Saying my future MIL hates me is probably the understatement of the year. Frankly, she doesn't like my FI either, but says "well, there's nothing I can do about it because he's my blood" (the woman has even admitted to wishing she had had an abortion!!) We both would like to open the doors of communication, but have found this very stressful to do. We drove out to their home, around 75 miles away, just to tell them we we're finally getting married! She offered us the amount of money it would take to plan the wedding in cash, to just sneak off and not tell anyone. But regardless- she is his mother and there is the hopeful want of a future relationship.
I thought it might be nice to invite her to my first dress fitting, maybe, show her that I am interested in being closer to her. Good or bad idea??
And I know it might seem like I am focusing only on the negative side of her, but I can't think of any positive she has brought to the table. She has banned me from Christmas at her house because my FI and I are "living in sin", together before marriage. Like one time at Mardi Gras, she was wasted and untangled my hair from some beads. That is the extent of our relationship. (And no, I dont know what I did!!??)
