My name is Leylah and my boyfriend, Todd, and I have been together for five amazing years. His mother, Tammy, has always called me by the name of his ex-girlfriend, Laura, even though we’ve been together for years. I’ve held my tongue because I understand how attached she is, but her 60th birthday party was the last blow.
Tammy made mistakes from time to time at first, but over time, they happened more often. Todd told her she was wrong several times, but she kept doing it. I saw that it wasn’t just a habit; it showed that she still wanted Todd and Laura to get back together.
It would have been great to talk about it at the birthday party. When Tammy called me Laura and asked me to make the birthday cake, I made up my mind to stand up for myself. “Did Laura not deliver the cake?” I asked with a bit of surprise. The room went quiet.
Tammy went from being shocked and annoyed to being angry, and Todd’s attempts to calm her down only made things worse. I kept my cool and said, “I thought Laura was in charge of the cake.” In the end, she’s the person you were most excited to see today.
There was a lot of stress, and Todd’s family was shocked. Even though we were finally told to leave, Tammy’s brother-in-law made a funny comment first.
Todd was quiet and upset as we drove home. I wasn’t sure if I had gone too far and hurt our connection. But now that I think about it, I think I did what was right.
Was what I did wrong?
Should I have kept ignoring Tammy’s mistakes, or was it time to deal with them? Say what you think.
A dramatic turn: a story of love and victory
Imagine having to deal with a mother-in-law who hates you just because you’re not rich. Our heroine went through a nightmare where her in-laws made up fake online identities to spread hurtful lies and even tried to pay her to leave their son.
They faked a heart attack and paid bad guys to ruin her wedding because they were determined to ruin her big day. But our heroine kept going, showing that love can beat anything.
The community came together to support the couple, and the mother-in-law and her helpers were punished by fate. The groom’s family had to deal with results, but love and strength won out in the end.
