Problems with MIL

Hi all, how do you all deal with problematic MILs? In summary, we moved out 2.5 yrs ago due to a quarrel she had with her son, but blamed me for not supporting her and even called me names. It was a torturous 3 months before I packed my luggage and moved out on a sour note with my husband. Currently, I'm pregnant and my FIL is aware(definitely will tell her). I'm just thinking about the future, i don't ever wanna see her but what if they want to see the baby? Should i allow? God knows what she will do to the baby? My husband is not on talking terms with her too. Even though 2.5 yrs have passed, my hatred towards her is still strong. Sigh.

Protect you and your hubby's mental health. There is a reason for not speaking to the MIL, and it's just too bad for the innocent FIL for losing out on grandpa experience. Your baby don't need to meet anyone that you don't feel comfortable with. You must have your reasons and don't let bad history prevent you from enjoying all the beautiful moments that both you and your hubby have with your baby.
