A newlywed, Theresa (25), brought a cherished recipe from her late mother to her in-laws’ dinner, only to have her mother-in-law angrily demand, “Get your mother’s food out of my house!” Humiliated, Theresa left in tears and waited in the car. Later, her husband (28) showed no concern for her absence or feelings, instead laughing about a joke from dinner.
Theresa, still grieving her mom’s loss a year before her wedding, is hurt by her MIL’s hostility and her husband’s indifference. Without support or an apology, she feels disrespected and struggles to move forward.
