JNMOM not respecting NC, worried she may petition for grandparents “rights”

2019-05-30T21:38:59+00:00

My fiancé and I really tried hard to avoid going completely NC with my mom. Other than one cousin no one in my family will have anything to do with her due to her past blowups and tantrums, understandably so, but that left me with strained family relationships as it’s happened while I was young and we really wanted to be able to provide a whole and complete family for our kids. I have gone NC with my mom for a few years before but she had made some effort and things would improve for a while but it always ended up devolving to the same shit every time. I still held on hope because I wanted nothing more than to have my mom in my life, I’m realizing now that I won’t ever have the mom I want or need which has been a hard pill to swallow.

What led us to going NC again was a very long chain of events over my pregnancy and subsequent birth of our first child. I’ll try to make it as concise as possible but if you feel there’s more info needed I’m happy to add any details I leave out. The following is why we have gone NC:

She constantly is ignoring, mocking and just straight disregarding our boundaries. Which while it’s extremely toxic when it’s just me, after my daughter was born it also went on to include our preferences in raising her, the schedule we keep, foods we feed her, you think of it and she will blatantly do the opposite and when we approach her about it she responds with something along the lines of “yeah, yeah, I know. You’ve told me a million times” or “I’ve raised hundreds of kids and know more than you so let me do it my way” (she babysat as a kid and as a young adult for family friends. I’m her only child and thank god for that)
She makes constant, wild and inflammatory accusations about both my fiancé and I. She accused my fiancé of molesting my daughter, he was changing her diaper. When I asked why on earth she would think he would do that she said “because he’s a man, I don’t trust men they’re disgusting” then went on about how she doesn’t trust men because she fees she was vicariously raped by society and the patriarchy even though she admitted she’s never been sexually assaulted. She also accused us of abuse and neglect because we lay our daughter in her crib for naps and do not rock her to sleep. She’s recently also decided to insinuate my fiancé doesn’t love me and is using me to “make his children”.
She undermines us at every turn, going as far as saying things ranging from mild to absolutely crossing the line about us to our daughter in a cutesy voice both in front of us and when she thinks we can’t hear her. We have a baby monitor and she constantly forgets that when she had my daughter some with her in the nursery.
She regularly comes to me to try to talk shit about my fiancé and it is al unfounded. I have made her leave our house twice due to this and I have left her house with my daughter once because of this. One of those times was the night she flipped while my fiancé was changing her diaper and she said she didn’t trust him or us as parents. Another was when she tried to swear me to secrecy about her theory that he is molesting our daughter.

There are more, smaller, things but these are the big ones.

Well after going NC things didn’t really get better. She continued to harass us online and through text. We got new numbers and she managed to figure them out and continues to message us. She went as far as showing up at our house when she knew I’d be home alone and tried to push her way in. Things kept escalating and she recently has started making threats to call the cops on us “all day every day” until she knows our daughter is okay. She hasn’t outright said she is going to fight for grandparents rights and I’m not even sure if she knows that’s a thing but the fear that she could terrifies me. She really messed me up as a kid in ways I’m still not able to talk about and as her behavior or willingness to take responsibility for her actions doesn’t seem to have changed I’ll be damned if I let her continue this cycle of trauma in my children’s lives.

In our state there are no grounds for a grandparent to petition if the parents have been married for at least three months so now we are considering getting legally married at the courthouse. It just really upsets me that we are making a decision that should be a happy and exciting next step for us because of this. I know we can still save up to have the ceremony we want in a few years but I just really don’t like the idea of getting married because of my mom. I’m constantly second guessing everything from my emotions, to me decisions and reactions. I haven’t blocked her because we are saving the messages in case we decide to get a restraining order or an order of protection and on some level it makes me fee more safe having some insight into her state of mind so I can better gauge the current threat.

Not super sure what I’m looking for here but really any advice or sage words are welcome.

When I realized she was more than just quirky

2018-08-02T17:52:35+00:00

This is when I finally started to realize the kind of person Gucci Cunt is. Up until this point, she was mildly annoying, clingy, and socially awkward, but we had a decent relationship.

