Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hello, Over a month ago I posted about my nada in law taking out a life insurance policy on my 1 year old son. The policy listed her as beneficiary AND my signature was forged to get the policy... SO-I went after her through the insurance company investigators and went NC with her. My husband did the same. I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. I believe she lied to the investigators and guess what? The insurance agent was fired and she comes out acting like a victim! It was definitely a wake up to me to never forget how smooth and manipulative BPs can be (my BP grand-nada-the reason I'm on this site has been dead 7 years) but the slickness that nada in law side stepped any responsibility made me think grand nada had risen from her grave! The saddest part of this-my husband believes her-that she had no idea she would benefit from something happening to our son, that she would never have forged the signature that she very innocently just signed where she was told to. He says he has to or accept that or believe his mother is a complete monster. It's heartbreaking and scary at the same time. The rest of his family is angry with me, but I really could care less. The only good thing-she has told my husband she is afraid of me. Anyway, lesson learned. I can't force her to take responsibility for anything. I love the " medium chill " concept posted previously and will be using it as it's brilliant for those situations where you can't go completely NC-so thanks so much for sharing that!

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Well, maybe if she is afraid of you then she will leave you alone? I'm glad you stood up for your family and you son. Kudos. > > Hello, > > Over a month ago I posted about my nada in law taking out a life insurance policy on my 1 year old son.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Oh my gosh, this is all so unsettling. Just the fact that she thought it was ok to forge your signature sends chills down my spine. How could anyone justify that to themselves without some kind of sicko motive? It's just plain illegal. I feel so bad for your husband, that as much as he doesn't want to see it, something's awfully wrong with his mother and he will probably need to go NC with her. I'm glad she's afraid of YOU. > > Hello, > > Over a month ago I posted about my nada in law taking out a life insurance policy on my 1 year old son.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for sharing that update! That took a lot of courage on your part to follow your gut instinct that something was off-kilter and to deal with it proactively instead of shrinking back. You called out your nada-in-law on her bizarre and (in my opinion) creepy and criminal behavior and did not let her get away with it. Kudos to you! " Accident " my ass; forging someone else's signature on a contract is a deliberate criminal act. She " innocently " signed *your name*. ...yeah, right. Its sad that your husband isn't yet willing to admit that his mother behaved in an absolutely reprehensible way; he's still toeing the family line out of misplaced loyalty, or, perhaps he's afraid of her. But if your nada-in-law is unable to control herself and does other similarly bizarre, creepy, criminal-type things in the future, maybe your husband will see the light, so to speak. In my own personal opinion that's a good thing that she is now " afraid " of you; maybe that will make her think twice about attempting other weird, creepy crap like that. But at the same time, keep your guard up. My nada used to feel entitled to engage in revenge behaviors when she believed she'd been disrespected or thwarted. In any case, you are to be commended for your bravery, in my opinion. -Annie > > Hello, > > Over a month ago I posted about my nada in law taking out a life insurance policy on my 1 year old son.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Wowzers. Watch out for the triangulation maneuver...if your DH drinks the Koolaid, then feels sorry for her and angry at you for scaring her, things could get worse! > > > > Hello, > > > > Over a month ago I posted about my nada in law taking out a life insurance policy on my 1 year old son.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm with kimberj103, watch out for triangulation. When she says she is " afraid " of you my warning bells go off that she is setting you up for later down the road. > > Hello, > > Over a month ago I posted about my nada in law taking out a life insurance policy on my 1 year old son.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks everyone for the comments and support! I'm sure there will be revenge down the line-there always is with her. I'm really hoping to become a medium chill master and somehow manage to have a cool but civil relationship...though I'm sure she will see that civility will never be possible-not enough chaos and crisis for her tastes! However,my goal is to deal with her crap with grace and dignity and not let her under my skin or let her get me flustered and upset (which she enjoys). I think my new found cold Marvin the Martian anger is the scariest thing for her because she doesn't know how to push my buttons or get at me and I just do whatever has to be done to set the boundary. I would like to thank everyone on this message board. Reading your posts and comments has really helped give me strength and taken away the isolation. So thanks everyone for giving me courage! > > > > Hello, > > > > Over a month ago I posted about my nada in law taking out a life insurance policy on my 1 year old son.
