Sending P&PT's your way, Jennifer. I know that confronting people is never easy. Keep it straight forward, matter-of-fact & don't be reduced to mudslinging or allow her to put you down. You are an adult. You are a married woman. You are a mom. You can do this! You deserve to put yourself first in this trying time when dh is gone. You posted about this woman dumping off her junk along time ago, didn't you? OMG! You soooo do NOT need this. I support you 100%, gf! Good luck! (((hugs))) jan

OMG! I think I know this woman. My mentally challenged dd got the mail for our neighbor while she was on vacation. She said she would pay her when she returned & I thought that was fair. Well, dd never saw any money. The neighbor cleaned out her freezer upon her return & gave my dd a box of expensive chocolates that were freezer burned & smelled awful. They were inedible. It was so hard explaining that to my dd. I bought her some search-a-word books & lied & said they were from the neighbor. This woman is a widow & lives well. She has 2 vehicles, both brand new & one's a Cadillac. What is wrong with this picture?


I truly believe your mil is an eccentric @ the very least. I am so sorry for you, Jennifer. Next time you invite mil over, have a big bonfire of all that garbage. Tell her some homeless person has been leaving their junk in your garage. LOL Good luck! This woman will never change. (((hugs))) jan

hi jennifer,


good for you for facing your MIL...it may intially bring up more anxiety, but hopefully in the long run this will reduce some of your anxiety about your MIL.
