Hi Gigi, Was reading your post and what kept going through my mind was that although you describe you MIL's mind as clear as a bell the thought that she doesn't want to take care of her hygiene, eat, clean up etc. as well as her attitute toward others seems to show she may be having some type of mental difficulties. These things are not normal if a person has a healthy mind. The only thing I can suggest which I know from experience can be very difficult is to have someone get her to a doctor to have her checked out to see what is going on. If she does have some sort of chemical inbalance or other physcological condition this would explain what she has been doing. If she checks out okay and is just overbearing then I would keep my distance if I were you in order to protect my own health. However, it still sounds to me like she could use a good checkup to rule out anything else. I would leave that up to someone else to do as you have enough health problems of your own and need to take care of yourself first. I wish you the best and please let me know if this works out.
