For a little bit of context - I’ve tried over and over to have a good relationship with my MIL. I’m a forgiving person by nature and have given her grace time and time again. There are days when she’s nice, but the smallest thing will set her off. When she’s not bashing me, she’s bashing her youngest son’s wife. She constantly gossips about people in the family, and it’s exhausting. I’ve done my best to stay patient and work things out, but I’m realizing now that it’s never going to change. She’s done things like accuse me of neglecting my children (which is completely false), and threatens to call CPS. She’s even gone through my things, put a tracker on my car, and stalked me. She has no respect for my boundaries and treats me terribly. She claims I only feed my daughter sugary foods, but she’s the one giving her choking hazards like candy & she is the one who even introduced my daughter to sweets in the first place, despite my husband and I telling her not to. And when I tried to set a boundary, she got in my face, cussed at me, and acted completely psycho. To make matters worse, she constantly meddles in my marriage and she wants my husband to leave me so bad and says things like "you can do so much better" & "everyone in the family agrees that you deserve better than her." She tries to tell me how to parent my kids, acting like she was the best mom in the world. It’s hard to take her seriously when her own sons can’t even stand to be around her for more than a couple hours because of the things she’s done to them. She projects so much onto me and uses me as her scapegoat for everything. If my husband does something she doesn’t like, she blames me. The worst part is, my daughter LOVES her and only asks for her grandma when MIL is in the house. I never wanted to take that away from her. But it’s only a matter of time before MIL poisons my daughter against me. I’m so afraid of that happening, and in a selfish way, I don’t want my son to even get attached to her because of how toxic she is. I’ve forgiven her time and time again because I want peace, but enough is enough. I know MIL treats my daughter well, but I can’t ignore how destructive her behavior is for me and my relationship with my children. It’s going to affect them in ways that will be hard to undo, and I can’t risk that. My husband does support me, but since we’re renting from my brother-in-law, I think he feels obligated to stay in this house for now. & my MIL is barely here, but when she is here she creates chaos and drama and then disappears again. But I can’t stay here for another second. I’m taking my kids and moving in with my parents, and I’ve already been staying there on weekends to get away from the toxic environment. I’m doing this to protect myself and my kids, but I know his family is going to twist things and make me seem like the bad guy. MIL will probably play the victim and try to paint me as the villain, but I’m at my breaking point. I can’t keep sacrificing my peace and my kids’ well-being for someone who constantly crosses boundaries and refuses to respect me. AITA for trying to keep my kids away from someone who has done nothing but treat me badly, even if she treats my daughter “well”? & even if she is a good grandma to them? I feel like I’m just trying to protect my family from a toxic environment and a toxic individual but I’m afraid they’ll see me as the one ruining everything and say that "I'm breaking up my family" because I'm choosing to leave. (MIL feels entitled to come in this house because it's her youngest sons house but she is rarely here)
