We have been married almost 6 years and have two kids together. My husband's mother is a nightmare. She leaves me mean, passive aggressive notes all the time and won't even touch me or give me a hug. I do stuff for her like make her food (she is disabled) and help her with errands. She won't even kiss me on the cheek like she does with everyone else. Anyways, I had my hair in a pony tail with a few strands framing my face and she made a face at me when I came home from the grocery store. She asked, "Why don't you take care of yourself?" This is just how she is. I am done with her. The next day I asked my husband to please tell her to leave me alone. I don't want her living with me anymore. I am at a breaking point. Do I even mention the note thing? <br><br> <br><br>I am shocked he told her and now it is making my life worse. My MIL called me to see if I was okay and she said a lot of mean things to me on the phone. I told her to stop and she said that a mother never stops loving her child. It was so mean and passive aggressive. What do I do? Do I just let her push me around now? <br><br> <br><br>Update: I finally just talked to my husband. he got home from work late. I was going crazy, not saying anything and just fed our children. He said MIL called him and told him she was "the only person that loves me". He said that he told her not to say that. He told me that he told her to apologize and she said she would. Should I wait for her to apologize? He is saying that I need to apologize for saying I didn't want to kiss her anymore. I asked him why I need to apologize and he said that she is his mother and she can't function on her own so she'll always need us. <br><br> <br><br>Update 2: I am so disappointed. I told him the best case scenario is I just don't talk to her at all, but I will still make her food and give her rides. He said okay, fine. I asked him why he didn't tell her she was being mean and that she needs to stop it, or at least take my side. He told me the exact same thing as before, that she can't function on her own. <br><br> <br><br>Update 3: He finally realized that his behavior is so hurtful. He asked me what I need to feel better and I said for him to take my side. He said that he would. So I told him that I don't want to take care of her anymore. He said that he asked her to be nicer to me and she said she would. What do I do now? Should I hold out on driving her places and making food, or should I do that stuff and at the same time try to get her to move out gently? Or should I most likely upset her and say we aren't going to do stuff for her anymore, and we just won't see her anymore. What do I do? <br><br> <br><br>Update 4: Well, I got a slap in the face. I told her I wasn't going to take her to any appointments anymore. I told her nicely and said I could take her today, but after that I was going to stop. She looked at me like I was garbage and said "How dare you. You know I can't drive. How would I get to my doctor's appointment?" <br><br> <br>So a few hours later my husband told me that he is going to take her. I asked him if he is driving her since I won't. He said yes. <br> <br> <br>I'm upset and hurt.
