For the vast majority of mothers-in-law, perhaps in their hearts, the closest thing is always their daughter.
My husband and I were high school classmates, and later after graduating from college, we both decided that each other was the person we wanted to work with for the rest of our lives, although the economic conditions of my husband's family were very bad at the time, and my husband had a younger sister behind him, but I didn't think it was a hindrance to our relationship, and in the end, my husband and I tied the knot and entered the palace of marriage.
After I got married, I treated my mother-in-law as if I was my own mother, and tried my best to be filial to her.
I thought my life would go on happily ever after, but I only guessed the beginning, but I ignored the end.
Because my husband has a younger sister, since my sister-in-law got married, my mother-in-law has devoted all her thoughts to my sister-in-law.
In a sense, I didn't complain about my mother-in-law because of this, because I knew that my sister-in-law's family conditions were not good, and it was natural for my mother-in-law to help my sister-in-law, but what I never understood was that as a daughter-in-law, I didn't understand why my mother-in-law was so partial.
Once my husband and I went home, and after returning to my mother-in-law's house, it was very late, and my mother-in-law had already rested at that time, and my husband and I didn't bother her.
After a few days, the sister-in-law also went home, and the sister-in-law came back later than us, but the mother-in-law prepared a meal for the sister-in-law in advance, and waited until the sister-in-law finished dinner, and the mother-in-law did not rest.
It is precisely because of this incident that the contradiction between me and my mother-in-law has intensified, but my mother-in-law always says that I am unreasonable, and the only one who trusts me is my husband, but in the face of the contradiction between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, my husband is helpless.
Ten years passed in a blink of an eye, and after ten years, my mother-in-law was getting old and unable to live alone, and after much consideration, my husband decided to let me go back to my hometown to take care of my mother-in-law, because my sister-in-law also had her own mother-in-law to serve, and neither side could take care of everything.
At first, I originally refused, because of the years of getting along with my mother-in-law, which led to a great conflict between me and my mother-in-law, but my husband repeatedly assured that my mother-in-law would not embarrass me, and I considered that as a daughter-in-law, I also had a certain responsibility for my mother-in-law, so I agreed.
In this way, I took care of my mother-in-law for nearly five years, but I didn't expect that in the end, my mother-in-law gave her passbook to my sister-in-law.
I know that over the years, my mother-in-law has also had a lot of savings, and almost all the expenses of taking care of her in the past five years have been paid by me, but I didn't expect that my hard work would end up being distrustful of my mother-in-law.
For the mother-in-law, perhaps the most trusted in her heart is the sister-in-law, in fact, think about it carefully, this is also understandable, after all, the sister-in-law is her daughter, and it is natural to have more love, but I am also a daughter-in-law, as a mother-in-law, if I blindly favor her, it is obviously a little unreasonable.
Later, my husband also found out about it, but my husband didn't have any way, and finally I decided not to take care of my mother-in-law, and as for the final result, I didn't care anymore.
