OP graduates college and moves in with her boyfriend’s family due to financial difficulties.

OP’s last living grandfather, who had saved her from a dangerous situation as a child, passes away. She struggles to cope with the loss, receiving little sympathy from her mother-in-law, who callously remarks, “That’s just how life is.” The MIL even mocks OP at the funeral.

A Cruel Woman

The mother-in-law shows her cruelty further by dismissing the health of the family cat, exclaiming, “Who cares if he dies? He’s 16.” The OP loves the cat dearly and is appalled by her MIL’s cold-heartedness. This woman seems to care only about herself.

One responder wrote: “Are you 18 or older? You should leave that place. She sounds stressful to be around, and I have been in that spot before.”

Another reader writes, “Don’t tell her a damn thing. Also, is it enough for you and SO to get your own spot?”

A different person states: “I hate this. Inheritance should always be private. My husband won’t even know how much I get. It’s a personal thing that only comes from a death (usually). It’s not a happy situation, and people treat it like a lottery.”
