First, let me give you some background on this woman. She is an obsessed Mormon who sees anyone who isn't straight, white, or Mormon beneath her. She aggressively tried converting me for a whole year after I started dating my husband, despite me telling her no. Since then, she has made snide comments to me about "my faults". When I lost my job a few years ago she said "It must be nice to sit at home. It's a good thing my son works so you don't have to worry abiut paying the bills." (I'd like to point out that she refused to work her entire life, so irony). My husband told her about my BP last year, which gave me immediate fear and anxiety.

I could go on about this woman tresting me like shit over the last ten years, but here's the story. At Christmas, she bought me one of those plastic things that are popular now you pop like bubble wrap. In front of everyone she says, I got you that becsuse you REALLY need it!" And then she laughed. I was mortified. 

Then, she and my husband's sister brought out a scrapbook of my father-in-law's time in hospice in 2020 (which btw who the fuck wants to remember that experience?). I was close with my father-in-law, so when he wss sick with cancer it destroyed me. My husband and I spent almost everyday in the hospice room for 2 months. So, seeing the pictures brought all of that pain back. It was amplified from my dad's sudden death from a heart attack last April.

All of this combined made me burst out in tears in front of 20 people. My mother-in-law glared at me from across the room. My husband put his arms around me and pulled me into the next room. I'm grateful he is nothing like his mom and sister. We left right after.

After all of that, I went into a manic episode and half of my hair fell out. I haven't spoken to her since Christmas and I never want to again. Her negativity and bullying triggered me a lot over the years and I always kept quiet so I don't cause problems for my husband. But, I've had enough of her cruel comments about my weight gain, my Catholic background (I don't practice anymore), trouble with jobs, etc. 

Anyway, I needed to share. I know you guys will be able to relate better than anyone in my personal life.
