My entitled mother-in-law embarrasses me in front of my entire extended family,

and when she starts screaming at me after I confront her about what she's done,

my husband runs off and hides, leaving me to defend myself against his crazy mother,

and I honestly could not be more upset.

So I am shaken and disturbed right now.

Last spring, I got seriously sick, and my hair became knotted and tangled beyond return.

I had too much going on to properly disentangle it, and it got worse,

to the point where it hurt just to pass a brush over it.

I love my long hair to pieces, and was heartbroken that I had to cut it off,

so I ended up putting it in a box and keeping it in my drawer.

I know it sounds weird, but just bear with me.

Yesterday, my sister-in-law, meaning my brother-in-law's wife,

casually mentioned in conversation how she loved my hair from before,

and how even though I was sick, I should have called a professional,

or someone from my family, and not let it get to that point,

as my husband apparently would look down on me or get disgusted.

I was confused at what she was talking about, and I asked her what she meant.

She was mortified that she let it slip, and she told me that she knows about the hair,

and that my mother-in-law sent pictures of it over their group chat,

and I honestly could not believe it.

I immediately called my husband aside, and asked him whether that was true or not.

He said yes, and said that I shouldn't have kept the hair for others to see,
