It should have been a red flag when she walked up to the altar beside her son and said, 'You don't have to do this.' Eventually, he told her to sit, and we finished the wedding. She went through my drawers and complained to him about my pricey underwear, only to find out they had been a gift from him.
I contacted Child Protective Services and made a report detailing her plan to 'frame' me as an unfit mother in an attempt to gain custody. My husband and I called my MIL to confront her about what we knew. She immediately went into denial, screaming, crying, and insisting she'd never do something like that, while heavily guilt-tripping my husband. By the end of her 'tantrum,' she managed to tug at his emotions, but I stayed firm.
