Rude Mother-In-law Sends A Very Hurtful Email Body Shaming Her Son’s Wife

Some parents are overprotective to an extreme.

While I understand that in our parents’ eyes, we will always be their lovable children, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t give us the freedom to live our own lives. After all, if you don’t learn to fly after repeatedly falling down, you’ll never learn what the real world is like. Families, on the other hand, enjoy poking their noses into their children’s relationships. While I believe it is reasonable for parents to monitor who their children date, this does not give them the authority to control their child’s life.

This is something that many parents do not comprehend. I am well aware that a child is perfect in their parent’s eyes, and no one will ever be good enough for them. That doesn’t mean you can completely despise your child’s partner. It’s one thing to dislike the partner with whom your child lives; it’s quite another to send a derogatory email body-shaming that same partner. That is precisely what this mother-in-law did. She thought it would be a good idea to send a heinous email to her son pointing out all the flaws in the woman he loves.

The title says it all.

And it all started after they got back from a vacation with his family.

The email the mother-in-law sent was basically body-shaming OP.

This is just part of the email and it is already making my blood boil.

Whatever she may look like, this email was horrible.

And apparently, this isn’t the first time she has done this sort of thing.

I can’t believe a mother would do this.

So now her partner isn’t sure as to how he should proceed with this.

He isn’t used to confrontation either.

So that is why she asked Reddit for help.

After all, the mother-in-law deserves a proper response.

Anyone who adores their child would never behave in this manner. I understand finding flaws in your child’s partner, but this should never happen. Who cares about the partner’s appearance as long as your child is happy with them? This mother-in-law’s thinking is quite outdated, and I’m surprised she had the audacity to send this email. Did she believe her son would agree and not show the email to OP? If I were ever in this situation, I would not contact my parents until they apologised thoroughly, and even then, I would not contact them as frequently.

And people in the comments were ready to go off.

Quite a few people had great advice to give.

Going no-contact might be the best solution.

I am not sure if she would heed the warning.

But it never hurts to try.

What are your thoughts on the matter? What is your opinion on how he should respond to his mother? Should he simply disregard the mail and never contact her again? Should he be assertive and put her in her place? What would you do in this situation? Please let us know in the comments section below.
