My mother in law has made it clear to me since day one she didn't want her daughter with me. For years I had to listen to the things she told people and I held my tongue for my wife's sake. She offered to move us from one state to hers cause she offered to help and we took her up on that cause we was in a tough spot. Everything was going good until I started to hear the phrase "wow dude I shouldn't of listen to her about you." First few time it was perplexing to not want to dig deeper for that info but I didn't. Then she left to another state and I was still hearing the phrase. So I recluse into my home and do nothing so no one thinks bad of me. I became a shell of myself and with an olive branch in one hand I didn't pay attention to the other which leads up to recent events. We moved to another state which was awesome my mother in law offered us a place to crash till we get money together which was only a couple months of hard work away which was nothing for us to accomplish. Things where going amazing me and my wife were happy and our relationship was Starting to flourish and both of our mental health finally started to get better. Then one night hanging out with the neighbors we had out in the country, we was at almost a nightly cookout and that phrase came out of no where. Confusion hit me like a truck. And the first question I could think of was "Did she really pull us out here and bad mouth us to the neighbors?", I just chuckled instead. And ignored the comment. Few nights pass and while me and the wife are in the kitchen with a couple people, B and N. N walked around the island and was seeing if anyone was around it seemed. Then her tone dropped and said " To be honest I don't know why your mother think your husband beats your we've seen how he treats you and he treats you like a queen." I was happy to hear other see how I treat my wife and she truly is the ruler of my entire world but dumbfounded to hear that my mother in law has been telling people I beat my wife. I grew up watching men man handle my mom and not be able to do anything and someone think I'm gonna out hands on my wife. My wife and I discussed it over a couple days before we addressed the rumor. She confirmed everything me and my wife feared was a reality. She doesn't want us together and still doesn't she confirmed she said I beat my wife and my son and verbally and mentally abuse them. My wife and I are far from the perfect relationship but we try to always try to improve our relationship and our own personal issues. My wife and I agreed if we hear even a rumor of a whisper she has anything negative to say about us we are leaving and cutting ties. She begged for a second chance and we gave it to her. She didn't even last a week before me and my wife went out on a couples day before she started calling us bad parents. We waited a bit and then heard she saying more. People knew about what we talked about with her mom because she made sure everyone in the neighborhood knew, but with current events is proving she probably lied to them about what was said. When I was finally done I gave my wife the option to stay with her mom or come with me and leave the abuse and she picked me. This girl is my real ride or die if she's willing to walk away from her family because of what they're doing to destroy our relationship and us in general. So we moved a few states away and she's still at it so far I have, master manipulator, brainwasher, drug dealer, abusive husband, abusive father, animal abuser/killer to my handy resume. She has my wife's whole family believing I have pretty much taken my wife hostage. She has her own car and all I've asked is to atleast let me see my son and she damn near slapped me. She said she swore forever and that's what she meant. So now we have had to delete our social media that they knew of and changed our number. Let's hope for awhile the BS is gone

🍻 to no more abusive mother in laws
