Hi Anu Akka, Today I want to share about the negativity which entered into my life after marriage. I was always an ambitious goal-oriented girl who excelled in academics which was making me so much more confident along with my parent’s support. I have 2 siblings along with me whom I need to take care of as they were a little dull in academics and also in social mingling.

After my engineering, I was the source of income for my parents and family. Once my marriage was fixed, I clearly conveyed this to my husband to avoid financial conflicts in the future. He is really a great man indeed who promised me that I could continue supporting my family as he felt it was his responsibility too.

But the toxicity started once I got married with my mother-in-law who still thinks that girls once married should stop supporting their parents. She was always taunting me for that. Once she even scolded in front of my husband to resign from job and be a home keeper comparing my co-sister and brother-in-law as he only earns and she takes cares of the children.

In this conflict, my husband was manipulated by the emotional drama of his mother and didn’t even say a word while she was just talking all these unnecessary words.

These talks brought so much negativity and created a gap for us as a couple which also led to many miscarriages and not much emotional support from my husband as we also live outside India which made me go through a lot personally.

Now after some time, I am coping with my mental health to stop thinking of toxicity and negativity. Then focus on my health, personal life, and career.

But anyhow I am still not sure if many other women after marriage suffer from this toxicity of in-laws.
