In-law relationships can be naturally complicated due to several factors
Mother-in-law jokes exist because these relationships can be innately complex. It’s typically a sink-or-swim situation, and there are several reasons for this.
“Some research suggests that older women are more likely to experience neglect due to poor relationships with their daughters-in-law,” Dr. Fugère wrote inan articlefor Psychology Today.
Conflicts with in-laws are also more challenging because of the lack of shared beliefs and mutual understanding. In an interview withthe BBC, author and social work professorDr. Gretchen Perrypoints out that there is “less of an overlap in common agreement” with the spouse’s family.
It’s unlike dealing with friction among family members, where there is a greater likelihood of eventually finding common ground.
Dr. Fugère urges couples to support each other incontentious relationships. This advice is especially relevant to this story, where the mother-in-law’s inexcusable thieving behavior has ruined the family dynamic.
The woman and her wife stood united inrefusing to condonethe MIL’s actions, which was the right thing to do.
