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

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.
