I really would cut off all visits with her. You have to protect your child from emotional and physical abuse. Who knows who this new man is in your MIL's life and how he behaved toward your daugher. Your MIL's own lifestyle would be enough to cut any ties. She is not only a bad influence, but dangerous. You really don't want your daughter developing affection for someone who would lead your child into misery. It could affect her throughout her life. If the unthinkable happened to your child, what would your husband and MIL be able to say. I'm sorry? How far would that go? Even if your husband seems less than supportive, please lay down the law and let everyone know that enough is enough, and your daughter will no longer be a part of MIL's life.
Perhaps your family could move and get a fresh start far, far away.

She calls her granddaughter a bitch and doesn't remember????
Do you think she may have been drinking, or have you considered the fact that she may have some mental issues?
She was driving when we spoke but sadly the drinking is likely as she does this a couple or more times a month. We are positive she has mental issues. 42 years of smoking stuff is bound to kill a few brain cells. Of course you can't tell her that.....she's just fine.
She's not some drug junkie, she smokes the one thing, she's always had a steady job, and she does well for herself. Just don't want ppl thinking she's a stereo-typical junkie.
Sorry, but she's a druggie. She is a functioning drug addict and should go to Narcotics Anonymous.
I would not let her around my kids under any reason. I don't even care if it was in my own home and I was watching every second of the day.
I really do agree wholeheartedly with DebBTX. Sell the house and get away from this evil person.
So picture this....10 years from now when your DD is 13... and she comes home, all high on dope, booze, or whatever, and says, "Well GRANDMA does it Mom, Why can't I!"
DH agreed to let her stay b/c he's hoping that bubbie will get attached and change.
I cannot believe that your DH would want to try this at your DD's expense! There is absolutely no telling what she said to your DD or how she treated her. Let me tell you I have witnessed the way someone can treat a little child in private not knowing I saw and then be a totally different person when others are around. It is not a safe environment physically or mentally for your DD and if I were you I would NEVER EVER leave her alone without you or your DH present. NEVER!
If you think she isn't drinking and smoking around your DD forget it! She finds all kinds of ways to sneak it in. OMG how dangerous! It worries me to think that you might give in and allow another unsupervised visit. PLEASE PLEASE DON'T. Stand up for DD because she cannot protect herself and doesn't know what is right or wrong especially from what should be a loving Grandparent. Please stop it before any more damage is done.
