I hate it…

First off, just let me say that my Father-in-law is an asshole.  Despite any words that come out of his mouth, his actions prove that he does not love or care about his family.  He and hubby are supposed to be 50/50 business partners - yet his dad uses the debit card like it’s free money and is constantly overdrafting the account.  Hubby was saving up some money for the both of them to use like Christmas bonuses in a couple of weeks and FIL wiped it out and overdrew the account by $1000.00.  He’s gone out of state to work again b/c “it’s good money” yet he always ends up spending more than he earns on hotel, food, gas, sending money home (if there’s any left after the first few items and all of his going out).  He hasn’t learned after going out of state a dozen separate times that it costs him more than he makes.  The kids always go nuts when he leaves (18 & 13 right now) and drive MIL bonkers.  Literally.  She always has at least one nervous breakdown b/c of the kids.  Which leads me to the main point of this post….

I hate that when FIL goes out of town, I lose my husband.  Yes, now he has to take care of his mom.  And b/c she is so needy and whiny, hubby spends more time with her, more time talking to her, has to stop by her house like everyday.  It’s like I’m being punished b/c I can fend for myself.  It never fails.  This happens all the time.  She always has to call hubby up and cry on his shoulder over her latest and greatest crisis.  There’s always something happening.  The last time FIL went out of town, someone supposedly threatened to beat up MIL b/c FIL owed them money.  Now, FIL just left last week, and this person has started it up again.  So DH has to like go over there in case a brawl breaks out or anything.  It’s ridiculous.  And, we’re going to have start supporting her as much as we can money-wise b/c he (FIL) found out that he won’t be making as much money as he had first been told.  And by the time he pays for hotel, food, gas, there won’t be much of anything to send home. 

I just hate it.  I love my husband so much. But if we ever break up - it will be because of his mother.  She has not yet learned to cut the cord.
