The Mother-in-Law Suggested the Following: That We Move in with Her and Rent Out Our Flat.

The motherinlaw suggested that we move into her house and sublet our flat. With almost no alternative, we agreed. Whenever my husband was home, everyone was pleasant to me, but as soon as he left the mood shifted. I was instantly put in my place and wasnt even allowed near the fridge.
I often broke down in tears in front of my husband, trying to explain what was happening, yet he didnt believe me. He claimed his mother and sister would never act like that. He was especially doubtful when I told him they had coated my hairbrush with a sticky substance. I dont know how much longer I could have endured if a decisive event hadnt occurred.
Usually we left together in the morninghim to work, me to drop the children at kindergarten. That day, Paul felt unwell and decided to stay home. I went out to run some errands and, on returning, ran straight into Marc, my sisterinlaw Claires boyfriend, in the hallway.
Hey, you, go fetch some beer right now!
Are you crazy? I asked, stunned.
What, you dont get it? I said right now! Need me to repeat it?
My motherinlaw emerged from the kitchen:
Thats right! Let her at least do something useful, you goodfornothing! And take out the trash too!
Just then the bedroom door swung open and Paul appeared. A heavy silence fell over the room. My motherinlaw fled back to the kitchen, while my husband marched to Marc, grabbed him by the collar and threw him down the stairs, shouting that he was never to set foot here again.
Claire tried to say something but only shrugged. My motherinlaw attempted to spark a fight, but Paul cut her off before she could finish. He immediately called the tenants and told them it would be their last month in our flat. Then he turned to his mother and sister and said firmly:
**If, before the end of the month, you utter even one more insulting word about my wife, consider that you no longer have a son.**
A month later we moved back into our own apartment. Yet the nightmare lingered for a long time. My motherinlaw and my fatherinlaw disowned Paul, but it didnt affect him. He even declared he never wanted to see or hear from them again.
