Mother-in-Law Tries to Break My Marriage

25 July, 2023
Q I married my husband 6 years ago; we have 3 kids two are mine from a previous relationship and he has 1. We are staying with his mom and since I moved in, she's been nasty to my kids and I. She lies to people and says I don't help in the house and she bans my kids and I from sections in the house. Her nastiness has increased since my father-in-law passed on and she tells people she wants her son to herself. She has already broken 2 previous marriages of my husband but now she acts like his x wife's best friend to make me jealous. She told my husband he must divorce me so they can live together. She's rude and has made my kids and I very depressed.

Living in a toxic environment must be very frustrating. If you have to deal with your mothers-in-law enmity on a daily basis is very trying.

Her attempts to break up any relationship between his son and you is not right nor a healthy behavior.

You may go out for a walk or dinner and talk to your husband and about how he sees her. Reassure him about your love and your good faith in this marriage.

But things should change at home, as you, the wife also deserves kindness and honor. Respecting parents does not mean letting them abuse you.

How can you deal with a difficult relationship like this? Check out the audio here.
