My Husband walked out last week! But I have already been and sort legal advice before he did this. His parents have taken a dislike to me since our son was born 11 months ago. My Husbands mother has caused trouble from day 1. She has said that I am not welcome in there house and that the children are to be brought over without me. I did not want to upset the kids so I said that they could come to my house and I would go out!! I thought that this would solve the matter end my Husband get the opportunity to show off his new son. They refused saying that they would not set foot in my Husbands(there son) or my House ever again. I didn't think that the children should be taught that it was ok to exclude mummy, and My mother-in-law would do everything in her power to make Birthdays Christmas etc more special over there- and leave me out from my kids. Anyway it camt to a head last week my Husband blaming me calling me a c***!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we are now having a Divorce. Can I stop my in-laws from seeing my kids and messing with there heads. Anyone
I am still breastfeeding and running a business from home which is quiet at the moment. I suggested that my Husband get a job as we do not have much work on and he does 8hours at the most a week. He told me to get a job called me a Lazy c*** ( that horrible word again) and said the fact we didn't have work was because I didn't get him any. Then walked out!!!
He is obviously not wired right and I am glad for the lucky escape as we have only been married 16 months. My looks haven't gone south yet and I have a brain so I thank him for being a dick so early on in the marriage, but it's the parent's I need advice on. Thank you

i presume your husband would have contact with your children. its likely he would want to take them to his parents.

i don't see how you would prevent this, unless you could prove that they were "messing with their heads", which i suppose would be construed as emotional abuse, but would be very hard to prove.

Yes he would want to take them there. I just don't trust them. They dislike me so much I worry what they would say to the children.

I really feel for you having suffered the wrath of a savage mother-in-law. However, for me, our children being 15 and 11 and hearing her being so horrible and nasty to me has meant they no longer wish to see her and through her own doing she has lost two grandchildren. People who behave in such an immature and disrespectful way get found out in the end. They should really be thinking about the children and what is best for them, not the adults involved who should know better.

hi

I have been on the receiving end of my stbx's mother after we split in August 08 - she thinks that her daughter is completely innocent in this, the sun sets everytime she sits down etc etc - the vituperous and spiteful and nasty texts I got from m-i-l were of such an intensity that I would never want to repeat them to anyone - m-i-l has 3 failed marriages behind her (they all left her), so I feel that she was taking it out on me by proxy for her daughter's decision to destroy the family unit....at least I've got rid of m-i-l at the same time and good luck to anyone who ends up with my stbx - they won't know what hit them!

thank you for that reply. I can't stand the head games that this woman has played with my Husband.I now want to move away from the area as I have no family hear to find out that he could stop me even though it would be the same country!!

Surely I can't be made to stay near them when the flood gares of Divorce open!!
Do you know?
