We'll also put a link in this episode description. My mother-in-law suddenly passed away in a car accident last month. At the same time, my stalker disappeared. Coincidence? Probably not. Probably not. So that's so sad. Messed up. So my mother-in-law, and I have never had a good relationship. She has tried to sabotage my relationship with my husband since the day she met me. I wasn't good enough for her handsome and successful boy, which is a crime on its own, like women protecting their sons like this and being obsessed with their children. Handsome, successful boy. Vomit. Vomit. Anyway, so. You can think your child is successful without being obsessed with you. And you can think they're handsome without babying an adult man. Yeah. I contemplated ending. I contemplated ending my relationship several times, but my husband always showed that he is on my side and I love him. Okay, that's good. A few years ago, I started getting very threatening and scary emails and texts from a PAX. So PAX is the name of the Texter emailer. This PAX knew everything about me. It didn't matter how many emails and phone numbers I changed. They or he always found me. I made several reports, but nothing happened. My husband tried everything to trace these emails. Nothing came out of it. Okay, so this is going in the direction of what's that documentary where like the mom was. That documentary unknown number. Yes. Yeah. Okay, so this is the direction it's going in because I went when you read that like subreddit for the title of the post, I thought it was me like the stalker accidentally killed the mother-in-law. But now we're like, oh, okay, okay. Well, yeah, to torment your own high school daughter is so deranged. It's like that is a dangerous, dangerous woman. And we'll talk about how tangled relationships are when you even find out your parent is doing something like this, how hard it would be to accept. Yeah. But the husband in this situation was really helpful in trying to get to the bottom, which I appreciate. Great, great, great husband, green flag there. Totally. So no matter what PAX always found her and she was under the impression that PAX was a guy based on the language that was being used. And the original poster says I made several reports, but nothing happened. And this past year, I basically never left the apartment alone. So saying that she got so scared of this that it was. She was afraid to leave the house alone. Yeah. So she says I haven't received a single threatening text or email from PAX in a month. After a few days, I wasn't surprised. I felt like I always knew it was my mother-in-law deep down. My husband hasn't reacted yet. He's consumed with his grief and I don't want to bother him. Especially when he bitterly told me you must be very pleased now. When we heard the news and I tried to comfort him. He apologized later and said he was just feeling guilty that he loved and chose me more than he loved her. Well, that's so complicated. Yeah. That's so complicated. And also, it would be one thing to find out your mom was this PAX person while she's still alive. But to be dealing with the grief of losing your mom, regardless of how complicated your relationship is, you could hate your parent. And if they die, people still have so much grief and that feeling of loss. That's primal. Yeah. I mean, they're the most foundational relationships human beings can have. I mean, they mold who we are and we feel totally intertwined with them. So it makes total sense like it's impossible let go. That's so sad. So she continues. Okay. Now, I'm waiting for my husband to connect the dots. Will he get it? If he does, will he talk to me about it? I don't know if I will ever bring it up to him. Also, I won't relax and go back to my normal life just yet. But I know in my heart that it's over and I can't be happier about my life. Well, yeah. And she's entitled to feel that relief because she was being tormented by this woman. Also, I'm curious if maybe this will be in updates, but when you lose someone and you start to go through their things, do they find anything that proves? I've actually heard a lot of stories like that where one story I heard was this woman was dealing with like constant people stealing her identity constantly. And like basically her financial life was in ruins. And when her mom died, she found all the documents that it was her mom. And then it's like you can't do anything with the anger. Yes, they're gone. Yeah. Crazy. So do you think you'd tell the husband or do you think you'd wait? I would wait because I would empathize so much with their processing the grief. And then I would be able to like sit with my relief of it being over, but I wouldn't want to throw that on them. Right. What about you? I think I would have started accusing the mother-in-law the second I suspected it. Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of like, yeah, I'm not, I can't be calculating like that. Yeah. So my husband at the time of her death would have already known that I thought it was hard. I do agree with that. But I think if you didn't put it together until after, I wouldn't. Yes. Choose them. Yeah. I wouldn't. To bring that for the first time. Yeah. Thanks for listening to this preview of Crimes of Reddit with Sabrina Deanna Roga and Alexis Linkletter.
