My Mother-in-law’s “Lazy” Label Almost Broke Me—But I Had a Plan

The Weight of Her Demands

She said she was here for me, that I could lean on her while I grieved. But it wasn’t long before her actions began telling me a very different story. Instead of comfort, she handed me a laundry basket. At first, it was small—”Could you wash these? I forgot.” Then, it became constant. She’d demand I do things—clean, cook, errands—like I wasn’t her daughter-in-law but her maid.

I was too broken to fight back, too exhausted to resist. It felt like every ounce of me was being drained, and all I could do was obey. There was no room for my grief, only her endless requests.
