My mother in law is posting awful things about me on public forums. Very hurt, should I tell my husband?
While doing a google search to try to locate one of my husband's relatives, I stumbled upon some posts in a public forum that my husband's mother has written over the past few months. She did not use my name, however she used her own name and said all kinds of horrible things about her daughter in law. I am her only daughter in law. She called me every nasty word you can think of, and said that I am the cause of all the stress that is making her so ill (she has leukemia), and blames me for all the problems she has with my husband. He stopped all communication with her many years ago because she had been so mean to me ever since our marriage (over 20 years ago). The main reason for the problem in the beginning was the fact that I am not Catholic. I was raised Presbyterian and we got married in the Presbyterian church, and shortly after that my husband joined my church and we raised our children in my church. It has now gone way beyond religion and she is spewing venom about how horrible I am on the internet. I haven't shown my husband the forum posts and don't know if I should, but I am feeling so hurt right now.
I was not searching for her and would not search for her....I was searching for a cousin whom we received a Christmas card from with no return address. We all have an unusual last name and her postings came up in the search.
She may be miserable but she is not alone. She is married my husband's father who has tried to keep in contact with my husband until she forbid him to.
It has not been 20 years since my husband talked to his mother....he tried for over 10 years after we got married to make things work, the last straw was when she got mad when we went on a planned vacation on a week that wasn't convenient for her. She showed up at my Mom's house and yelled at my Mom like it was her fault or something. Religion started the problem but it just grew from there.
I'm not the reason my husband doesn't have a relationship with her. He tried, but she wouldn't stop doing everything in her power to control his every move and throw a fit when she didn't get her way.

Sounds like she is just mean and hateful. I would tell my husband and then confront her.

I would show him and let him deal with it.
- yes! yes! yes!
I would show him the postings and let him deal with it as he sees fit.

Unless you can complain to whoever runs that public board, there really isn't that much you can do. I would suggest that you continue to have nothing to do with this woman because it would appear that she is spiteful to the core. I have dealt with such issues in my life and that would be the only real course of action that you can take.
