Entering parenthood means your priority shifts to your children. It is a big responsibility, and sometimes, help from in-laws, relatives, and family can be a lifesaver. However, help turned into an unpleasant surprise for our Bright Side reader, who encountered toxic grandparent behavior from her mother-in-law.
I’d like to have some advice about my current situation, which is stressing me out. My kids would always cry before going to my mother-in-law’s house. I thought they were just being dramatic, and my husband reassured me that it’s normal.Last Friday, I arrived two hours early to pick them up. I walked in and froze. My poor kids were standing silently in the dim hallway, facing the wall. They weren’t speaking or moving. They didn’t even turn when they heard the door open. I was shocked, my heart was beating loudly.
