My mother-in-law came to live with us for a while because she decided to renovate. Since then, our life has been a living hell. My husband dances to her tune and tries to bend me over… But that’s not the main thing! She’s trying to evict my son.
I started building a relationship with Jack after the divorce. He knew I had a son. He wasn’t embarrassed by that, so after a few months we got married and started living together. My mother-in-law ignored me and my child in every way. She didn’t even come to the wedding for that reason. In the two years we were married, she visited us at most twice. Usually she slept over at a friend’s house, but this time she decided to stay with us.
Even now she has not lost the opportunity to prove to her son that I am not his equal and need a divorce. I tolerate and silent, because I do not want to provoke conflict. My husband used to suppress all her sermons, but lately he is increasingly listening to her opinion.
Now I do not even want to come home from work. My mother-in-law thinks she is the boss. She does what she wants. For example, this morning she took the bathroom for an hour and a half, even though she knew that I had to get my son ready for kindergarten. My baby does not leave the room at all – he is afraid of “Grandma. She picks on him with or without cause. My husband can’t even say a word to her.
My relative insists that I have to have Jack’s baby. If I am against it, I should look for another wife. She thinks that I’m hanging my “trailer” on her son and having a feast. But I work, and my salary is no less than her husband’s.
Last night at dinner, Jack’s mother said that I should send my son to his grandmother’s house because he was bothering her. I strongly object. How can I leave my own child? The only thing I understand is that my son is nervous in the presence of his mother-in-law, so separating him from her for a while, maybe it would be helpful.
What do you think? What if my mother-in-law then starts demanding that I leave the child with my parents forever? I don’t want to go along with her.
