Real-life. “My son came to me with his stuff and said he was getting a divorce”: When I found out the reason, I immediately supported his decision

One day my son told me he was going to get married. We knew his girlfriend. They had been together for a year.

They organized the wedding themselves and didn't charge us a penny. At that time I didn't know about the matchmaker's financial situation. We only met once or twice before the wedding to get to know each other better. She was a normal, nice, neatly dressed woman — that's all I could say about her.

We were ready to contribute financially to the ceremony, but my son asked us not to interfere. That's when we decided to renovate the apartment that my son received as a gift from his grandmother. The apartment needed renovation. We renovated it and it turned out great.

We gave them an envelope with money for the wedding, they could choose their own furniture. My daughter-in-law's mother also gave them an envelope. She was in great shape, her hair well-groomed and styled, a custom-made dress, and high heels. I admired her for taking care of herself. The newlyweds began living separately in my son's apartment.

My husband and I didn't bother them. Sometimes they invited us to parties, sometimes we invited them for dinner. Usually we invited each other to birthday parties. The rest of the time they spent together.

We didn't get along well with the bride's mother, so we didn't invite each other to visit. Five years passed, and the newlyweds still didn't have children. We didn't ask questions. Maybe they can't, so why press the sore spot?

Six months ago, my son came to us at night with a suitcase. He said he wanted to get a divorce and move in with us for a while. I didn't expect this: I thought they were doing well, that they got along. He told me that the reason for the divorce was his mother-in-law. In particular, her children and the debts that my son had to pay off.

It turns out that my daughter-in-law's mother doesn't work, lives off the young, has bills, children, spends a lot of money on her beauty, gets expensive injections and various treatments. I support my son and I'm proud of him. He is not obligated to put up with this woman's demands.
