A woman was horrified when her mother-in-law returned to her house a few days after Christmas and took back all the toys and clothes she had bought for her grandchildren. Now, they don’t talk at all.
A Reddit user took to the platform to share her story about how her then-mother-in-law had once ruined Christmas for her children. The woman began her story by explaining that her ex-mother-in-law was unstable.
When the woman began dating her partner, she began learning everything his mother did and how unstable she indeed was. However, she didn’t know how significantly it would affect her children.

The woman shared that as she was dating her partner, she found that his mother was addicted to pain pills and anti-depressants and that she had bipolar disorder. The woman also found out that her mother-in-law would sue people for injuries she suffered at their homes or places of business.
Three years after the woman began dating her partner, she became pregnant with their son. Until their son was born, the woman’s mother-in-law hadn’t been involved in their lives other than visiting them on holidays.