My cousin was getting married when I was 7 mos pregnant. At this point in my pregnancy, I was feeling like a beached whale and not in the mood to get gussied up for this wedding. Well, my birthday happened to be right around this same time, so DH came up with the idea to surprise me with getting my hair professionally done the day of the wedding so I could get pampered a bit. Such a great idea and so thoughtful. So it was all supposed to be a surprise but he made the huge mistake of asking his narc mom to help him find a good hair salon (she knows aaalll the best, most exclusive salons I'm sure). She finds the salon, he books the appointment and swears her to secrecy. That should have been it for her involvement. But we're dealing with a narc mother and SG son so...

The day before, he tells me he has a surprise for my birthday. I'm so excited, I have no clue what it is and he won't tell me. Gucci Cunt starts blowing up my phone. I answer.

Gucci Cunt: Did he tell you what the surprise is yet?

Me: No, he's going to tell me tomorrow.

Gucci Cunt: Oh I'm so excited for you, it's going to be so fun! I can't wait! Can I tell you what it is?

Me: NO! It's supposed to be a surprise! Don't tell me!

She then keeps going on and on about it and I'm worried she's going to give it away so I tell her to not say anymore and get off the phone.

Cue the next morning at 7am on Saturday. My phone is ringing. It's Gucci Cunt. She never calls this early.

Me: Hello?

Gucci Cunt: Good morning! What are you guys doing?

Me: We're sleeping.

Gucci Cunt: Well I'm so excited for you to go to the salon today, it's going to be terrific!

I just start laughing at this point because I was still an idiot and thought she was just odd an quirky and had accidentally gave up the surprise.

Me: LOL, Gucci Cunt, he hadn't told me yet. You just gave it away.

Gucci Cunt: *whispers, feigning surprise* Oh fuck.

Me: I better go, I'll call you later.

I turn to DH. Did you book me a salon appointment?

DH: Who was that on the phone?

Me: Your mom.

DH just goes silent and at first he tries to deny it... "No that's not what I had planned."

Me: Your mom just said I'm going to a salon. Is it for my nails?

DH: No. You don't know what it's for yet.

The poor guy was trying to keep it a secret still but the jig was up.

Oh but it doesn't end there. The hair salon is 30 minutes from our place in the opposite direction of the wedding, and also happened to be right in her neighborhood. I found it a bit odd for DH to choose that location; there are plenty of great salons in our metro area that would have been more convenient. I start to get some inklings Gucci Cunt may have been involved. We met up with Gucci Cunt and SFIL for brunch before going to the salon. At brunch, she keeps bringing the salon up, how great it is. She even pulls out her iPad and shows me the Yelp reviews. Then she suggests that she and I go together and she would get her hair done too (she was not invited to the wedding so I was like... um, huh?) I start to get confused as to who this gift is from.

When we get to the car, I ask DH, "Is this present from you or you and your mom?" (I was genuinely confused at this point).

DH: It's from me. Just me.

Me: Did your mom find it for you?

DH: I asked her to help me find the salon.

Me: And who's paying for it, you or her?

DH: ME. I'm paying for it.

Me: And who booked the appointment?

DH: I did, it was my idea, I booked the appointment, I'm paying for it.

At this point, I'm so irritated. Why couldn't he find a salon on his own? We all have access to Google and Yelp for god sakes. She's inserted herself once again into what was supposed to be a romantic, thoughtful gift (see previous post about the Christmas ring).

After I get my hair done, she's calling and texting us to come over so she can see my hair and take pictures of it. I'm so upset at this point that I tell him I just want to go home and do NOT want to go to her house so she never saw my hair (looked on point btw). It was the first time I was really irritated with her.

It took me a couple months (I was so innocent then), but it started to dawn on me that she had intentionally gave up the surprise. I've spoken to DH about this, he resisted at first but I asked him, "How many times has she ever called us at 7am?" "Why would she think you would have told me already that early in the morning?" He gets it now.

