I Was Publicly Humiliated for Bringing M

I brought a dish from my late mom’s recipes to my in-laws’ family dinner last weekend

My MIL gave me a mean look and told me, “Get your mom’s food out of my house!” as I put it on the table. I hugged my husband goodbye and drove to wait for him for an hour.

Until he suddenly laughed out loud and asked, “Did you hear the joke my cousin told at dinner?”. The ride home was quiet. He’s so funny that he should be a comedian.

It was only my third time meeting my mother-in-law and the second time I’d been to a party with his family. My mother passed away a year before we got married, so my MIL never got to meet her.I have no idea where this anger is coming from. Now that my mom’s memory was disrespected, I feel both ashamed and deeply hurt.

It’s even worse that my husband doesn’t care about how I feel and doesn’t even try to apologize or acknowledge them. It’s hard for me to get over this, especially since he doesn’t support me or say sorry on behalf of his mother.
