague to my family.

Well, he finally asked where his great aunt was buried, since she went to the funeral and left him home to get raped. Guess what she said. She never went to the fucking funeral, don't know where she's buried, can't remember where she was that week. That fucking bitch. She never has anything nice to say about me, because I married him.

I'm so angry at her, and I'm angry at him for allowing her to treat him that way. He does not need her. I've considered divorce just to get out of this fucked family. I don't know how such a good man can be so spineless. I say he should beat her down and say good riddance to bad garbage. I don't give a damn if she is his mother. What should I do?
