Alyson, 33, has recently penned us a very emotional letter and asked us to share her story with our readers, because the woman needs as many opinions about her case as possible. Alyson’s situation is very special, because she had to experience probably the biggest shock of her life so far, and the reason for this distress was her mother-in-law.

Alyson opened her letter, saying, “I can hardly type my story because I have to live through this once more while I’m writing this. And even thinking about what happened in our family makes me furious.
Recently, my husband, 35, and I went to my grandmother to congratulate her with her anniversary and bring her a present. We have a little daughter, Bella, who’s 1 year old. I didn’t want to take Bella on our trip, though it was a relatively short one, because she would get nervous each time when she got in a car.”

“So, I discussed it with my husband, and he suggested that we ask his mom to look after Bella for a couple of hours while we’ll be away. I should mention that my personal relationship with my MIL, Trish, has never been easy, but I knew that she loved her granddaughter with all her heart and Bella was always happy to see her grandma, so I didn’t have a lot of doubts when my spouse suggested leaving our little one at grandma’s.”

Alyson’s MIL looked after their small daughter while mom and dad were away.
Alyson goes on with her story, saying, “My MIL happily agreed to babysit for us while we would be away. On that day, we came to her place early like we planned and everything was just great from the start. ”

“I did have some disagreements with MIL in the past over my parenting style. In particular, she used to tell me that I was wrong using disposable diapers, buying baby food for Bella from the supermarket and not raising my daughter as an ‘organic’ baby. But I didn’t argue with her, I just had my own opinion and never brought things to some big arguments and scandals.”
