A woman found herself in a whirlwind of emotions—shock, rage, and profound hurt—when her mother-in-law made a callous comment about her weeks-old son. In response, she and her husband decided to ban the MIL from their Thanksgiving dinner. However, the situation took an unexpected turn when her husband had a change of heart after receiving a text one day, leaving the woman utterly dismayed.

On October 30, 2023, an anonymous female contributor shared her story in the “Mother in Laws from Hell” subreddit.

The woman painted a vivid picture of her challenging relationship with her mother-in-law, 63, who seemed to have an ongoing problem respecting boundaries and appropriateness.

The MIL’s behavior had created significant issues in the past, including causing her other son and daughter-in-law to cut ties with her.

Their relationship reached a breaking point when the MIL insisted on a family member’s invitation to her other son’s wedding, resulting in her being uninvited.
