The mother-in-law behaves like an infantile teenage girl. She accuses me of having diabetes, although I just insisted on getting tested, my husband’s mother got the disease completely on her own.
But now I am the number one enemy of the people, because it is because of me that now she can’t have everything tasty, but she must adhere to a strict diet. Like, if she didn’t know regarding it, it would be easier.
My mother-in-law is overweight. With a height of one hundred and sixty centimeters, she weighs regarding one hundred and forty kilograms.
She always had vases with sweets and cookies placed around her house, there were fatty sausages in the refrigerator, everything was cooked in butter and sprinkled with mayonnaise.
The husband is lucky, he has a metabolism that he inherited from his father. No matter how much the husband eats, he still remains thin. I, knowing my predisposition to excess weight, adhere to a strict diet, only occasionally allow myself some exceptions.
Every visit to my husband’s mother was a blow to the liver and pancreas. There is either nothing at all, or to understand that there are as many calories in one plate as in my three daily diets.
The mother-in-law did not stress regarding her weight. She always emphasized that everyone in her family was in the body, and there was nothing terrible regarding that.
From an aesthetic point of view, let her look how she likes, but obesity is very harmful to the body. There are so many sores because of this, it can be that you will howl.
About a year ago, my mother-in-law began to complain regarding her health. Hands and feet go numb, dizzy, old age has come. She did not go to the doctors in principle, like what they say.
She measures her own blood pressure, drinks pills and lies suffering. He believes that the pressure is from the weather, from age, from anything, but not from an extra hundred kilos.
I began to notice that my mother-in-law drinks a lot. I mean, water. When she came to us, she sucked a liter easily.
And yet it all began to heal badly. Cat scratches, which usually pass quite quickly, in the mother-in-law became inflamed and healed in a month, if not longer.
All these signs were familiar to me, my paternal grandmother was a diabetic, so I have experience. Diabetes is not a disease that will go away on its own.
I voiced my concerns to my mother-in-law, but she did not take them seriously. She stated that there were no diabetics in her family. But that doesn’t mean anything.
My husband and I insisted that my mother-in-law go and get tested. She grumbled, but went to the hospital anyway. And my suspicions were confirmed – the mother-in-law actually has diabetes.
The doctor prescribed pills, prescribed a diet that completely contradicted the mother-in-law’s eating habits, said that she needed to exercise and lose weight.
The husband, who is very worried regarding her mother, immediately removed all the sweets that she was not allowed from her house, bought food that the doctor allowed, even dragged a double boiler.
But this touching concern mother-in-law did not reconcile with reality. Of course, when you are used to eating fatty mayonnaise salads in bowls, washing down with sweet compotes, it is very difficult to lose all this overnight.
But she is an adult who must understand that this is for her own health, so that the disease does not progress. Diabetes has very dire consequences, I know.
I wanted the best, but now my mother-in-law communicates with me through her teeth, considering it me to blame for the fact that she was diagnosed with diabetes.
Children’s inadequate position. But now I don’t go to my husband’s mother, because it’s unpleasant to constantly listen to how I complicated her life.
As if if I kept silent, the diabetes would resolve itself somewhere. The reluctance of an adult woman to take responsibility is already annoying.
