Woman Hands Husband Divorce Papers, Because He Ignored His Mom’s Insults Way Too Long

In a normal, healthy, functional family, your relatives will try to create an environment in which everyone feels both respected and safe. But unfortunately, this isn’t the case in some households. Things can get pretty toxic.

One internet user shared how the dynamic in his family shifted once he and his wife were getting ready to welcome their first child into the world. The man’s mother started showing some increasingly hostile behavior toward his spouse, which led to more and more tension in their daily life. The man detailed the drama that happened in a candid online post, asking the internet to weigh in on the sensitive situation and how he (mis)handled things.

    I think the marriage was always doomed. Cycle of a***e. Father a****d mother, mother abuses son and DIL, son a****d wife, and was going to a***e his daughter. End the cycle.

    The thing that I noted from this is that the husband's reaction was immediately all about him. Nothing about supporting his wife, who had been forced to defend herself because he was too weak to stop his evil mother from abusing her. Then comes the "woe is me" and trying to fix something that was totally his fault. This was an instant of him showing who he really was - someone obsessed with himself and his feelings. He didn't even take himself out of the situation if he felt overwhelmed, but ordered his wife and child out. Narcistic s*****g.
