Top this! Another MIL RANT!!

So we had her and the rest of my inlaws for dinner last nite. We do rotating dinners once a week at each of our houses...my husband and his 2 brothers. We all get along great! Touch wood! Then there's my MIL!! So due to limited seating on our sofa I decided to sit on a floor cushion. I had both my legs to the side...try to picture it if u can...and she goes to me 'oh no! Don't sit like that, the cord will get wrapped around your baby's neck that way!!!' I was stunned and said what?? I've never heard of this before and my dr said there is no such thing!! Besides in our prayers we sit like that too! And she goes 'oh well that's prayers but u shouldn't sit like that and that's why....' And she stopped. I knew exactly what she was gonna say next! I lost our baby girl in dec 2011 due to a cord accident at 20 weeks pregnancy! This bloody woman from hell is blaming me for causing our daughter's death!! I was gonna bawl!! Instead I stayed quiet and ran upstairs. My husband wasn't there at the moment and that's why she loves to pray on us DIL's when our husbands aren't around! I msg'd my husband immediately and he helped me calm down. How can someone just bluntly blame them for killing their child like that when there is no freakin scientific proof that SITTING a certain way will do that???? I know better and I try not to let her stupid mentality get to me, but she gets there! Right under my skin! Wish I could hibernate for the next 6 months!! Sorry for the long rant! Thought some of you might enjoy the real piece of work my MIL is! Cuz her stupidity is making me laugh at her craziness right now!

Wow. I am so, so sorry. What an unbelievably vile thing to say.
I really hope she realizes how awful what she said was, and apologizes.
I hope you know that there is nothing you did to cause your daughter's death. I
You are better then me cause I think I would have went to jail for murder if she had said that to me.
Sorry for your loss and for your dumb MIL.

I refuse to be alone with my MIL because that is when she attacks.

Why not confront her? Call her out? Say something?
Why not communicate what she just said was an awful thing to say and that she should be ashamed of herself?
I think instead of running and hiding then ve
