She knew that her mother-in-law had an infatuation with her dating her brother-in-law back in high school, a fact that was nothing more than a delusion. But having married the older son, she realizes that this infatuation has actually gone nowhere and still remains very much at the forefront of her mother-in-law’s agenda. But how far is she willing to go?
A Friend’s Crush
She went to school with her now husband and his brother, her now brother-in-law. She later found that her brother-in-law had a big crush on her back at school!
Unreciprocated Feelings
Sadly, he harbored feelings that were unreciprocated. In fact, she started dating his older brother, which made for a complicated love triangle. She had no idea about the crush and would never have intended to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Misguided Beliefs
Her brother-in-law held onto misguided beliefs and unfounded stories. His version of events painted a vastly different picture of the past! He told his mother that they’d dated, shared intimate moments, and were completely in love! They were all delusions, sadly!
Ongoing Discomfort
Her mother-in-law accused her of a lot of things when she started dating her now husband and eventually had to step back because of how many people backed her version of events up.
No Filter
It was even weirder than that, however! Her mother-in-law always made inappropriate jokes about how their children would look – meaning her and her brother-in-law! She’d say it openly, in front of guests and other family members!
Showing Favoritism
It was as though she wanted her to be with her other son and not her current husband. But what sort of mother would do that? She was effectively disregarding one son in favor of another and in front of people!
Bizarre Request
On one occasion, she had even asked her husband (her son) if he’d be open to sharing her with her brother-in-law! It was one of those awkward moments when you’re not sure if it’s a joke or not. It wasn’t a joke! Her mother-in-law tried to laugh it off, and so did her husband, but she knew exactly what she was up to.
Family Gathering
Whenever it came to family gatherings such as dinners, walks, or playdates with the kids, her brother-in-law always seemed hell-bent on making them feel uncomfortable. Little cutting remarks and digs here and there, especially to his brother. It was easier not to see him that much as things could get quite heated.
Supervised Playdate
Her mother-in-law, on the other hand, was an ever-present figure in the family, overseeing playtime with the children, but during a recent visit, her brother-in-law was also present, leading to an uneasy atmosphere.
Kids Talk
While the kids were playing, something bizarre happened. Her husband had stepped out for a smoke, leaving her to supervise. Her mother-in-law was playing with them. Her one young son was old enough to call her brother-in-law ‘Uncle,’ though her youngest was still going through her first words.
A Shock Find
She got up for a few moments to leave the teacups in the kitchen and returned back to see her mother-in-law holding her youngest child up to her brother-in-law, saying, ‘ Say Hi to daddy!” He was playing along and making faces at her!
Swift Exit
The only reaction she had was to grab the kids and leave while they protested. She explained why they were rushing out to her husband in the car, and he was really upset.
A Stark Lie
He called his mother-in-law to find out what the hell she was up to, and she got very defensive about her not hearing correctly! Her ears were just fine! Her husband then lied and said he’d heard it as well, and she stuttered that she was just letting the children know the truth. The truth?!
Bigger Lies
She then spurted: “You know their daddy is ‘brother-in-law.’ You’re just being stupid by not realizing she was cheating on you. You’ve been taken in by her charms!”
Time Out
After the event, they both decided to put them on a ‘time out,‘ and her mother-in-law wasn’t happy that her twice-monthly grandma visits were canceled for the next four months.
For The Record
Just in case anyone is wondering the obvious, NO, she didn’t date her brother-in-law at any point, and she certainly didn’t share any intimate moments with him! For the children to be his would be nothing short of a miracle.
Strange Delusions
The fact that her brother-in-law had taken his delusions to a whole new extent was concerning. It had been one thing at high school to make stories up, as many teenagers do for bravado, but as an adult, to be continuing the lie, that’s not right!
Bad Behavior
Equally, even if this had been the truth, for her mother-in-law to take such a stance and encourage her granddaughter to call her son ‘daddy’ was just as perturbing, if not worse! As a mother, she should know better than that!
No Exposure
More recently, she and her husband have concluded that her mother-in-law’s behavior is beyond disturbing. They are reconsidering exposing their children to these people at all. Kids grow up just fine with just one set of grandparents, and they really do not need her in their lives that desperately!
