MIL Invited Everyone to a Big Family Event, but She Excluded Me, and I Accepted It.

greetings I'm Jenny aged 27 3 years back I tied the knot with Hugo the most remarkable person I've ever met he's a delightful goofball overflowing with kindness and compassion making each day feel extraordinary regrettably the same sentiment doesn't extend to his mother Maria also known as my mother-in-law for reasons unknown Maria has harbored animosity toward me since day one a sentiment I comprehend after all Hugo is her cherished son and she's merely safeguarding his interests however I firmly believe she sometimes crosses the line Maria has a knack for subil injustices that seem Innocent but are actually calculated to incite frustration painting you as the unreasonable one we all have encountered someone like her unfortunately she happens to be my mother-in-law I was brought up differently I'm inclined to call out nonsense and rarely hold back perhaps that's what Drew hubo to me our contrasting personalities attracting each other as they say having studied psychology I can discern Maria's ill intentions our dominant personalities Clash which likely led to her first words to me Jenny don't you think it's time to stop eating so much the table fell silent stunned mortification painted my face pale as Hugo Kyle my father-in-law and Maria's son reacted hubo though embarrassed admonished his mother Mom that's terrible to say Jenny can eat as she pleases Maria backp claiming concern for my well-being citing old photos where I appeared better despite my embarrassment morphing into irritation I kept calm not wanting to cause a scene during our initial meeting I graciously accepted her unsolicited advice as time passed such incidents increased in frequency and intensity despite bonding with everyone Maria remained the so denter her disdain unfounded even Hugo's childhood friend kidak embraced me yet Maria persisted even on my wedding day behaving like a brid Cilla trying to undermine me no her hair should be in an updo like mine was but you look so ugly Maria's Antics persisted but amid the turmoil I cherished the love and acceptance from the rest of Hugo's Family the guests from the bridal party were audible yet I found myself unsurprised having grown accustomed to such situations in an attempt to rectify her words my mother-in-law hastily backtracked oh no darling that's not what I meant you have the potential to look so much better I see a lot of myself in Jenny she's a bright young woman despite looking better at her age I'd like to say she's beautiful in her own way while my father-in law managed to quill her ruthless Antics on that day the lingering pain and bitterness persisted it went against my nature to remained silent and passive my vibrant energy was diminishing drained by this woman who seemed determined to undermine me fast forward 3 years to the current events of our story We gathered at Hugo's childhood home his parents residence for dinner on a Sunday night my mother-in-law had graciously invited us including Jack in indicating something significant was a food I had my suspicions which were later confirmed making the dinner plan seem more calculated as the evening unfolded my mother-in-law seized everyone's attention announcing an important Revelation armed with a paper she began reading attention everyone I have an announcement since my birthday is approaching I want to share my plans we're going to Hawaii the paper confirmed the trip met with excitement from everyone at the table that sounds fantastic what amazing news Jenny I've always wanted to go to Hawaii this is great news I'm so excited thanks so much Ma actually you're not coming honey what do you mean this wasn't part of the plan I made some last minute changes and canceled her ticket before incurring extra charges so my ticket was already purchased and she just canceled it why does she hate me so much Mom what are you talking about in the ensuing chaos Jack and I remained silent harsh words flew back and forth until Maria finally offered an explanation okay okay fine I'll tell you why I thought Jenny shouldn't join the family event as I'm getting older I want to spend my remaining years with those I care about most unfortunately Jenny doesn't belong on that list mom really what's wrong with you nothing's wrong with me I'm just saying Jenny can't be considered family since she's not related by blood by that logic Jack shouldn't go either right he's not technically family as you're stating but we all know that's preposterous he is part of the family since Hugo and Jenny got married she's family too well Jack is different he's always been here our sweet baby angel but Jenny hasn't I'm just not comfortable with with her on the trip it's my birthday and I get to decide come on Jenny we're leaving my Resolute no reverberated through the room capturing everyone's attention including my adversary who had been struggling to contain a smile however her expression turned serious at once Maria it's been evident from the start that you harbored disdain toward me for three years I've endured your unbearable Behavior do you think we're blind to your actions do you believe we don't see your narcissism watch your tone young lady remember you're in my house and it won't be for much longer in fact I'm about to leave but before I go there's something I need to say I addressed my beloved husband whose eyes burned with anger as he looked at his mother darling I love you completely and I tried to weather the storm for so long but it's clear now that your mother will never embrace me into this family no matter how hard I try or how often I hold my tongue She'll always find fault with me you should go on this trip you can't miss it despite her quirks she's still your mother and you love her and she loves you so go don't worry about me I'll manage turning to my mother-in-law who appeared stunned by my words I continued and as for you unfortunately for you I'm in love with your son and I'm not going anywhere you might think you can