My wife’s mother treats me like I’m her slave – My husband didn’t believe me until I recorded her in secret.
Unfortunately, her words were not met well. The OP’s mother-in-law got angry and started insulting her, calling the pregnant woman disrespectful to her elders. The in-law also claimed that she was “disgusted” that her son married such a woman.
Siding with His Mother Instead of His Wife
Amidst all that has happened, the OP’s husband still sided with his mother. He sympathized with her story after she called him to rant about his wife’s actions. The husband talked to his wife and asked her to be more understanding of his grieving mother. He also didn’t think she was putting much effort into their relationship as mother and daughter-in-law.
“I brought this to my husband’s attention enough times and all he did was downplay his mom’s action,” the woman said. Now, the OP wonders if she was wrong to tell her husband’s mother off.
After seeing her husband side with his mother, the woman brought him proof. The OP chose to record her mother-in-law as the mean person she is and showed her husband. He finally took action and set ground rules for his mother. However, he did not have the heart to kick his mother out of the house.