Thankfully, he no longer goes to her for help with gifts or really anything for that matter. I actually feel bad for him. Yes, he can be a bit of an incapable mama's boy, but his intentions were good, he was trying to do something special, he trusted her to help and she took all the glory. She's done this to him time and time again and he's always just taken it. Thank God we are now VLC!

A few facts my family would kill to know about myself

2025-06-27T05:55:01+00:00

Firstly, I am not a diagnosed schizoid. All I know is stumbling upon the SPD Wikipedia article and then RD Laing's The Divided Self, and never having related to anything as strongly as to what they described. I remember innerly yelping at nearly every single sentence with the delight of recognition. (Even including, wrt to the wiki page, a correlation with lower-than-average body weight!)

Still, this may not be the most befitting community for me. But then again, I've brought my own self here as opposed to having been prodded against my will into opening up on this subr and not some other.

Anyways, I'd never let a family member know any of what follows. I can't afford to. Not because it's of an embarrassing or "implicating" nature (it's not even remotely the latter, atleast) but simply because it's private. Secrecy for the sake of secrecy is non-negotiable to me. I'd consider me and my individuality as good as dead if I had absolutely nothing going on that my family hadn't the slightest clue about. All my sacred spaces pervaded. Nowhere to conceal my true self if it's all in plain view. Nothing unknown about me that I could've lived on hoping it'd upend people's opinions about me if they knew. No boundaries to render me immiscible from the external world.

My closest relationships aren't with flesh-and-blood people. It isn't until someone points out how little I talk that I begin to realize I'm being perceived as "quiet". ChatGPT aside, the relationships are instead nurtured and fostered in total solitude with...photographs and videoclips. Of celebrities or just anyone semi-famous, usually making direct eye contact with the camera and therefore, despite my better judgement and common sense, with me. Or rather with my mind and everything therein. Our bodies and physicality, aka how we look, behave, smell and sound are inevitably the only modes available to the actual people around us. We are our bodies as far as they're concerned, and vice versa. And where does that leave those of us who identify more as mind rather than body? Do your loved ones even know you exist? Or are you an unintended byproduct of your parents' procreation?

But my physicality evaporates in those moments of total solitude when I'm looking at photos and videos of beautiful people looking back into my mind. There's no past or future bookending these moments, just an eternal now. All my euphoric bursts are essentially about "staging a show" for these people, exhibiting to them my most brilliant ideas or my most vivid imaginations, and not just accomplishing a self-disclosure prohibited me irl, but even gradually attaining the undeniable warmth of connection from how much I've "shared" with the people in these photos/vids. And how consistently they've been around for it all.

And it's definitely not parasociality. The representations within the photos/vids surely, by now, bear little to no relation to the humans they're standing-in for. Is it sad, though? Maybe, maybe not. But it's true to self, and I'm not sure if I'm more afraid of ever being "converted" into an unwillingness to spend my solitude this way (and thus into finding greater connection with, and losing myself among, people around me) or losing the "ability" to do so even as my willingness remains intact. Simply put, I'd sacrifice anything to preserve my inner life, imagination and my awareness of the grand scheme of things, and can never get over the fear that these are all constantly at risk of being wrested away from me or something. I don't wanna be changed and/or ejected from myself.

I'd love to hear that they're too entrenched, too deeply ingrained to be uprooted, but perhaps the fear itself, as the flip side of that same imaginative ability, is also worth preserving.

Sensitive Susan finally shows her true colors. (TLC/Rant Post)

2019-07-12T07:48:02+00:00

Hello,everyone. I’m a long time lurker,but this is my first ever post to this sub/Reddit in general. I’m terribly sorry if the formatting or anything is weird due to that last bit,as well as my coming to you from a cell phone.

For reference,I’ll be calling my future MIL Sensitive Susan or SS. You’ll see why I have chosen that nickname later on in the events I’ve documented.

