It might be a good idea for your family to go see a therapist together. Get in a safe environment where you can express all of this to her and have a trained
professional there to back you up.
Granny sounds very selfish and knows exactly what game she is playing. |

I could probably tell you how this will play out if you reply back to her

 I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this. My father's mother was a troublemaking old hag too, so I can kind of understand what
you're dealing with. This woman is clearly a manipulative crow. For her to so blatantly disregard what you wrote and then turn it around on you is BS. Ugh,
I'm so frustrated for you.

You're not being a drama queen. It's like all of the little things are finally bubbling over. I know we're all probably making it worse and making
you more upset, but you have the right to be. She is manipulating and controlling. We feel for you.

Wow. this bitch. I'm sorry I'd be over the trip as well. Seriously tell your husband either she's going or you're going - simple as that.
You're a good one because I would have emailed her back like "you need to remember who you are." She has a lot of nerve. This is a woman that if
you never make it clear the boundaries of your relationship it will always be like this. Always. She just needs someone to stand up to her and she will surely
chill the fuck out.

Someone just needs to tell her "Back off, Endora". She's a crazy person.

Clearly she has no concept of boundaries because she not only oversteps them, but continues to do so even after being told not to! I can't believe ever
after being OFFENDED, she's still going!!!
Again, your husband needs to step up and handles this situation pronto. |

OMG she has turned this all on you with her "I'm taken aback" comments and how she is EXTREMELY OFFENDED.
She is laying the blame and guilt on you. If you intend on replying just simply say something like... "All I asked is if I could have a few days vacation alone with my husband and child. Please remember who YOU are also. You are my mother-in-law who invited herself along on on a private family vacation without asking and is now blowing this entire thing out of proportion. I now find no joy in this trip. I love you too and I look forward to other opportunities to vacation together but I wanted this one alone before presenting you with yet another grandchild to love. I didn't feel I was asking so much." |

She is going to lash out at MIL. MIL will call son and cry and lay a big guilt trip on him. She might go to the extent where she becomes depressed and does
nothing but cry and play the upset MIL card. This will cause a big issue between the entire family not to mention a strain on husband and wife.
It does not end well. It's not easy to deal with a son and mother. Especially when it sounds like the son doesn't want to do anything to stick up for his wife. Oh and you are not a drama queen. You have every right to be upset. Don't cave just go about it planned and take baby steps. |

I'm surprised your husband won't stand up for you. You need to seriously threaten to not go on this trip and tell him he is making you sick.

I have read this entire thread and the MIL is certifiable. "Please remember who you are, YOU are my son's wife and my granddaughter's
mother." That right there is so fucking possessive, everything is about her and she's very manipulative. MINE MINE MINE MINE! Obviously we're on
the outside looking in, but the fact is if you don't put your bitchfoot down now she's just going keep on doing what she does.

Oh mands! I really hope this gets resolved for you and I hope the outcome is good! I am on your side girl. Even if people think you are a bitch just say how
you feel! Don't feel guilty either, you deserve alone time with your family!
