The new stepmother-in-law from hades

Missingme's picture

The new elderly step mother in law is a catty witch from hades.  And of course my husband also never sees the patronizing nasty catty digs that his father's new wife directs at me.  It's bad enough that I have to deal with the SD and ex's games and now this.  I'm exhausted.  I can't imagine that I could be so immature in my old age.  The old woman is jealous of every woman/friend from the dad's past and commandeers him.  Control freak much.  Okay, rant for the month.  ;-)

She's had plenty of years to hone her craft.  She treats my husband with such charm while putting the screws to me with insincere flattery in front of him.  How do I set her straight when she play acts nice in front of them?  The only thing I can think to do is avoid the biotch because I'm not good at the game?

This is your father-in-law's new wife? I can't imagine why she would have anything against you personally or due to circumstances. Maybe she is just a miserable, unpleasant individual? I vote for stay the hell away from her.

She's a jealous old biddy.  Yes, the miserable sort with the fake humble pie, whiney voice and obvious fake flatteries.  Since the hubs can't say no to anyone, I'm sure the fight will be on when I refuse invitations (to be tortured by the old bag).  Thanks for the 2 cents.

Ugh. She sounds horrible. Having to deal with exes and skids is enough. I've decided not to hang out with anyone in my SO's family that i don't want to. None of them are as bad as you describe, but many are loyal to BM, so i no longer give a rat's ass what those people think. There are only so many unpleasant obligations one person can take.

For sure and, eww, I'm glad I don't have to deal with family members who are loyal to the ex--at least right now.  I had a girlfriend who dealt with that nastiness for so long.  I don't know how she stuck it out!
