10. I Suffered Mental Health Problems Because Of Her
My mother-in-law was the absolute worst. She actually drove me to the brink of madness. At one point, I was experiencing serious mental health problems because of her. She never left us alone and took part in everything. She’d enter our bedroom without knocking when she stayed over. She’d come and interrupt our private conversations and ask that we tell her what we’d been chatting about, despite my husband and I made it very clear we didn’t want her opinion.
And worst of all, she was very cruel to our children. She didn’t like them and made sure they were aware of it. When they were younger, she’d say bad things about them and about my family to me, and it would cause us to fight a lot. Eventually, we just stopped visiting. And some 15 years later, my husband and I got divorced. His family played a big part in that.
