Hey everyone, it’s Candice here, and I’ve got a story that I think a lot of you might find both infuriating and somewhat cathartic. I want to talk about my mother-in-law, Darla, but let’s start from the beginning to give you the full picture.
Clark and I met in a way that felt ripped straight from a rom-com script. It was at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party. I was the girl who had just spilled her drink in a spectacular fashion, and he was the knight in shining armor with a handful of napkins.

From that moment, our connection was undeniable, and our relationship blossomed beautifully. Clark proposed two years later, in a quiet, intimate setting that was so us. It was perfect, or so I thought until the dynamics of family ties introduced me to a new kind of challenge: my future mother-in-law, Darla.
