I officially did something mean today....VENT, LONG

Ok, I didn't call JT's parents to wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. I know it's mean, but I do not want to talk to them, and by them, I mean his mother, the only one who ever gets on the phone over there, anyway. Some background info:

This past Saturday, JT's mother told him that she might come out to his sister's house on for dinner that Sunday, but that she would call him early in the day to let him know if they were going. So Sunday comes and starts to go and as we're about to sit down to dinner, the phone rings and it's JT's sister and she says, 'Mom and Dad are here. Aren't you coming over?' Then she hung up. So he was pissed because he assumed they never came out here since they never bothered to call him. So right before we're about to sit down to dinner, he puts his shoes on and gets his keys and is about to leave to go see his parents and I asked him where the hell he was going. Then he proceeded to say how much he hates his family and who do they think they are just calling him and expecting him to jump up. So I explained to him that he had the choice to either run out the door at their beck and call, or to not let them run his life. So I told him I was not abotu to run out the door, but that if he would wait until after dinner, I would go with him to see his parents. Fine, so we eat and go over.
As we're getting ready to leave, JT's mother turns to him and yells, 'FINE! Just leave! Hopefully I'll get to see you before Christmas!' All because he had to work from 5am-9pm for Thanksgiving and couldn't go to her house. So he said to her, 'Mom, you know I have to work, I don't have a choice.' So again, she yells at him, 'WELL DON'T LOSE ANY SLEEP OVER IT!' That's when I flipped my f-ing lid. I looked at her and told her she was being absolutely ridiculous and that she had no right to talk to him that way when he's working on Thanksgiving just so we have money for our wedding and a house. Then we left.
So PS- I'm not talking to her. I've had it with her. I hate her, I do not want a relationship with her and I think she's emotionally abusive to her son. So I didn't bother to call her today. I still feel bad that I didn't call, but I also am not about to talk to her. JT even said to me the other day that he wants to move off of Long Island to get away from his family because he hates them. GOD! I HATE THIS WOMAN! Anyway, I just had to vent. Thanks.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Your FMIL needs to understand things like he has to work and people can't just jump up for them!
Just keep being there for JT.

I am soo sorry that you and you Fh husband had to go through that! I think you have every right to not to talk to hear. I understand that she is his mother but come on already he is a grown man and he had to work she should at least understand that. they could at least have called ya's to let you know that she was coming out . I dont mean to sound me but does this woman think everything revolves around her . she should not make him feel bad. gl to you both and if you ever need to vent WE are here for you both.

Thanks ladies. I feel like I am constantly complaining about her lately, but I have to say, I am ready to explode. I think that on normal days, I can deal with her and her strange ways, but when it starts to upset JT, that's when I lose it. I feel like, how dare she do that to someone I love so much? I mean, I would feel that way towards anyone else who was purposely hurting someone I love, so why should I roll over and accept it from her? It's a really hard thing to hear when your fh/dh tells you something as upsetting as 'I hate my family' and you know that they REALLY mean it. It breaks my heart. I feel so bad for him and he tries and tries and tries with his mother and she is just so miserable. I hope that some day he can let go of this awful hold she has on him so that he can be happy

Oh, sweety hugs! I can't believe she is being like this and expects this of him knowing he has been working so hard. Sounds like there needs to be some boundaries set and she needs to understand that JT and you can not be treated this way.
