I was always having problems with my mother in law. All the time. At times I really felt helpless. She would be so unreasonable at times. I could not retaliate since my husband really cares and does not want to hurt her. I was at my wit' s end with her tantrums. She would taunt, complain to my husband regarding small things and make me feel like an outsider. Sometimes I felt like zipping up her lips and thought I am so cruel. I could feel an evil side of me rising out from somewhere. I was growing very irritable. And once while reading an article in the newspaper it just dawned upon me that I should just throw this problem out. I had tried my level best to make her happy but things did not change. Finally I decide whatever she does I will let go and focus myself on something else. Since then I feel much better. Every time she says something bad I let go and think she is aging up. I am silent and I replace my negative thought with a positive one. Believe me it helps. I read more, I am calmer and my mind is at peace. I am not running behind my tail anymore. And my mother in law is wondering what is wrong with me. Now it' s a challenge for me to let go every time she does something I do not like.
