| 0:00.0 | My toxic in-laws have been constantly talking garbage about me behind my back in another language, |
| 0:05.6 | saying terrible things about me under the guise that I couldn't understand them. But after listening |
| 0:10.1 | to this for several months, as well as putting up with so many awful comments, I decided to drop |
| 0:15.2 | the news that yes, I understood what they were saying, and that I've known the entire time. |
| 0:20.0 | And now, as a result, my entire extended family has freaked out on me, and that I've known the entire time. And now, as a result, my entire extended |
| 0:22.5 | family has freaked out on me, claiming that I'm the one at fault for secretly knowing that they |
| 0:27.0 | were insulting me all along. Here's what happened. My husband and I have been married for about |
| 0:31.3 | three years, and for the sake of the story, we'll call my husband Peter. We have one child together, |
| 0:35.9 | and I was pregnant with our second, and I'm |
| 0:38.1 | Western Canadian while he is from Germany. We lived in Canada for a long time, but because of |
| 0:43.0 | inflation, moving back to Germany seemed to be a better option for us. So we bought a nice house |
| 0:47.9 | in the place where my husband is from. The day after our flights to Germany, we all visited |
| 0:52.3 | Peter's family, and this was the second time I've seen them, with the first time being our wedding. |
| 0:57.0 | They greeted us and brought us inside of the house, fussing over my son. We had dinner, and soon we left the house, wanting to settle into our new home. |
| 1:04.0 | Now, we visited Peter's family often for the next few months, but I had started to realize that they would sometimes speak about me in |
| 1:11.0 | German. They would make rude comments on my hair and makeup, question my fashion choices, |
| 1:15.9 | and overall were just very unkind to me. They also said mean things about my pregnant belly, |
| 1:20.7 | which I was already insecure about. I ended up talking to my husband about this, and I told him |
| 1:25.5 | that I didn't like the way that they were treating |
| 1:27.6 | me. I said that I hated how my every choice was judged. So he told me that he would talk to his family. |
| 1:33.3 | Well, the next time we went to his parents' house, there were no more mean comments. And for about |
| 1:37.7 | three months, it was like nothing ever happened. I gave birth to a perfect baby girl that we named Lilith, and Peter's family was very upset when they heard the name. |
