Not my Mother in Law
They say mothers are the first one to love us even before we're born. Mothers are supposed to stand by us through our worst behavior. They are supposed to be the first oerson to be happy for us, like my mom and just like me to my son. Mothers are supposed to be afraid for us if we're being reckless, not laugh at us when we are hurt. But, not my mother in law. She loves showing up for other people, showering them with nice words and compliments, posting on social media how kind her pamankins are who treated her like a mother, her pamankins who spreads rumors about her son and even that nephew who shoved my husband in deep water when they were young out of envy, the same nephew that's making so many issues about us.. na nagbasag n naman sa backyard nmin the other night.. she loves and shows gratitude to everyone, but not to my husband. Greeting them and congratulating them on life events and wins openly but when it comes to my husband she would only message him on FB. So i make it a point to make sure my husband doesn't feel less loved. Even my parents knew his situation and show him he's loved and never incomplete. He has been estranged from his mother since he was young and his mother's eldest sister took care of him as her own, but she already passed away, that's why he doesn't mind the current situation as much, but he still gets pissed off when he sees her posts on social media about other people and that's normal. I tried to make them close before, but i gave up seeing no effort from her, it just made my husband and my son seem pitiful. So right now, i let him be. i support him If he wanted to vent out about his biological mother as he calls her. Or if he wanted to laugh about their situation and call her mother NANAY MO.. saying my parents are his and his mother is his MIL.. My MIL's sisters are making amends with my husband saying sila na daw mother ni husband at huwag na ang kapatid nila, seeing their sister's behavior towards my husband. I know in God's perfect time they will be okay and my MIL will see what she's missing being too busy with other people, neglecting her own son.
