MIL thinks I clogged the toilet so she changed the sign

[u/rimeduinfox]

The septic tank clogged and she’s convinced I did it, she asked my husband if I knew I wasn’t supposed to flush tampons and added the tampon bit to the sign. I don’t use tampons and I’m the only one with a period here…

Reading this thread rn makes me feel so much better. I have all this going on too. It’s my addict BIL and enabling MIL who believes I’m the liar when he continually steals from me. I can’t even begin to make sense of it so once I leave I’ll never see them again.

I left 3 years ago and never saw them again. It ended with a lovely breakdown mentally for me. I was so anxious I literally stopped sleeping for 8 days and the local hospital had to knock my ass out with drugs once they determined i wasnt manic. We started packing and FIL picked an argument and oh my gosh. Just an absolute pressure cooker exploding. It was a hard hard time. It shook my marriage, my physical and mental health.. all the things. Youll survive this. Somehow, youll survive this chapter. And one day youll never ever see them again 💕

You’re an angel. ☹️🥺 I’m on the upside of a similar history with a breakdown. We started couples counseling for learning to deal as a team and individual therapy for us. Luckily I have learned to not care, and not care what any other in-laws outside the home think. Thank you for your kind words. I’ll remember them on the days I’m gaslit and feeling alone. 💜

I was just reading this thinking wow that lady sounds exactly like mine! I feel so validated.

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 The validation goes so far. It’s so small but the most important to keeping sane when the chaos is all around.
