I always avoided my mother-in-law. She did not love me at first sight. I do not have a higher education, I am not from the royal family, and I did not have the appearance of a photo model. By the way, my husband is also not of blue blood. And he received a university diploma only for his mother. It is somewhere at her home. My husband does not work by profession. After marriage, my husband and I lived in rented apartments. My mother-in-law visited us once a week. One such visit was enough for me to run away from home at the slightest danger of my mother-in-law’s visit.
When our son was born, there was no possibility to escape. I had to silently endure the abuse from my mother-in-law for any reason and without. Why silently? I was afraid of her. My husband and I used to visit my great-aunt on the coast every summer. She is the only one of my relatives who really loved me. A year ago my grandmother passed away and I inherited her two-room apartment. My husband and I decided to move there to live. My mother-in-law literally cursed me for taking my son away from her. But why should we wander around strange corners if we have an apartment in such a wonderful place?
My mother-in-law had the idea to demand that I sell the apartment by the sea and buy one next to it. Swap the sea for the mother-in-law. Do I look like a fool? My mother-in-law found a solution. She got some certificates, saying she was sick and needed sea air. Now she pleads for pity and asks to live with us. I am categorically against it. My husband also understands that with his mother our life will turn into hell. Then we decided that my mother-in-law will sell her apartment, and my husband will rent a one-room apartment in our city. My mother will contribute her money as a down payment, my son will pay the mortgage. I think I will be able to put her in her place when she tries to command in my house.
