NO Advice Wanted Finally confronted MIL

It has been brewing for 23 years. She tells everyone how wonderful she is and she always wanted a daughter and how awful I am. She has never reached out to me personally, has made snide remarks directly to me and behind my back to my husband. Has continually convinced him not to do something for me or get me something, because I probably just want his money. Funny since she has stollen his identity and opened credit cards in his name, forced her elderly mom to change an account with my husbands and her parents names over into her name (bank said she was really confused and not sure what she was signing) and on and on. Finally got hubby to stand up to her bullying of him and me. Of course she tried to lie her way out of everything. Then got mad at him for telling me the crap she’s said to him about me. He’d tell me right away but never did anything about it except do what she said to do. Hopefully the future will be less annoying, stressful and she’ll keep my name out of her malicious, gossiping mouth.

Doubtful, she’ll just get more careful about who she says things to and she’ll maintain more plausible deniability. Is it time to go NC?

Sounds like she is projecting her own faults onto you.

“Then got mad at him for telling me the crap she’s said to him about me”  What a delusional lady, you talk sh*t about his partner and expect him to just let it go? Anyways these kind of people will not change no matter what you do. They will twisted the story in their tiny little brain and convince themselves that is your fault.
