Let’s hope that the author of the post and her in-laws will find a way to patch things up because fights like this one can take a serious toll on them.

Terri Apter, a psychologist and senior tutor at Newnham College, Cambridge University, who conducted more than two decades of research in the field, found that 60% of women admitted the relationship with their female in-law caused them long-term unhappiness and stress.

Apter discovered that two-thirds of daughters-in-law believed that their husband’s mother frequently exhibited jealous, maternal love towards their son.

In fact, 75% percent of couples reported having problems with an in-law. Many young adults found that in-law conflict increased after the birth of their first child, with the shared interest of a grandchild providing fresh reasons for grandparents to “influence and interfere in the lives of other family members.”

So if the Redditor and her relatives won’t settle their differences, the tension might keep rising in the future as well.
