She keeps making up reasons for why she doesn’t like me ….

I’ve posted about my MIL before, but my husband talked to her today because she said “I’m depressed, I feel like you don’t like me.” She wanted to vent about me & my husbands been trying to understand why she doesn’t like me, and now she’s coming up with yet another reason.

This time she’s claiming that I told her, “If my husband doesn’t accept my kids, then I won’t accept his daughter.” That’s complete bullshit. My husband knows it’s not true, but I’m getting tired of her making up reasons to justify not liking me.

First, it was that I supposedly cussed in front of her. I’ve never even used words like “damn” in casual conversation with her, let alone disrespected her.

Then it was that I ignored her while she was talking to me. Why would I ignore her in her own house? Especially knowing my husband is big on speaking, greeting people, and being respectful.

Now it’s this.

At this point, it feels like she’s just throwing things at the wall trying to find a reason to dislike me because none of these accusations are true. Every time, it’s me being respectful to this woman, even after finding out she was calling me all kinds of names before I ever met her.

I’ve tried to be cordial and mature, but it’s hard when someone keeps rewriting bs to make you the villain.

I honestly think this has very little to do with me and a lot more to do with whatever she’s dealing with internally. Because if someone has to keep making up new reasons to dislike you, maybe the problem was never you to begin with.

Am I supposed to just shut up and let her keep telling dumb stories even though my husband knows it’s bs ??
