How many of you here don’t feel warm at you in law place? With husband not supportive and mil who are always complaining to husband and love to twist her words and acting pitiful infront of people? What would you do?
Totally understand how you feel. My situation is different but had a few run-ins with my in-laws. Some things that helped me to navigate these situations and regulate my emotions are as follows: 1. While I may not like their actions and words, they are still my husband's family. So I will do my best to be kind. 2. Always look for win-win situations, and try to understand what their true meaning is when they do something. Most of the time I realise it is out of fear of losing my husband or they miss him but cannot communicate it. So do not take things personally. 3. When I am not in the right head space to deal with them, I will ask my husband to allow me to skip on the family meals and go back to my parents. 4. Modus Operandi: Maintain a cordial and harmonious relationship always. Jiayou! Hope it helps. I realised my situation was not unique when I shared it with a taxi driver who wisely said, "you think you special ah?! Which daughter in law got such good relationships?! Only 1 in 10!" Hope it brings some comfort to know you are not alone in facing such a situation!
