Thrilled to find this group. My narc MIL literally tried to steal my family bible at our wedding, claiming “oh what’s this?” As she was trying to swipe it from the altar, apparently my sister in law saw what was happening and told her “you know exactly what that is and you’re going to put it back.”
Very glad to be here. That was 15 years ago and now she’s threatening to cut my husband out of the inheritance (fine with us!) because I won’t talk to her and my husband doesn’t want to be around her either. She’s tried to ruin my life for two long.

I’m glad you found us! Your husband is a keeper, as is your SIL. What on God’s green earth did she want another family’s bible for? (I’m assuming there is a register of births, marriages and deaths in it, as there is in mine, but maybe not)
Sounds like you’ve got a good husband.
My own mother threatened to cut me out of the will since her own mother left her a boatload of money after I told her I wouldn’t pit up with her abuse and disrespect in not so many words. I told her “do it, I’m sick of you holding her money over my head.” I still don’t know if I’m in it or not 🤣
Sounds like you’ve finally built the boundary you needed. Fifteen years of nonsense is more than enough, good on you and your husband for sticking together and protecting your peace.
Your MIL sounds like a real piece of work. Glad you’re finding support here. Standing up to her and setting boundaries is key. You and your husband are on the same page, and that’s all that matters.
Stealing a Bible at a wedding is next-level cartoon villain, at this point, cutting you out of the will is just her way of saying she’s still mad you caught her.