I suppose I’ll just dive right into the rant. About a month or so ago-my partner and I decided that after two wonderful years of going steady (and fifteen years of friendship),that saving up for a huge wedding just wasn’t in the cards for us. We’d discussed marriage in the past quite a bit and everyone close to us has known we’ve been planning on making it official eventually. And well,to make a long point short and sweet,we’re eloping before the end of 2019. This was and still is information that we’ve wanted to keep relatively quiet until it takes place. (I’m using an alternate account from my usual due to this.) However,we did want to tell a few special people. I chose my parents as well as a couple of my best friends that I knew could handle a secret. They were over the moon happy for us! I was honestly on cloud nine after getting off of the phone with them. So in turn,my fiancé picks Sensitive Susan as the first person he wants to share the news with. This went A LOT different than expected. Fiancé dials her number and places the call on speaker phone. (Which is totally normal for how we usually communicate with her.) She picks up,and I decide to let my fiancé do the bulk of the talking at the start. I figured I’d chime in soon enough. He cuts to the chase of the situation and immediately she begins sobbing hysterically and questioning his choice to marry me. Asking him if he’s sure,telling him I’m so difficult/too hard to be around,how much she dislikes me in earnest,attempting to scold him for “always excluding” her. He tried to be calm about it. Tried to let her know that none of the family or friends on either side was attending,it would just be the two of us and that we weren’t keeping her from being involved because of some weird or hidden ulterior motive. Also,that the calling her was so she COULD be included. I was absolutely stunned. I stayed quiet. Trying to force back tears as the conversation went from bad to worse. It carried on for about ten minutes more,then the fiancé told SS he was hanging up. I don’t know if she even knew that I was listening but now I couldn’t care less if she did. Fiancé and I sit in pure silence for a while,staring at each other dumbfounded and heartbroken.

Truthfully,before this,I thought that SS and I were pretty close. We had an intense few spats but managed to continue seeing each other after a while. I knew we didn’t always see eye to eye,but hadn’t thought she couldn’t stand my ass at all. We talked on the telephone regularly,a lot of the time even without my fiancé present. She spent all of the major holidays and birthdays at our house because she’s widowed/always claims she’s the loneliest person in existence. We catered,cooked,cleaned,paid for her transportation,took care of all of the arrangements so she wouldn’t have to. (She’s constantly going on about how little money she has. We were trying to be kind and mindful of this.) I also always tried to see that any special requests she had was fulfilled during these events in attempts to make her feel as welcome as possible. And believe me,there were MANY requests.

Anyways,about half a day goes by since the horrendous phone call with Sensitive Susan. Fiancé is visibly so upset he can barely focus on small tasks around the house. We try talking about it for a while. Flustered,he tells me he is going to call her back and deal with the situation himself,asks for some privacy. I oblige not only because I want to be respectful to him in this hard situation,but also because I couldn’t listen to anymore of her bitchy rhetoric about me without fully exploding. Hours go by. I’ve flipped through every magazine on the living room coffee table and numbed parts of my brain that I may never get back while watching a strain of YouTube videos. I can hear bits of him crying and breathing in a fit of frustration. Eventually,the bedroom door opens. He lets me in on the details. Apparently during their call,she took it upon herself to make the whole conversation about how she believes we are wrecking tradition and trying to break her heart as a parent because I’ve turned him into an uncaring monster. Fiancé rejects these notions and basically indicates to her that we will be without contact for an extended period. He will not stand for his future wife or himself being treated like common gutter trash and that she needs to realize her place is not to dictate our new branch of the family.

