The user's MIL seems like she's always gotten her way using manipulation and fear mongering when it came to her son. It makes sense that she has always gotten her way—kids don't realize their parents' ways until they're in too deep.
However, the user refuses to let this slide. An older woman throwing tantrums and mean comments at not only her child but her child's wife is absurd, especially when they haven't done anything to target her or something that warranted those types of responses. I feel for the user's husband. You hope that one day, your parent will see the error of their ways and realize they have not done right by you. But, this story proves that not everyone comes to their “Eureka!” moment.
Woman prioritizes daughter's future happiness and cuts off her MIL, stands firm in her choice to keep her family together: ‘I no longer care’
Mothers-in-law could be like your second mom (emotionally, they're already, legally). You hope that your partner's mother adores you not only because you make their child happy, but because they actually like you as a person. For whatever reason, many mothers-in-law treat their child's spouse with disdain. Now, we're not saying respect isn't a two-way street—it is.
But what do you do if you try your hardest to be the polite daughter-in-law and they come back at you with ill manners? It's not a good feeling. You're left wondering what you could've done to prevent this harsh treatment, but after a certain amount of time, you realize that you are definitely not the problem. Some people are simply sour Sally's and you don't have to go out of your way to be nice to people who can't do the same—even if they're now you're legal family.
The woman who posted this story decided to cut her mother-in-law off after throwing temper tantrums for years and taking it out on both the woman and her husband. This has, as a result, strained she and her husband's relationship. The woman decides to cut her MIL off because she doesn't want her child growing up around such uncertain, mean situations. Now, her husband is caught in between the two, and the woman remains firm in her decision to prioritize her daughter's happiness in the present and in the future.
