Does anyone have monster mom in law from hell ?

I love my husband but his mother has to grow up ! He tells her certain things she says to me are out of line but she doesn't care she still voices her opinion with no care at all about how I feel or what I might have on my mind ! Its stressful cuz I'm 19weeks 5days and she goes on to say she wish we didn't get married and how she was so close in stopping us blah blah blah ! Now she has the nerve to say this baby isn't his ! I'm so frustrated hurt and confused ! I'm nothing but nice respectful and has never been rude to this lady ! Time is well over due me and him have been dating since junior highschool 8 years later she still have stuff to say and now I'm his wife ! What to do ? My mom says pray for people like her but prayer can't change this ! Ugh ! Any feed back ?

Thank you ladies for sharing at least I'm not alone with the mil problem ! As someone said try and talk I tried she shut me down by saying stop being so weak and get a back bone because I told her how I felt about things she say and do ! Another time she embarrassed me she came to my job when my husband was on deployment (he is in the navy) and made a scene she also brought two other women for back up with I guess to tell me I'm not fit to be his wife and how I'm not even attractive ! And before that when I was planning my big wedding she made it impossible for me to have one my family was on board everyone else in his family too except her so when I started asking for addresses to send my invitations out she called the majority of her family and told them all not to come ugh they all agreed because she shared a false bad light over our relationship bare in mind ladies I was sending my invitations out meaning my while wedding was planned but when he realized what she was doing he was hurt and didn't want to have a big wedding because none of his family would be there I had to get married at a court house ugh wasn't my dream wedding but I compromised ! P.s she didn't show their either ! My mom told her many of times let us live our lives and she  should leave us be she disrespected my mom who is a minister over and over again ! ( OH WAIT DID I MENTION THATS HER FIRST BORN AND ONLY SON ) also last but not least she told us at 7 weeks she will not attend our baby shower and has been sticking to it ever since she told me she has no desire to meet my family !

My mil said she was going to get our baby taken from us bc she felt I was too abusive. I popped the puppy on the nose for hiking on the couch and set him outside to finish... that was it. She also keeps saying my baby is going to hell bc I'm not a Christian so my "heathen blood has tainted it. The poor thing is better off dead than with you."
Luckily, my husband got fed up enough that he moved us 3 hours away, refuses to tell her where we live, and has gotten a restraining order so that she can't just show up and try crazy things. It's bad when her own son takes it upon himself t do that when he gets fed up with it.

I have a nightmare mother in law but it's nothing like that! But I do share your pain! At least your husband is under standing. Mine won't hear a bad word and it's causing so much tension it's unreal!! Could scream!

My future mil is like that. When we told her we were expecting her whole attitude was how could we do this to her? She also said that she seriously hopes that we didn't plan this pregnancy.

I agree with abbb01 she needs to understand this needs to change before baby or she will not get to see baby.  You cant have your child hear you disrespected like that.  It will make your child think its okay for ppl to speak to them like that.
She sounds like the queen of monster in laws, I am so sry.  I had mine try to hook with husband up with other girls in front of me when we were dating and engaged, which was very awkward but my husband was always too in love with me to even talk to the girls which was nice even tho he didn't realize what she was doing lol.  But once married she stopped those things.
My grandma used to talk like yours to my mom. She told her she was stupid to marry my dad, that you always marry an ugly man as my dad was too handsome and would cheat on her (this is my dads mom mind you).  When he went on business trips she would call my mom and say how she bet he was cheating on her.  I dont get ppl.  My dad would never cheat, he is still over the moon with my mom almost 40 years later.  But his mom didnt like another woman getting his attention so she tried to make my mom stop trusting him.

With the way she is describing her a sit down and talk wont work i tried that and my mother in law said she doesn't care if im having his child or not he even told me she wants him with his ex who has his biological daughter (my first son isnt his biological son he just stepped up and took on the roll of a father) some people just dont care if they hurt anyone

Try to smile and be happy it will eat at her.Thats what i do to my mother in-law she has never liked me because she likes my fiances ex who has his daughter and she says the same stuff i just dont care anymore because my fiance told her that she needs to step.back off of me and he told me thatbhe doesn't care what she thinks or says because she is not the one he is on this earth to please so try to stay positive and just think yiu will have your own little family soon and she will never be able to.take that from.you

I say cut her out of your life. Ignore her. It may be hard but its what's best really (in my opinion). The stress is not good for the baby, so keep that in mind. The things she says to you wouldnt  be good for your mental state even if you weren't pregnant. No one needs that constant negativity in their life. It isnt healthy to be put down like that all the time. Don't tell your husband to cut her out of his life, just tell him you don't want to talk about her or hear about her. Maybe one day she will grow up or come around, but some people will never change their minds. If you've tried to make a relationship with her work and she doesn't want it, it sounds like her loss to me. Good luck. :)

Wow sounds like she was born without a filter! My mil is kinda like that shes says whatever pops in her head but nothing like that! If uve never given her a reason to be nasty and disrepectful to u than I would consider having a sit down before baby is born and set her straight that u won't have this kind of behavior around her kid and if she continues to be verbally abusive than she won't be seeing her grandchild until she learns be respectful.  I could only imagine if ur kid was around her at like 4yrs old and she starts going off about how his dad isn't his real dad that could cause major damage to ur kid
