Why is that my family has to always please my husband's family, be available for them to pass remarks or sarcasms, give them gifts alone, be apologetic for everything?
Why is this assumption that only my husband's parents are getting old? That they need care? My mother and father did as much for me and are aging too, they get unwell too... Why is that my going to them becomes my sin? Why is that my thinking about their care becomes selfish? If respect for seniors is the same, what wrong have my parents done?
Why is that my parents are expected to treat my husband not as son but some lord? Why when he tries to give love to my parents, he is made to feel bad? And why do I have to be always act like I am less. I can't even be a daughter at home...
Why this discrepancy? I am as educated, as precious to the world... my family as respectable, as kind....
