Battleaxe Galactica (BM's BM)
Has Alzheimers/dementia. She is in her early seventies. Chef always had a special affinity for her although I don't know why other than supposedly she was a good cook. The Girhippo, on the other hand, is a horrible cook but I digress.
The look on Chef's face is somewhat infuriating when he talks about her. A look of sadness and concern. This is the woman who aided and abetted the scorched-earth PAS campaign; literally right in front of our eyes steered his youngest son away from us in a school auditorium when the older two were in a play so as not to disrupt the narrative that "Dad couldn't be bothered to attend his children's play."
Didn't want the youngest one to see us at that play which would have called into question the Girhippo and Battleaxe Galactica's lie. This is a woman who lied about not getting child support for the Girhippo. And Chef bought it Hook Line & Sinker!
This is a woman that only wanted to be a friend and welcome Chef into their family as long as he could fix and repair things for free.
This is a gargantuan woman who literally blocked my entryway to a grocery store when she saw it was me causing onlookers great puzzlement.
Makes me want to take a frying pan to Chef's head and scream what are you thinking??!!!
Yes it is too bad that she came down with this but she is still evil to the core in my book.

I like to think that for some
I like to think that for some, things like this are the Karma Bus finally hitting them square in their face!
Yes, it is sad in the sense that she is a human being-ish but nah. After all that damage... not really.
Chef
Lost his own parents at a relatively young age being the last child of aged parents so I think he has a mother figure attachment to her although I have heard that Chef's actual mother couldn't stand the woman and with good reason.
She warned Chef that the Girhippo was much too juvenile for him. And that is saying something because Chef is often childlike. She talked about that family as being "giants." Lol. The men are well over 6 ft 2 and just as large weight wise. Oddly enough BG's father is 94 years old and still going strong.
Trauma Bond?
Sometimes I hang on to people who are toxic just because we "went through things together".
Thankfully my DH has no love
Thankfully my DH has no love for his ex MIL, I think he hates her more than he hates Meth Mouth.
What an awful disease.
What an awful disease.
Maybe Chef was trying to come across as compassionate, concerned, but thinking something very different inside his soul?
When I met DH he would tell
When I met DH he would tell me what a "nice guy" ex FIL was. I went to one flag football game and ex FIL was waving and loudly shouting DH's name with glee. I said to DH, "who is that guy?" Ex FIL appeared nice and "neutral", but then always tried to meddle. He was also a bit stalkerish and even after DH put him as an acquaintance on FB, he would still comment on DH's posts, including some from our date nights. He also told one SS that he was upset that DH didn't return his calls and didn't want to have lunch with him. However, it became clear that he was just advocating for BM. He wanted to attend one of DH's mediations with BM (BM was painting herself as a victim even though she demanded the mediation for reasons that are still unknown). Then ex FIL tried to get involved in BM's PA'ing and would send DH messages about how much it hurts the children to say "bad things" about the other parent in front of them (DH wasn't saying anything about BM in front of them). Then he tried to get DH to give up Christmas Eve and when DH replied and said he was going to follow the agreement, ex FIL replied by reminding DH of all the money he spent taking DH places when DH was married to BM. It was that last email that finally convinced DH (after years of my trying) that he needed to "unfriend" ex FIL. Crappy BIL and Narc MIL still keep in touch with him, but fortunately, DH has finally cut him off. DH always thought that ex MIL was just like BM, maybe even worse in terms of being a harpy and a b to everyone.
My first MIL
Was like this. She was definitely passive aggressive and two faced. She was secretly advocating for her son who was truly a deadbeat dad as he didn't want to work when we were first married BEFORE we had a child.
He quit his fairly well paying job with fantastic potential shortly after we were married. This was during an extreme time of "stagflation" and recession early '79 when you'd be crazy to quit ANY job. The ultimate bait and switch.
This was pre-draconian CS laws.
