My so called mother in law has abused my wife financially and emotionally far too long even after she married to me.
On a monthly basis, she always took a certain amount despite the fact that she receives a relatively good retirement pension. Recently, my wife decided to stop making these payments because our own expenses increased.
My supposed mother in law grew hostile towards not only but also my wife. She literally abused me in my house using the lowest type of insults imaginable. I knew why she is doing that but I pushed my limits and decided to let go off of it but never treat her the same way and be cold (deservingly so).
Now she has again asked my wife that she should start giving her the money like before because she actually needs it. Mind you with the money she gets is more than sufficient to live decently.
My wife has started giving her the money like before and my mother in law has told her that it is your money and she does not care if I am upset.
I find this situation really difficult to digest as my wife and both know that her monther is spending the money on totally unnecessary stuff or on her other married daughter when she is visiting them and staying with them.
