Evil Lady Has Her Claws In Son And Mistreats DIL, They Go No-Contact After A Bad Hospital Incident

Just a few months back, one of my high school friends married her long-term boyfriend. While she was overjoyed at their union, she dreaded the fact that her mother-in-law was going to live with them. While she might be a nice lady, my friend finds her pushy at times. 

It’s hard to find good ones, but this woman’s mother-in-law was an absolute nightmare, who always disrespected her. When her daughter-in-law went into labor, she broke the one rule that the couple had laid out. Scroll down to find out how they permanently dealt with her!

When she still showed up, her son asked her to leave, so she started badmouthing the couple and also made the poster cry, which forced them to go no-contact with her

Today’s story is quite traumatising as our original poster (OP) tells us about her extremely evil mother-in-law. Well, the woman never really liked our lady from the start and always had this air that she was snatching her son away from her. The poor poster tried everything to form a good bond with her, but to no avail, as she was never open to accepting her.

In fact, every chance the woman got, she grabbed it and spread her negative vibes and her icy behavior. Whether it be their engagement or marriage, she used every opportunity to insult the poster and even spoke ill of her behind her back. The frustrated couple even went to therapy to try and figure out how to deal with her, but nothing seemed to work.

Throughout this whole time, OP’s husband was her rock, as he defended her every time and always stood up to his mom. Now, fast forward to when the couple got pregnant, and the woman was delighted that she was going to be a grandma. However, the poster and her husband made it very clear that they didn’t want anyone in the hospital during delivery.

As expected, the woman thoughtlessly broke this rule, but her son sent her home. She started badmouthing them after that and went psycho on OP when confronted. That was the final straw as the postpartum poster had a teary meltdown. The couple finally went no-contact with the toxic woman and refused to budge even after his family asked them to mend fences.

According to a study, 60% of women admitted that the relationship with their female in-law caused them long-term unhappiness and stress. Moreover, two-thirds of daughters-in-law believed that their husband’s mother frequently exhibited jealous, maternal love towards their son. This can clearly be seen in this story as the jealous woman literally tortured OP with her behavior.

Research also emphasizes, “Toxic mothers-in-law can have a powerful impact on relationships, using subtle control and manipulation tactics. These behaviors can create tension and lead to issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, and even depression.” The fact that the couple had to go to therapy just to understand how to deal with her shows exactly how much it was affecting them.

While the poster clarified that her husband had backed her against his mother every time, netizens weren’t satisfied with it. After all, it was only after his postpartum wife had a meltdown that he decided to go no-contact. He should have done it long before when his mom wouldn’t stop insulting his wife. The fact that she had to go through this drama just after delivery sounds awful.

Experts stress that during the postpartum period, a woman’s body goes through many physical and emotional changes. They further elaborate that it can take almost 18 months for a woman to go back to feeling like her old self. It’s horrible that it took so much of his wife’s suffering for him to realize that he should put a stop to his mother’s disrespectful behavior.
