Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you get married, you don't just marry the person in front of you, but you're married into their whole family, for the good or the bad. It's never easy to be ensconced in someone else's life; being immersed with their mothers, fathers, and other members of the family can strain the relationship. As long as everyone keeps an even keel, things should be fine, but this is easier said than done. 

In this Reddit thread, the woman has a difficult relationship with her mother-in-law. Through hurtful accusations, disrespect, and body shaming, this woman has just about had enough of this MIL' treatment. The story ends with her cutting contact, and saying that the MIL will never get to meet her baby. Read the full story to see whose side you're on. At least her husband's on her side.

    michuru809 1y ago NTA Wow, your MIL is a piece of work. You and your husband are married, it's a serious flaw on your husband's part that MIL is still in the picture. You can't choose your family, but it was a choice to

    marry you and there's a whole legal contract there which makes it a big deal: spouse comes first. I would never see that woman again, and it's perfectly reasonable to protect your child from her also.

    If your husband isn't 100% on your side, then he's choosing his mother. Better you find out now. If he doesn't have your back on this, he's not a good partner for you- don't expect him to respect your other boundaries either. He would likely take the kids to visit

    mogley19922 • 1y ago This can't be true. This went from I'll talk to her to a restraining order in three hours? I get that OP didn't say that they have a restraining order, but i don't know anywhere that you can

    get a restraining order for being a rude insufferable 1. Sorry if this is true OP, it really just doesn't read like it is at all.
