When some people talk about their mothers-in-law, they only use nice words and facial expressions to show gratitude. But some people call their MILs “monster-in-law,” and there’s a good reason for that. Our heroine today is a 33-year-old woman who used to have high hopes for her relationship with her husband’s mom. This happened to her. But her hopes were dashed when she went to dinner with her MIL.

At first, things went well between them.

Ann, who is 33 years old, wrote a letter and said something right at the start of it. The woman wrote, “My husband says I’m overreacting, but I’m afraid of my mother-in-law.” I’d like to know if other people would feel the same way about my situation.

“My husband Geff and I have been married for three years,” the woman wrote. Both of us have been married before. I am no longer married and have a 5-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. Geff also has a divorce.
My husband knows everything there is to know about my ex-husband and the reason I broke up with him, but I don’t know much about his earlier relationship. I have never told him he had to tell me everything in great detail, though. I now know why he has never talked about this before: his ex-wife left him because of his mother. But let me begin by telling you my story.

Anna wrote, “My husband’s mother is 55 years old and her only child is Geff.” Things have gone really well between us since the beginning. When I met her for the first time, I didn’t get the impression that she was rejecting me because she was nice, friendly, and smiled the whole way to me. I thought this was the start of a nice, friendly relationship with her. And I see now how wrong I was to think that,”

Ana’s pregnancy was the first sign that something was wrong.

Sophia has always been a loving mother to Geff, Anna says next in her story. When we went to see her, she showed me pictures of how he was as a child a million times and told me stories about Geff’s childhood that I already knew by heart. I didn’t talk over her, though, and hearing the same stories over and over again never bothered me. I thought Geff was lucky to have a mom who loved her so much. I didn’t see anything wrong with their relationship.

Stella’s behavior, on the other hand, quickly began to bother Anna. “I’m now 5 months pregnant,” she said. Stella was so happy when we told her we were expecting that she kept telling everyone how much she loved her grandson. Yes, she insisted that the baby was a boy. Geff and I didn’t really care about the gender; in fact, we asked our doctors not to tell us because we wanted it to be a surprise for both of us.

The woman who was going to be a grandmother wanted a boy and even wanted to name him after her own son. Stella was adamant about two things, Anna wrote. She told us that the baby had to be a boy (as if we could change her mind) and had to be named Geff. She wouldn’t accept any other name. This was a red flag for me that she was too interested in and possessive of our unborn child, but I didn’t make a scene and kept it to myself.

After a family dinner, things were getting tense between them.

Anna told the truth, “My mother-in-law and I went to dinner one day.” Geff and my husband’s dad went to a concert together. Also, I should say that my MIL and FIL came from out of state to stay with us for a few days. Stella has always been very emotional, and she doesn’t hold back when she wants to show Geff how much she loves her. She probably wanted our unborn child to feel the same way, which is why she wanted him to be a boy and name him Geff.

Something went wrong with the dinner. The woman said, “Well, after three cups of herbal tea at dinner, my mother-in-law looked at me and said, ‘If you ever break my son’s heart, I will do something to you that you will remember for the rest of your life.'” I really mean it. Geff’s dad will too. “We already know how to handle women who hurt our son.”

After three years together, Anna wrote, “I was shocked that she said that. I know how strong our relationship is because she told me in another conversation, ‘I couldn’t have asked for a better wife for my son.'” You two are so lucky to have found each other.

Anna knew lots of things about both her husband and her in-laws.

Anna wrote, “Unfortunately, I was so shocked that I didn’t respond the way I wanted to. I just rambled on about not having to worry.” I told Geff about this later, and to my surprise, he wasn’t shocked or horrified. Stella said it in a way that made me really doubt her, and it did sound like a threat. But my husband was calm about everything. He told me to take it easy and think about our baby first.

Anna admitted, “Now I know that Geff’s relationship with his ex-girlfriend was wrong, something my MIL did.” Geff’s ex-wife may have been just as scared as I am now that she got in the way of their relationship in the same way. Anyway, I want my MIL to be less of a part of our lives. I’m even thinking about not letting her see our baby. I have a strong feeling that she might hurt me and the baby. Feel like I’m going too far?”
