Today, my mother-in-law gave me a bottle of champagne for my birthday. This is the third year in a row she has done this. I'm a recovering alcoholic, and she's well aware of that fact. FML

You should get pissed! Maybe she likes you better when you're drunk. Some recovering alcoholics are self-righteous and boring, and maybe you were more amusing when you were loaded.

First and foremost - congraulations for beating your demon! Stay strong and keep control of your life! Secondly, your mother-in-law is a rude. mean, sadistic bitch. I hope your husband understands when you take that bottle of champagne, smash it on the ground in front of her and tell her to ****-off for trying to ruin all the success you've worked so hard to gain. My advice, ignore her. She's an asshole and you sound like you're above her pettiness.

More power to you for overcoming that. She is most likely doing it to test you. Or troll you

You should be so proud of yourself for beating it. It could be that she thinks it is okay because you are recovered and she thinks it is alright in moderation. Could you talk to her and tell her it is not an appropriate gift? She might just think it is all right in moderation when it isn't? You say she has done it twice before -so maybe she still doesn't understand..... or she is being manipulative. Good luck OP with whatever you do :)

simply preserve it and gift it to your daughter-in-law when your son gets married.. she would surely love to have it... and if she refuses then take it some museum or may be some other place..

With all due respect, you're a ******* moron. Please go find a shovel and smack yourself repeatedly in the face with it. Maybe that will beat some sense into you, but I highly doubt it.

With all do respect you are a moron for missing the obvious sarcasm that was in that statement. They followed it by a freaking >.< for God's sake. Plus how ****** up are you that you jump to from a statement you disagree with to telling them to beat their face in with a shovel?

He's an ER doctor and you obviously don't understand how the Internet works if you think sarcasm can be expressed by using "a freaking >.

I know how it works. I have also seen his comments when someone misses his sarcasm so it is a bit off for him to jump on someone else.

ChibiChibi - I detected not one iota of sarcasm, and the seemingly-random punctuation at the end did nothing to make it any more obvious. I wasn't aware that >. was the universal symbol for sarcasm. Now kindly piss off.

Or maybe the mother-in-law wants to see her son's wife relapse.
