When my mother-in-law, Patricia, unexpectedly offered to babysit my four-year-old son, Noah, on our anniversary, I felt uneasy but agreed. I should have trusted my instincts.My husband, Eric, loves Noah like his own.
The only issue has been Patricia, who often makes subtle, hurtful comments about my son. Still, I tried to keep the peace for Eric’s sake.On our anniversary, Eric and I went out for dinner and even stayed at a hotel.
