The mother-in-law behaves like a childlike teenager. She accuses me of having diabetes, even though I just insisted on getting tested, my husband’s mother fell ill completely by herself.
But now I am the number one enemy of the people, because it is my fault that now he cannot have everything good, but must follow a strict diet. For example, if he didn’t know, it would be easier.
My mother-in-law is overweight. With a height of one hundred and sixty centimeters, she weighs about one hundred and forty kilograms.
He always had jars of sweets and biscuits laid out around the house, there were fatty sausages in the refrigerator, everything was cooked in butter and sprinkled with mayonnaise.
The husband is lucky, he has a metabolism that he inherited from his father. No matter how much her husband eats, he still remains skinny. Knowing my predisposition to excess weight, I adhere to a strict diet, only occasionally allow myself some exceptions.
Every visit to my husband’s mother has been a major blow to the liver and pancreas. Either there is nothing at all, or understand that there are as many calories in a plate as there are in my three daily diets.
The mother-in-law did not stress her weight. She always stressed that everyone in her family was in her body and there was nothing terrible about that.
Aesthetically, let her look the way she likes it, but obesity is very harmful to the body. There are so many sores due to this, it may be that you will howl.
About a year ago, my mother-in-law started complaining about her health. Hands and feet go numb, numb, old age has come. She in principle she did not go to the doctors, as they say.
He measures his blood pressure, drinks pills and lies in pain. He believes the pressure comes from time, age, anything but a hundred pounds.
I began to notice that my mother-in-law drinks a lot. I mean, water. When she came to us, she easily sucked a liter.
Yet everything began to heal badly. Cat scratches, which usually pass fairly quickly, in her mother-in-law have become inflamed and healed within a month, if not more.
All these signs were familiar to me, my paternal grandmother was diabetic, so I have experience. Diabetes is not a disease that goes away on its own.
I expressed my concerns to my mother-in-law, but she didn’t take them seriously. She stated that there were no diabetics in her family. But that doesn’t mean anything.
My husband and I insisted that my mother-in-law go for the test. She complained, but she went to the hospital anyway. And my suspicions have been confirmed: the mother-in-law actually has diabetes.
The doctor prescribed pills, prescribed a diet that completely contradicted the mother-in-law’s eating habits, said she needed to exercise and lose weight.
The husband, very worried about his mother, immediately removed all the sweets from the house that she was not allowed, bought food that the doctor allowed her, even dragged a bain-marie.
But this touching concern of the mother-in-law did not reconcile with reality. Of course, when you’re used to eating fatty mayonnaise salads in bowls, washed down with sweet compotes, it’s very hard to miss all of this overnight.
But it is an adult who must understand that this is for her own health, so that the disease does not progress. Diabetes has very dire consequences, I know.
I wanted the best, but now my mother-in-law communicates to me through her teeth, believing it to be my fault that she was diagnosed with diabetes.
Inadequate position of children. But now I am not going to my husband’s mother, because it is unpleasant to constantly hear how I have complicated her life for her.
As if I were silent, the diabetes would have resolved somewhere. An adult woman’s reluctance to take responsibility is already annoying.
