A 21-year-old pregnant woman’s tumultuous relationship with her mother-in-law took a dramatic turn when she decided to stand up for herself. The woman, who was expecting twin girls, had been subjected to constant belittling and mistreatment by her husband’s mother.
The problems began when the mother-in-law moved in with the couple six months after her husband passed away. The woman tried her best to please her mother-in-law, but no matter how hard she tried, she was always met with criticism and disdain.
One incident that particularly hurt the woman was when her mother-in-law asked her to cook a traditional dish from her homeland without any guidance or help. Despite her best efforts, the dish was rejected, and her mother-in-law threw the plate away, telling her it was awful.
The woman had had enough of her mother-in-law’s abusive behavior and decided to stand up for herself. She told her mother-in-law that she would no longer be treated like a servant and that she deserved to be treated with kindness and respect.
However, her words fell on deaf ears, and her mother-in-law became angry and insulting. The woman’s husband, instead of supporting his wife, sided with his mother, asking his wife to be more understanding and patient.
Determined to prove to her husband that his mother was indeed abusive, the woman secretly recorded her mother-in-law’s behavior and showed it to her husband. The evidence finally opened her husband’s eyes, and he set ground rules for his mother’s behavior.
