A couple of weeks ago, her husband’s parents called her to demand that she return all of the wedding jewelry she got as presents for her special day. Apparently, her husband’s mom believes this jewelry is rightfully hers, even though none of the pieces are family heirlooms or anything of the sort.
All of the jewelry gifted to her at her wedding were gifts from their wedding guests. His parents are also insisting that the house she lives in is not hers since her husband was the one who paid for the downpayment. That’s not true, though, as her mom and dad gave them the majority of the money for the downpayment.
“They also think that their son funded everything and our entire lifestyle, which is another lie as we had built our life with money that was made by both of us, not just him,” she said.
“In my perspective, I was married to their son, we both worked and built a life together – and any gifts given to me during my wedding or things purchased between money that their son and I made are NOT theirs.”
“His mother has been harassing and calling my family, and it has been nonstop comments to the point where she questioned my upbringing that my deceased mother gave me. All my family members think they are disgusting to do this to their son’s widow, but it also gets awkward as we are trying to be mindful that they lost their son.”
What’s even more insulting is that she recently lost her mom, yet her husband’s parents never sent their condolences or showed up for the funeral.
She does feel for her husband’s parents since they lost a son, and she believes they are still grieving him, but she’s confused as to why they’re doing this to her.
What advice do you have for her?
