Mother in law problem?

Question by Vicki B: Mother in law problem?
My mother in law is one of kind, let me start off by saying that. In the past 5 yrs she has stoled money, clothes and other things off of me. Held drug deals in my driveway. Been in prision for drugs. Went to jail for domestic abuse. Lies. Puts my husband down when he doesn’t jump when she wants him too. Called my 15yr old a “not so nice name” (he is my son from my 1st marriage, not her grandson) She drinks all the time and smokes pot. ect.ect.ect. I think you get the picture !!! And ALWAYS wants money from us! Tells my husband that it is none of my business when she askes him for money and he shouldn’t even tell me but he does.
Well here are the problems I face. No matter what, she is my husbands mother. I want NOTHING to do with her and I don’t want our 3 yr old around her either. He still wants me to try to work things out because she has “problems” and I should forgive her. I cant because every time I try, she hurt my husband again or my family. What should I do?
Not to mention I dont want my children around people like her. She is NOT a mother or a grandmother in my eyes and I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to her but if I never seen her again it would be TOO soon. This is causing problems in my marriage.
She has gotten psch. help and states she is better, but I see no signs of it.

your husband needs to realise that his mother is not a good role model for your children, maybe he is used to her abusive ways but that doesnt mean you have to put up with it, i undrestand he loves her and is worried about her behaviour, but he needs to think about his own family first. maybe your husband should try to convince his mother to seek help and then when or if she refuses it may be easier for him to see what a lost cause it is good luck
