I decided to get married three years ago. Since my husband is often away on business trips, we rarely see each other. Despite the long distance relationship we love each other very much and never quarrel.
My mother and mother-in-law helped me in every way, because they knew that the child was completely on my shoulders. They were sure I couldn’t do it on my own. Although I did not agree with them. If my mother came rarely and told me off only on the phone, my mother-in-law sat in our house every day.
I didn’t like my in-laws being in charge of my territory. She could rearrange the dishes in the kitchen, go through the fridge, and revise the cabinets. But I put up with it and kept quiet. When my daughter turned two, I decided to go back to work. My mother-in-law gladly agreed to babysit my granddaughter, so this decision was a win-win for everyone.
However, I noticed that my daughter was different. While she used to laugh, frolic, and play, she soon became quiet, withdrawn, and overly obedient.
My mother-in-law put it all down to the fact that Marisha lacked a mother. I tried to give my daughter every free minute, but I still noticed her restlessness. We spent every weekend together, too. But the former fire in his daughter’s eyes, I did not notice.
One day my daughter told me that her grandmother was “like Madi. This character from the famous cartoon was very shouty and always unhappy. That’s when I realized that my mother-in-law was cursing at my daughter.
To begin with, I wanted to check everything to make sure my accusations were valid. I got off work and came home earlier than usual. Already in the stairwell I heard a wild yell. I ran into the apartment and asked my mother-in-law to leave our apartment. She pressed her lip and called me ungrateful, but I didn’t care-I wasn’t going to let anyone hurt my child.
