im just so upset with my MIL. i honestly thought we had a great relationship, i was so happy to have someone to rely on since my relationship with my own mother hasnt been the best. it started when my husband left to join the military [keeping things purposely vague] and she offered to let me move in with her husband to “help us get back on our feet” since money was rough. immediately when we move in, shes charging us over $1,500 to stay there with the kids. also her husband is an alcoholic, who would smoke weed and not go to work for months at a time. i honestly looked past it cause i was happy to have a place to go home to with family because my husband wasnt there. she waits til my husband comes home to go behind my back and tell him we’ve been “disrespecting the house” so she wanted to bump up our rent $500 a month! and blaming me for her husband having a bad relationship with my kids saying “i probably tell them not to talk to him”, meanwhile he spends 24/7 drunk in his room and maybe mutters a “hi” to them as he walks past, if he even does walk past them once a day.
thankfully our house is ready in two weeks but im just so over living in this situation. i feel so disrespected and my feelings are so hurt. and she still has never said any of this to my face! all behind my back to my husband while also coming up with ways that we owe them more money.

Sounds like MIL realizes the gravy train is leaving and milking every penny out. I hope DH didn’t pay her the $500 extra without more specifics about what “disrespecting” meant. Make sure to take photos and videos of the place when you move out to protect ourself for any future complaints or legal action.
