Hello, My husband, who\u2019s 29, and I, 41, got married just a year ago. From the beginning, my mother-in-law disapproved of our marriage. I always thought it was because of our age difference and her belief that I couldn\u2019t give her the grandchildren she dreamed of. Now that I\u2019m pregnant, I expected her to be happy, but things have only gotten worse. Instead of celebrating, her attitude has become even more bitter. She constantly crosses boundaries, bombarding me with unwanted advice and making hurtful comments aimed at undermining me. It feels like she\u2019s doing everything she can to make this joyous time difficult for me.<\/p>\n
At a large family dinner recently, she made a humiliating comment about my changing body. In front of everyone, she looked at me with disdain and said, \u201cLooks like you\u2019re putting on weight quicker than expected.\u201d Her cruel words cut deeply, leaving me feeling devastated, as if my pregnancy was merely something for her to mock. I\u2019m worried that her bitterness will only intensify as my pregnancy progresses. I feel unprepared to handle this, and any advice on how to deal with the situation would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n
Sincerely, Cassie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
