So we got married pretty quick. I'm happy to play nice about a lot of things. Like when she told me that there was no autism in China because they don't do vaccinations. She told me that my husband had gotten SIDS as a baby from vaccines. And if you know what SIDS is, you know that makes no sense. But I tried not to confront her about things.

But when we got married, we wanted Tanya, our daughter, to have some stability and some safety and security. And this was a chance for his mom to be grandma.

This is the sweet spot. You get to be the fun one. You get to take a step back and just be grandma. Turns out that's not what she wanted at all. She wanted Tanya desperately. She started pulling some weird tricks where Tanya would be sleeping over with her. And when she got back to us... She would be telling us stories about the sleepover and things weren't adding up.

Like one of the times my husband's ex-girlfriend had also spent the night, but we were mad because this confused our six-year-old. And he was like, that isn't really appropriate. And when he confronted his mom, her answer was, you'd only be upset if you still had feelings for her.

We distanced ourselves a little bit. They were still seeing each other, but not as much. And we just tried to set some boundaries. But the shit hit the fan because we found out the day before Tanya's seventh birthday that I was having twins. When we called his mom to tell her, her response was, you're going to need me. Not congratulations, not I'm so happy for you, nothing.

Yeah. And on Tanya's birthday the next day, suddenly her bio mom called. What? She hadn't seen her in years. And then within a few weeks, we got notified that bio mom was coming for a visit. We kind of suspected that my husband's mom was involved in getting her down there. We were honest with her. We're like, we're glad you're coming to see Tanya.

We're not really on great terms with my husband's mom right now. So we're trying to kind of keep her out of being the middleman on this. It was all well and good. She came, she picked up Tanya. That evening rolled around and she didn't bring her home. Oh, boy. And we're like, where are you? Where is she? And she's like, I'm going to stay the night with your mom. She's really upset.
