Reflections of A Daughter-Inlaw


After so many years of enduring this abuse, I have come to realize why dealing with monster in-laws is traumatic and sometimes hopeless especially in African societies.

  1. Your husband is usually the one you can off load on when someone upsets you but in this case you cant because telling him his mother is a mean spirited person that will go to any length literally places you at persona-non-grata (' an unwelcome person')
  2. Flowing from 1 above, should you go ahead and really tell him how you feel, that marriage is marred and may even come to an end. The ultimate monster in-law objective.
  3.  All you will hear from your husband is I will handle it, she is my mother I can't throw her away. I am in the middle!! You guys are putting me in the middle!!! You then feel blackmailed and further frustrated.
  4. You can hardly tell anyone without making your husband look like a wimp and lose his self respect because of the emotional quagmire he is cut up in.
  5. Call in your parents and siblings, then is an all out war with no future ending. The Ultimate family gatherings nightmares.


It looks like a circle of no solutions until you snap. Then you look as mad as the monster in-laws. Hahahhahahhahahahahahaha 😅😂😄😄😅😅😂😂😂
