I am incredibly proud of my daughter and believe she is an extraordinary person. I raised her on my own after her father left us when she was just a baby. It was a tough time, with no one to turn to for help. The only solace I had was the small house I inherited from my late mother.

I logged onto all my social media accounts and realized every profile picture was of her son. I thought she had become obsessed with him. Emily had just given birth to her first child.
I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend, but my mother-in-law had other plans. She decided it was the perfect time for a deep clean of our house. At least she gave me a heads-up, so I could brace myself for the chaos.
A straightforward conversation between two young adults leads to an exchange of phone numbers. Even then, I noted that he didn’t seem like your typical city guy.
My relationship with my mother-in-law has always been a bit rocky. She’s a good person overall—honest, kind, and generous. I even dare to say she likes me.
