In a functional family, people strive to create an environment in which everyone feels safe and respected.
However, as Redditor OkOrganization9552 and his wife were getting ready to welcome their first child into the world, the dynamic in theirs shifted. The man’s mother started exhibiting increasingly hostile behavior toward his partner, injecting more and more tension into their everyday life.
He detailed everything in a candid post on the subreddit r/AITAH, hoping that its members would help him make sense of the situation and would offer an unbiased opinion on his own response to it.
