- 1/2 the problem
Dear Mrs Figgins:
My mother-in-law is ruining my marriage and I am at the end of my tether.
I got pregnant before my husband and I married and she thinks I tricked him. She has done everything to humiliate me saying that I was irresponsible and thoughtless. She has said that I interfered with his college. By the way I was also going to college. The most hurtful of all is when she calls my son a “mistake” right in front of him.
My husband just says there’s nothing he can do about her and completely dismisses my feelings.
I don’t think this is healthy for my son or my marriage

Dear Lisa:
Your husband has allowed his mother to humiliate you and your son. They are equally culpable.
The future of your marriage depends on what kind of man he is, and on your own self-respect.
Hubbby needs to put the brakes on Mama and become a real father and husband, or you’ll be writing the same unfortunate letter a few years from now.
Mrs. Figgins
