Almost 2 years ago, I wrote "Childless "evil" step-mom seeking outlet for full time horror." It was a rough end of the year. My in-laws visited, my mother-in-law listened to my sad tales of woe and horror with kids, seeming supportive. Then, when they left, called to tell my DH that they worried --> I <-- was going to put the SS in a mental institution because I was the one who had a problem. Since I "went and quit my job" they were concerned that I was going to lash out at SS and put him in a place he didn't need to be. And, they offered to take him off our hands.
