"For 20 years as a daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law has never once called me 'mother'. When I reached my old age, at my birthday party, I decided to announce my will, shocking everyone," said a mother-in-law in China, posted on page 163.
The tense meeting and the bride's covenant
She still remembers clearly the day her son brought his girlfriend home to meet his family. The girl was well-dressed, attractive, and quite polite. However, that meal made her feel uncomfortable at all.

"At that time, my son was just getting to know me. Because I wanted to meet my future daughter-in-law, I prepared a lot of delicious dishes. Who would have thought that as soon as we sat down at the table, the girl would say directly: 'Auntie, I have my own opinion about this marriage. If I get married in the future, I hope to have my own space and don't want to live together.'
Her words made me freeze. At that moment, a wave of anger welled up in my heart, and I wanted to say something tough. But then I thought of my son, afraid that if I made a fuss, he would be in a difficult position. In the end, I held back, smiled and replied: 'Let's get to know each other first, if our relationship is good, we can discuss everything'," the mother-in-law recalled.
Although she was still happy on the outside, inside she was already feeling a knot. The girl was still comfortable, still greeting each other, but clearly did not consider her future mother-in-law as anything. Her son was still young at that time, blinded by love, obediently listened to his girlfriend, even agreeing that she did not want to live with his mother. " Even though I was unhappy inside, I did not stop him, I just wanted my son to be happy," the mother-in-law confided.
Then they got married. She told herself, newlyweds, maybe gradually she would change, calling her "mom" would not be difficult.
"But after waiting for 20 years, she never once called me mom. My son even explained for her: 'My wife is shy and doesn't dare to say anything, don't take it to heart'.
Embarrassed? It's been 20 years, the children are all grown up and you're still embarrassed to call me 'mom'? Can you even say that? I know clearly, in her heart she has never considered me as family.
There was a distance before marriage, and after marriage it didn't change. All these years have passed, and I always feel frustrated inside."
Strange things daughter-in-law has been doing for 20 years
She said that, in fact, it was okay for her daughter-in-law not to call her "mother". What made her sad was that in their daily behavior, she always felt there was a wall separating the two of them. For example, every holiday season, while other daughters-in-law were busy preparing gifts and asking about their mother-in-law's health, her daughter-in-law only did it perfunctorily.
"I know she's always been on guard. The words she said before we got married are still imprinted in her mind," she said.
The relationship between her and her son also became more and more distant. At first, her son still often came home to chat and ask about his mother's health. But since her daughter-in-law entered the family, especially after having a child, her son came home less and less, and every time he saw his mother, it was only a quick and hurried visit. Gradually, even the way he talked to his mother became distant.
The mother-in-law always believes that it is the daughter-in-law who creates distance between family members.
What hurt her the most was when she got sick and had to be hospitalized. She called her son to come and take care of her. On the other end of the line, her son stammered, "Mom, I'm busy right now. My wife also has to take care of me. I'll come over when I have time." As a result, she was hospitalized for five days, and her son didn't come to visit her even once.
" At that time, I felt really desperate. My son had completely sided with his wife, no longer the little boy who always cared about his mother. All of this made me determined. If in their hearts, I am someone who is okay with having or not having, then there is no need to leave them my assets," she decided.

Stunning Birthday Announcement
On that birthday, many relatives and friends came, the atmosphere was extremely lively. The son and daughter-in-law were busy receiving guests, pretending to be filial. Especially the daughter-in-law, on the surface she smiled warmly at her mother-in-law but in reality it was just an act for everyone to see. She sat at the main table, looking at the scene before her eyes, already having a plan in mind.
Waiting for everyone to settle down, the food was fully prepared, the mother-in-law raised her glass of wine, looked around and smiled, saying: "Today, I would like to thank everyone for coming to my birthday. I am 65 years old, this life is considered complete. There are not many days left, so there are some things I want to make clear to everyone.
Today, everyone is here, so I won't hide it anymore. I've decided that I won't leave my house and savings to my family anymore, because no one needs them anyway. I plan to donate them all to needy children who really need help."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire dining table fell silent, not even the sound of the dishes and chopsticks could be heard. The daughter-in-law's face darkened, she almost dropped her chopsticks, and quickly turned to look at her husband.
Her son was stunned, frowned and asked: "Mom, you're not joking, are you?".
She smiled and replied: "I don't keep this money for anything, I might as well donate it and do charity work. Later, you two can live well on your own, don't always think about your mother's little fortune."
After saying that, she lifted her glass of wine and drank it all, feeling relieved. All the resentment she had accumulated over the years was finally released today.
When the daughter-in-law asked again in resentment, the mother-in-law also answered frankly: "I know what to do. Don't think that I'm doing this to anyone. How we've lived together for the past 20 years, we all know in our hearts."
The two unfilial children kept apologizing to their mother, and she expressed her feelings: "I don't blame you. You have your own family, your own life, and I don't expect you to always be by my side. I just think that this house and this money should be used in a more useful place. You two shouldn't think too much anymore, I'm old, so you should look at things more positively."
Finally, the poor mother-in-law gave up her obsession and no longer waited for her daughter-in-law to call her "mom"!
