During our dating days, my husband was my mother’s sweetheart because he was always showering her with money and goodies. Then we got married. Almost immediately after the ceremony, he lost his job. Things went downhill quickly. Luckily, I was working before we got married. So I stepped up and took care of my family.

I thought my mother was on our side, that was my mistake. This woman changed when I told her we were struggling, and that I was the one holding us down financially. From that moment, she began attacking my husband at the least provocation. She would say things to suggest he wasn’t a real man because he lost his ability to provide for his family. Some of her remarks were so distasteful that I cannot bear to repeat them here.
The painful part is that she said these things to his face. That’s how much she disrespected him. One day, while attempting to provoke my husband she told him, “The way you are struggling, I suspect you can use me for money rituals.”
From 2017 to 2023, this woman peppered us ankasa. She frustrated our lives in all shades and hues. She never missed an opportunity to disgrace me and my husband.
One time, I was talking to her when she subtly said, “Why don’t you leave that man you married if he cannot take care of you?” I complained about her behaviour to my dad several times, but all he ever did was apologise on her behalf.

Through it all, my husband never spoke back at her. He calmly took her insults and showed her no disrespect. One day I decided I had had enough. I drove my mother out of my house while she was attacking us. And I warned her never to set foot in my matrimonial home again. Even though we have reconciled now, she is still not welcome in our home.
Today, things are back on track. My husband has an excellent-paying job. Life is awesome. I can proudly say I am the happiest woman today because I believed in him. Even though he has forgiven my mother for everything she did, I haven’t forgotten any of it.
How The Death Of Our Son Nearly Brought Our Marriage To An End
Lately, he has been giving me gifts to pass on to her, just like he used to do before we got married. He gives me money and pieces of cloth. Me, Adjoa, I will never give them to her. She doesn’t deserve it. I know my husband won’t ask her about them, so I will use that money to compensate my soul for all the pain she put us through. As for the cloths, I know exactly what to do with them.
After everything she has done, if you ask me to choose between my husband and my mother, I will definitely leave my mother drowning in the waters.

I support you with 30 bags of cement.

Adjoa, you have really done well. Your husband and father are proud of you so much. Kudos!
Chop the money! But I wish your mother would know that you’re chopping her gifts because of how she behaved.
Please don’t chop it forever, after sometime give the new gifts that will come to her.
Tell her how much you have chopped and tell her you would give new ones to her. Please do this because your husband has a reason for returning to gifting her.
Most people will never understand da why some of us would choose an outsider over a family member
” yhhh she’s your mother ..father…sister …uncle ….aunt…they are family oooo ….she bore u 4 9 months n this n dat gbla gbla” …..if u noe emotional torture 😢 then u will understand her plight
I pray u choosing ur hubby over ur mum, he will stick 4ever.
Whatever she did 2 u guyz, u noe best deeply how u n ur home were wounded…but never cut her off if she’s apologised or not .
Cuz most men i mean 99% change n dey will rather choose their mums if it’s the other way round
Two wrongs never right things.
Though allowing her in your matrimonial home is not an option, give her everything your husband asks you to give to her.
Let posterity judge her.
KARMA will find it’s own way of dealing with her.
If your husband finds out that you are diverting the gifts to yourself he may mistrust you. If you can’t or won’t deliver the gifts your mum, return them to your husband and ask him to deliver them himself
Namesake, I agree with all of the above, well done.
BUT hubby has a reason for his actions to your mum, please do as he requests…
I thank God for your life and for standing up for your husband when he was done. I also thank God that He came through for your husband 🙏
