She Wants To Go No Contact With Her In-Laws Because They Are Constantly Blaming Her For Everything From Her Husband’s Mental Health Struggles To Being An “Awful Mother”
This 27-year-old woman’s in-laws are, as she describes, pretty strange people.
She’s married to her husband, 32, and his mother, Tina, has never gotten along with her.
When her then-boyfriend first introduced her to his parents at their house for dinner, Tina and her husband, Aris, refused to talk to her or get to know her while they waited for the food to be done cooking.
Once the food was ready, her husband’s parents didn’t serve her a plate of food.
Later on, she learned that his mother adored his ex-girlfriend, so she was upset with him for ending the relationship and dating someone new.
Three years into their relationship, her husband suddenly started experiencing recurring panic attacks when he never had before.
“He didn’t know why. After a while, I suggested he go to a therapist. His mother kicked me out. She said that her son is not crazy, and the real reason for the panic attacks is that we don’t go out for dates as much as we should,” she said.
Her husband took her advice and started going to therapy to get to the bottom of where his panic attacks were stemming from.
Several months later, he and his therapist came to the realization that his anxiety and panic attacks were due to trauma from when he was a child because of his parents and how they treated him.

She and her husband have been married for three years and have been together for eight years in total.
Six months ago, she gave birth to their first child.
Since then, her husband’s panic attacks have started up again, so he returned to see the therapist he’d met with years ago.
After doing some deep diving, he and his therapist concluded that his trauma was the source of the panic attacks once again.
She and her husband live in a different country than his parents, so they haven’t had the opportunity to meet their baby daughter yet.
Throughout the entire time she’s been in a relationship with her husband, his parents have been cruel to her.
All these years, she kept her feelings to herself and never acted out on how she felt or confronted her in-laws.
A couple of days ago that changed.
Next week, she, her husband, and their daughter are going to go visit his in-laws so that they can meet the baby.
Two days ago, his parents called to go over some information related to their upcoming trip.
While on the phone, their daughter started crying because she needed to take a nap.
“His mother said to me: ‘This is your fault for nursing her! You are starving the baby! You don’t give her food, and that’s why she cries all the time! I am saying that because I love her!'” she explained.
Despite what her mother-in-law believes, she wasn’t correct.
Every time she brings her daughter to the doctor for checkups, her daughter’s growth charts are wonderful and right on pace with where she should be, and her doctors always tell her that she’s doing a fantastic job with nursing.
She and her husband have informed his parents about all of this on multiple occasions.
“She essentially called me an awful mother, like I would starve my baby intentionally. I exploded and told them they were awful and bad people,” she shared.
Now, she’s debating on going no contact with her in-laws because of how mean they have always been and continue to be to her.
After this incident, she never wants to see her mother-in-law again.
When she asked her husband for his opinion, he told her that he understood her perspective, but he thought that she was being a bit overdramatic, reminding her that his mother always behaves that way.
