Cinderella (My Edition)

Monster-in-law

By Aurelia LainePublished 4 years ago 2 min read

Welcome to my version of Cinderella. Now Let's rewind to 10 years ago when I met my (now Husband). Everything was great we were so incredibly happy. Honeymoon phase and all. Right ladies? I think we've all been there. Just getting to know each other. Meeting both families. Etc. Fast forward to today. Now married, Three kids and First-time homeowners. Still great and wonderful. Except his family. I'm sure everyone has had or experienced an evil mother-in-law. But mine tops the scales. Past nine years has been a lie. Fake. Narcissistic. manipulative. You name it. All along they (mother-in-law, sisters-in-law) have not liked me and have and continued to blame me for my husband's behavior and the way he views everything. Like he's not his own self with his own mind and beliefs on things, right? Anyways, the most recent thing to tear this family apart shred by shred is piece by piece is us buying our first home. I know, crazy right? Family is supposed to be the opposite and be happy and share all of those new feelings and accomplishments. Not them. They got mad. Jealous, angry for some reason. From there, last year it went downhill and his been a downhill roller-coaster from then on. We had our third and last child a few months after that. Evil family-in-law (all of them) made excuses as to why they didn't come to the Baby Sprinkle. Never asked how the baby or me was doing the entire pregnancy. Nothing. Now comes baby being fully baked and were in labor. Baby arrives, still nothing. Husband sent pictures with info and update and what do you know? Nothing. Silence. No congratulations or anything. Lovely, aren't they? 15 months later (that's currently how old our child is now). First Birthday came and passed. As well as all of the first a baby has. Ya know, Holding their head up, holding their bottle for the first time, first Holidays. First time crawling. First word. First reach. First steps. First everything okay. Missed it all. ALL. Still to this very day has not met this third child and they all live less then 20 minutes away. Well yesterday, One of those sisters-in-law had her first child. What do you know? were wrong, More or less my Husband is wrong for not calling or congratulating her and her Husband on this new baby. Is he wrong? I had no say in it. I kept my mouth shut like I always do. But even with that I'm still somehow at fault for this. Let me know what you think? your thoughts and opinions on this story as someone from the outside who has no knowledge of either side. Like this. Dirrect message me lets discuss it!
