After a handful of Blood Pressure pills and some Tequilia..

I couldn't believe what I was hearing as I walked out of the bathroom.

I have to explain why my hubby tolerates his "mother's" behavior the way he does.

First, my hubby was abandoned as a child. His grandparents who were old old at the time came to the house where hubby, his brother and their sperm donor & egg supplier (for the lack of better names for people that would abandon children) lived, to get the boys, after a neighbor called and said the boys had been alone for days.

The grandparents raised the boys for a couple years but they were getting really old and couldn't handle raising 2 hell raising boys. So social services was called and the boys were placed in foster care. One was placed with their maternal aunt, my hubby was placed with a complete stranger, because the maternal aunt did not want them both.

Second, my husband lived in foster care for almost four years, when his father and his new wife (MIL) showed up to get hubby. After going through the channels MIL adopted hubby, his brother chose not to be adopted and has not kept in touch with his family. Anyways, not too long after he was adopted by MIL, hubby's sperm donor left MIL. MIL raised hubby even after the sperm donor disappeared from their life. They did not have anything. MIL often had to go to food pantry and salvation army but she still raised hubby and SIL. Hubby said as they were growing up since his mother didn't cook, she would go to food pantry and take the food over to her best friends house, the best friend would cook almost every meal. They even lived for a while with the friend, even today hubby sends birthday cards to that friend.

My hubby is surprisingly even tempered, fun, loving, warm and basically happy man despite his childhood. His "mother" has always been eccentric but not in a harmful way, just in a bizzare way, does that make sense? I hope so, because I don't know how else to describe her, other than what you all who have been reading for a while know about her, she's unique in her own "special" way.

Now, MIL was patting hubby's hand and ex BIL patted his shoulder, he looked at me with his fourteen shades of red upon his face, then at MIL and said," What the hell is wrong with your head?" His mother looked at him as if he had slapped her face. MIL said," Now youngin don't you be speakin at me that way." Hubby said," oh !!!( surprised look on face) I can't speak to you but you can ask me for money!!! That son of a bitch sits on his ass all day and does nothing!!! First, he knocks up my sister then leaves her with his kid and hooks up with my mother to sponge off her."

Just then BIL made the fatal error of trying to speak." Now don't you be..." Hubby turned and looked at him and said," You better shut your mouth right now Jim Jam ( not his real name but close) or I will knock what's left of your friggin teeth down your friggin throat, you friggin piece of shit."

OKAY, my mouth fell open, I am still standing in the hallway outside the bathroom door and thinking to myself, self, you just walked into the twilight zone, the world had to have changed in the two minutes you used the restroom. My husband never looses his temper and especially with his crazy mother.

As ex- BIL stood up and as hubby stood and MIL grabbed her walking cane to stand I rushed over and said, "we're going to town I need tylenol." MIL says," I got tylenol" I responded with "yeah but nothing strong to wash it down with" as I was dragging hubby out the door. Hubby was cussing under his breath and I could hear ex BIL telling MIL that hubby shouldn't be talking to him" thata way cuz I was bein nice by not throwin him a punch." MIL was yellin at ex- BIL,
"what the hell is the matter with you now we ain't gettin nothin."


Yeah there's more.... I have to stop, going through it once was bad, but to write it down...geeessshh..but this is my hubby's family, I don't have to love them, but I do love him.