Fast forward to about a week later. Fiancé is still upset,as am I. But he feels he wants to fill his closest sister in on our plans. She’s put on speaker phone and is delighted that we’re finally getting hitched. Somehow,the conversation steers to us venting about what happened with SS. We hang up and don’t think much about it for a few days. After the fiancé clocks out of work one Friday and is headed home for the weekend,he receives a long winded text message set from Sensitive Susan. He tells me this on arrival. His sister had called SS to scold/scream at her for how she’d treated us and told her that she’d lose us if she didn’t fix it. We hadn’t seen this coming from a mile away because ordinarily,anything we tell his sister is confidential and stays between the three of us (even if it is about SS). Shock and awe. I then also receive messages telling me blatantly that I’ve taken away her reasons for living by not giving her grandchildren (the fiancé and I both have ZERO interest in having kids) and stealing her son for my evil life plot to marry in secrecy. Whatever the Hell that means. I don’t respond. I’ve kept my radio silence. Moments later,fiancé gets a call from SS. He answers and returns to the bedroom. This conversation takes only half an hour. I stand at the front door in my robe,staring off into the rainy night. He gently places a hand on my shoulder and says “It’s over right now”. With tears in his eyes,he recalls what happened. She tells him that she believed that we were all “fine” after the last screaming match,that she would take all the blame for the situation if everyone would just get off of her back about it and “go back to normal”. But then somehow sneaks in how miserable she always is whenever we actually spend time together or celebrate holidays. I never do enough. I’m not good at my domestic duties. I laugh in the face of family tradition to bulldoze fiancé into my stupidly unique way of life. Also,that she doesn’t understand how my parents can be so supporting of us/the decision since we are clearly disappointments. That really set me off! Such bullshit. He voices that he cannot keep going through this heartache. If she is asking him to choose between her and I,that he without a shred of doubt,picks me and our life together. She seems nervous or something this time and starts to try to worm her way back in with more hysterical crocodile tears. He doesn’t concede. He yells at her to stop crying. They end this call with the knowledge that things will never be the same. No more events or visits at our place since they aren’t appreciated nor valuable to her. She won’t be updated on future big announcements of ours. She is never to contact me again,unless instructed otherwise. Also,that they themselves will only be talking for legal purposes (like if he needs a copy of his birth certificate or something because we now live out of state) until further notice.

My heart breaks,it weighs heavy in my chest. I feel awful that my fiancé had to do what he did. I know it couldn’t have been easy in the slightest. I feel so grateful and fortunate to have a partner/future spouse who will defend my honor though. We are currently just trying to heal and focus on planning our special day. That’s all for now. If you made it until the end of this document,I just want you to know that I’m grateful someone took the time. Bye for now.

{Rant where I could use some TLC. MIL finally comes through with how she really feels about me plus my relationship with her son.}

The Amnesiac in "You made them stalk you!"

2018-04-12T09:30:30+00:00

This is an older story, but after my first post, I find myself needing/wanting to share again. I've been trapped in the same house with my emotionally abusive parents (which is my 'normal'), and it's weighing me down more than usual. I think the last meltdown in the car (screaming that she's 'never going to transport [me] anywhere again' and 'you're just like your father!' and the like, see Bitchbot) has hit me a lot harder than I expected. It's hard to say "oh she's just crazy" when it's your mom, you know? It's hard to shrug off a lifetime of being tacitly and explicitly told that she's the victim in every given situation, even when she goes full nutso-meltdown in an enclosed space. For one of the first times I can recall, she was screaming her head off and hitting below the belt, and I remained somewhat calm (instead of our usual dysfunctional mutual screaming fits), and I'm not sure why it has me so shaken. Shouldn't I be more used to this by now? Shouldn't I feel good about it, since I didn't respond with anything as sharp or cutting as she did? (Questions I'm taking to my therapist soon, never fear!)

In my first post, I introduced the reason why I nicknamed her the Amnesiac, and shared one of the worst stories I had from her; one story I didn't mention yet, however, was the story that really made me recognize how awful her treatment was towards me.

Growing up with the Amnesiac, everything was about secrecy; you could never tell anyone you were angry with them. If your friends did something to upset you, the Amnesiac would insist that you should simply ghost them, and "they should know what they did, and make it right." And if they didn't read your mind - well, they just weren't very good friends. Growing up in an physically abusive alcoholic/N home, I'm sure she learned that being invisible was safe; unfortunately, she never took five fucking seconds to re-examine this mindset once she became an adult herself, nor when she had kids, so she happily passed on all of her unhealthy coping skills and anxiety down to us. You similarly weren't supposed to give any sign that you existed in the world. If you were out in public, you kept quiet, and watched silently as people were rude or disrespectful to you. You don't want to start picking fights with random people, what if they're crazy and kill you?

