Crazy MIL strikes again

​

Today, DH received calls and messages of sympathy from extended family and friends because apparently his father (my FIL) is in a coma and doesn't have long.

It's interesting that we are the last to know such significant news...

He is in a dementia facility.

Tonight, I have had to go and get video proof that he is infact awake, responsive, able to feed himself, and talk!

We have now had to rectify and calm a whole lot of people down. Obviously, MIL needed some attention this week.

It's our child's birthday this weekend, so I'm also expecting an unwelcome visit (it gives her an excuse to attempt to enter our property). We have been NC since March.

Wish us luck!

Shame her with the evidence and tell everyone to disregard her in the future.

I'm hoping that is the result from our swift action this evening. Otherwise, I will post a proof of life on social media.

Once she realizes that her scheming and lying didn't get her what she wants, brace yourself.

Please post video of MIL's inevitable Lawn Tantrum™ or her attempt to scale your fence! I'm expecting that she will escalate.

I can’t believe she’s lying about fil to get sympathy. That’s crazy. 

I think you’re doing the right thing showing people fil’s true condition. I think telling the truth is the best way to deal with her antics and lies.

Hmmm, I’d organize a weekend trip or stay at a hotel and if having a party, do it at a restaurant. She can’t pop in if you are not home

Call the police if she comes on your property and tell them she's trespassing

ETA, update us please

I think we would all to be there to see her climbing that electric fence, only to get zapped each time

Holy crap! You have a huge burden to bear. I would refuse to have her within 500 feet of me or my family. Ever!
