A woman recently went through a tough time with her mother-in-law that made her feel worn out. This is her story.
Every. Single. Morning. At exactly 7 AM, my MIL calls me. No matter what.
I’ve tried polite conversations. She always responds with, “I’ll try to remember.”
Yesterday, after another sleepless week, I finally had enough and really pushed her about why she couldn’t stop. Her response shocked me, “I call because I want to make sure you’re still breathing.”
I was confused and asked why she’d think something was wrong. She paused for a moment, then told me that my husband had once confessed to her that I talk in my sleep-apparently mumbling things about never waking up again. She’d become terrified that one day I actually wouldn’t.
Turns out, she wasn’t trying to annoy me. She was trying to make sure I was alive.
Now I’m stuck trying to figure out whether I should be mad… or deeply touched.
