Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 You are lucky Amy! My in laws are all psycho!! My future in laws are really nutty too. For a year his mom loved me and then one night when we were visiting told him behind my back all the things she hated about me. I hade ONE beer when I was out there and she calle dme an alcoholic. His family doesnt drink because his dad is a recovering alcoholic. I also teased (gently) my fiance for ordering sweet and sour pork because He ALWAYS orders it. So therefore I'm snobbish and nitpicky and will nag him to death. Oh yeah and I told him we need to look for a newer car. Ours has left us stranded and has started smoking on many occasion and costs us more a year than its worth...so she says I'm out for his money. He doesn't have any money...which cracks me up. I also dumped a very nice and VERY well off person to be with him. UGh. Okay now I'm venting. Because I might have to see her if I go out to LA because I'm sure I can't keep it a secret and if I do I'll be burned for that too!!!!! She san very nice at other times...but after that incident I question her sincerity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy Thanks Amy, thats very sweet. I actually feel bad that I cant respond to more messages. Maybe I just need to send a wide broadcast of positive vibes to everyone every morning. She use to be really nice to me. (my fiance) says that she does this to everyone and will turn on her best friends in a moments notice and then turn back. He blames it on her depression, but I suffer from depression and I don't do that!!! Regardless, it will be a long time before I feel comftorable around her again. It was just a horrible thing. We went LA for 7 days and this happened on the third day. The rest of the trip was just awful. She would do stuff like get out of the car and close the door on me before I could climb out of the back seat. <shudder> but now she sends cards and some nice Christmas gifts...like she use to before the incident. When I told my fiance that I suffered from depression, I now know why his reaction was so severe. He probably thought I would be like her. This sounds REALLY horrible, but that woman gives mental illness a bad name. Okay. I've vented again. Lol. The situation is just becoming increasingly more difficult as we are trying to plan our wedding. She thinks I'm being wasteful and that we should just elope to LA. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Well thanks amy, I hope you still think I'm a nice person after ALL that venting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a strong family and I really want to strengthen some weakend relationships. Also my grandmother is getting very eldrly and has never been to any of her grandchildren's weddings ( only my brother is married...that was by a JP on a 24 leave from the military (shotgun)). Plus, I guess I'm still a little girl at heart and have dreamed about my wedding day since...ha ha I was little girl. I'm afraid that if I eloped and I really didn't want ot get married in that fashion (I don't) I might harbor resentment against my finace or my family.

She told my fiance the next day that she didn't hate mer per se....but that I had major problems. I really think it stems beyond depression. I have battled depression since I was 12 and have witnessed most of my friends and family struggle with it. I don't think it resembles anything close. I don't know if its a minor bi-polar disorder or what. Schizophrenia also runs in his mother family.hmmmmm.
