Two years have passed since I got married, and from the very beginning, my mother-in-law never accepted me. She believes her son deserves someone better and does everything to break us apart.
At first, I tried ignoring her remarks, but over time, her criticism grew more frequent and hurtful. No matter what I did, it was never good enough for her.
My husband knew what was happening but kept saying it would passthat his mother would eventually accept me and that deep down, she was a good person.
One morning, she walked into my room and dumped a bucket of cold water on me, shouting, *”Get up, lazybones!”* I woke up in shock, drenched and bewildered.
When I asked why she did it, she snapped, *”No one sleeps till noon in my house! Everyone wakes up early!”*
I checked the clock6:30 AM, *Sunday.* Shaking with anger, I replied, *”I deserve rest! It’s my only day off.”*
She wasnt even trying to understand. With a cold stare, she said, *”What rights? Under my roof, you follow my rules!”*
That was the last straw. She crossed every line, and I knew it was time to act…
Im sharing this story and want your thoughts. Did she have the right to treat me this way?
The rest is in the article linked in the first comment.
When I told my husband everything, I was at my breaking point but determined. I explained how humiliating his mothers behavior was and how it made me feel.
I said I couldnt endure it anymore, especially from someone who shouldve been maternal, not tyrannical.
I wasnt asking him to choose between usjust to take a stand. I needed his support and boundaries with his mother.
He stayed silent for a while, then finally met my eyes and said, *”Youre right. We come first. We should leave and live our own life.”*
We decided to move out together, away from his mothers toxicity.
