Sounds about right

Dear MIL,

I got your nine voicemail messages. I am aware that we forgot your birthday. To be blunt, when you called me a stupid maniachal b**ch who took your son away from you on my birthday, I decided that I was no longer obligated to remember yours. I have had flowers sent to your work, and reminded your son to call you for the past 7 years. I will no longer be interfering in your relationship with your son. Your birthday, Mothers Day, and Christmas are now entirely up to him. Furthermore, I am blocking your number on my cell, and e-mail addresses.

  1. Good for you, DIL! As someone with abusive ILs, I can tell you there was nothing so peaceful as the day my husband said he was done with them.

    2. While DWIL is a fine site, it is far from the only site that deals with in-law issues. In fact, the oldest is motherinlawstories.com which is also a great site.

    1. Dealing with the inlaws and family of origin (DWIL) on babycenter.com. It is an advice board for those with in law and bio family problems. The ladies on there give great advice on setting boundaries, dealing with toxic families etc.

  7. I wonder if the husband chose to ignore the birthday or simply forgot.