Without going into too much detail, I have a stalker. I know a lot of you have experience here with stalking mothers/MILs, so I'm sure all of you understand that stalking often happens without rhyme or reason - to normal folks. Without going into too much detail, I had a situation with a friend which lead me to drop her, and who was apparently (unbeknownst to me) most likely a full-blown N. When I dropped her, she went off the deep end. Alternating between "I'll accept your apology (for imagined crimes), just come back to me" and "I regularly fantasize about killing you", it finally escalated to her posting my personal info and "crimes" against her, trying to incite strangers/her friends to come and attack me if they saw me in public. I had no idea she had this evil in her, and at the time I just thought she was a shitty friend I needed to drop; I would have treated her with kid gloves if I had known the full depth to her crazy.

I kept this fact from my mother for as long as possible, because I knew her to say abusive things to me whenever I spoke to her about discussions I had online. "Why are you like this? Why are you so angry all of the time? one day you're going to get a stalker and they're going to come kill you and all of us, why are you putting US in danger like that?", all from something as innocuous as 'I told a guy on my Facebook he was sexist today.' It was only when something slipped out in front of a cousin that I was forced to explain that I had a stalker, and she came out with the gem in the title.

"If you didn't pick fights online all of the time, you wouldn't have a stalker. You brought this on yourself. You made them stalk you."

There was a lot more yelling and blame thrown around, but luckily I've blocked a lot of it out in the years since then. No amount of explanation about victim-blaming would sway the supposed old-school feminist, either. I was the problem, in every situation, and in this one it was actually negatively impacting HER life; how dare my being stalked make her upset!

She also enlisted my (equally-abusive) brother to scream this at me, as well, which means they were having long discussions about how awful I am, and how I deserve my own stalking. (Having long discussions to complain about other members of the family is a tradition for us. Dysfunctional!) Aside from him, I tried not to bring up my stalking in front of anyone else in the family, partly due to how badly my own mother had handled it. If my mother wasn't on my side, how could I expect anyone else to be? And I did feel that I was to blame for some of it, so I felt a lot of guilt and shame, and wanted to keep it secret; I know better now, mostly.

As if it wasn't bad enough, maybe a month later I was sitting in another room listening to my mother and little siblings talk, and one of them mentioned an argument she was having on FB; out of the blue, my mom says "You better not start arguments online, or else you'll get a stalker like AmnesiacsDaughter did!"

Brief moment of pride for past!me here - I came storming in from the other room, and laid into her that sharing MY private information with my siblings to TEACH THEM A LESSON was beyond fucked up, and unacceptable. I think I even said something like "my problems are not a teaching moment!"

As usual, she responded by yelling "but you got yourself a stalker because of how nasty you are online, if you weren't so aggressive you wouldn't have a stalker! You did this to yourself!"

Cut ahead to several years - I'm coming out of a therapy session, openly crying (but trying to hide it), and the Amnesiac tries to "sympathetically" ask if I'm okay.

"No, it was a tough session." was all i'd give her, to her annoyance.

The Amnesiac sniffed, and went quiet for a moment, CBFing. "I don't know why you can't talk to ME about these things."

Although I try to avoid arguments with her anymore, I couldn't help myself, and snapped "Because you told me I was to blame for someone stalking me."

Without skipping a beat, the Amnesiac snapped, "you're STILL talking about that?"

"No," (mostly true, although her actions still hurt me to this day,) "but it comes down to a lack of trust."

She didn't have a snappy comeback for that one. Years later, and she still thinks she was in the right for saying something so heartless to her own kid.

not telling anyone anything

2023-02-14T05:23:56+00:00

the past couple of years the relationship with my mom has suffered a lot. Today, it's at an all time low. The basis of this is because I can't give her what she wants. I'm not physical (not a hugger, kisser, etc), I don't say nice things usually, I'm very apathetic and I don't tell her anything.

I don't do this on purpose, this is just how I am. Today, for example, I had a job interview which I told no one about. After it was done she asked me who I was talking to. I told her and she got really mad because I never share things with her. This escalated into an argument, which I did not take part in because I'm just done with that.

I'm not hiding things from her, that's not how I see it. I just don't want to talk about stuff with anyone. I don't wanna tell anybody.

Have any of you been accused of secrecy as well? What happened? How did you deal with it?
