I was not present at the celebration of the 80th anniversary of my mother-in-law, but my husband went. For 25 years, I tried to be a good daughter -in -law, but I never received any love or gratitude from her. Despite the fact that I gave birth to three children, I kept the house clean and had a good reputation among all acquaintances, my efforts were not appreciated.

Even when I looked after my mother -in -law, when he was ill, my mother -in -law never showed thanks. Moreover, after her mother -in -law, she became even worse and began to respond negatively about me and my children. I tried to be good, but one case broke everything finally. Four years ago, when my father died, my mother -in -law refused to help us with the car to go to his funeral. Since then, I stopped communicating with her, and my children did the same.

I did not forbid them to see my grandmother, but they decided not to do so. My husband and I still communicate with her, but we have a relationship. She complains that I do not call her, and my children do not visit her. However, I am sorry for my husband who should listen to her complaints. I do not tell him about her badly because it is his mother. Although I myself became my mother -in -law, I am not about my daughter -in -law as my mother -in -law treated me. My husband thinks that I have to reconcile with her, but I can’t change her.