push me out but I'm here to stay even in Hawaii you'll be thinking of me because let's be honest I think you're fixated on me how dare you I ought to slap you right now I'm at done you're fixated on me obsessed with tearing me down and I can't fathom why when all I've done is extend kindness and patience even when you didn't deserve it but enough is enough if you don't want me in Hawaii or consider me part of the family fine but I will always be here as long as I breathe I'll be here for Hugo Kyle and even Jack but never for you in that moment I realized I had finally silenced her she stood with her mouth aape seemingly searching for words that her mind wouldn't valow I bid farewell to the other family members kissed my husband on the cheek and headed towards the exit let me drive you home at least I can't let you take a cap don't worry about me babe I love you and thank you for loving me but I'll be fine you have a trip to discuss okay if you say you'll be fine I'll believe you oh don't forget your purse right my purse I left it in the kitchen upon reaching the kitchen where Maria had retreated presumably to catch her breath after the altercation I encountered her what do you want don't worry about me sweetheart I'm just here to collect my things well make it quick I want you out of my house I can't believe you said those things to me with that she swiftly stormed out too filled with anger to see me off in that moment I scoffed at her absurdity grabbed my purse and noticed a piece of paper next to it assuming it was the trip itinerary I grabbed it to sneak a peek at what I was missing as I began to read I discovered Maria's handwriting dearest Jack you've always been like a son to me and I love you dearly oh it's a letter to jack a bit strange but I suppose it's thoughtful for some reason my curiosity led me to read further the love and care you've shown me throughout the years will never be forgotten regrettably even in my son Hugo's case I feel the love we once shared is no longer there wait is she saying she loves Jack more than Hugo that can't be right persisting in reading the letter each line intensified my astonishment the revelations were difficult to Fathom although I recognized it wasn't my place to read the letter I couldn't help but be grateful for stumbling upon it after absorbing its entirety I paced the kitchen contemplating my next steps suddenly it struck me everyone who needed to know about the letter was in that room it was time to act rereading the letter to confirm its contents I sauntered into the dining room where only three PA pairs of eyes meant mine Jenny I am profoundly sorry for what my wife is subjecting you to don't worry at all you're coming to Hawaii with us she's just going through a rough patch right now I'll talk to her and make her see reason I don't know what's gotten into her but I'll sort it out I promise Kyle please don't concern yourself with me as I mentioned I'm fine in fact I've stumbled upon some interesting news that I need to share with everyone especially Hugo Hugo and Jack perked up a flash of worry Crossing Hugo's face perhaps he feared I was overwhelmed and considering a divorce whenever I complained about his mother he'd empathize marveling at how I endured her Antics I'd reassure him it was my love for him that kept me going noticing Maria's absence I inquired where is Maria she needs to be here for this too I mentioned earlier she a bit under the weather after your confrontation mention the headache and opted for a nap upstairs she won't be down for a while you know how she is about her beauty sleep familiar with Maria's peculiar habits that often inconvenienced others I sighed in frustration this is crucial she has to be here it's okay Jenny you can share with us and we'll fill her in when she wakes up contemplating the information I possessed I hesitated I wanted to witness her embarrassment I think you should go ahead and tell us sweetie it's okay and you know Hugo struggles with anxiety it wouldn't be good to keep in Waiting true huo's anxiety could escalate quickly and I observed him beginning to fidget in anticipation all right I'll share with you what I found while I was in the kitchen Gathering my purse and preparing to leave I stumbled upon something intriguing that I believe you all need to know about about retrieving the paper I found I began to read aloud it reads dearest Jack you know that you have always been like a son to me and you know that I love you dearly and the love and care you have shown for me throughout the years will never be forgotten I hate to admit it but even when it comes to my son Hugo I feel as though the love we once shared is no longer there Hugo and I just don't see eye to eye like we used to and honestly I think it's because of Jenny ever since he married that girl he no longer has time for me he doesn't love me and therefore I don't think I love him I love you and you are my son with that being said I want to let you know that I am going to update my will so that you inherit all of my belongings and not Hugo I know it might hurt him but honestly at this point I don't care it's that wretched Jenny girl she's the one who has poisoned my love for him I hope you receive this letter well the reason why I didn't want to approach you about it in person is that and it pains me to admit this I couldn't risk seeing the rejection on your face I know you love Hugo like he's your brother and most likely you won't approve but I don't care I'm giving you everything the money the house the cars and even my small businesses they're all yours whether you like it or not if you want to talk about this further please call me and we can discuss it I look forward to hearing your response I will love you forever and always your second mom after finishing the letter I glanced up to witness a flurry of mixed emotions Kyle appeared on the verge of tears Jack seemed stunned but Hugo Hugo looked like he was on the brink of losing his temper I can't believe she said all those things is she serious so she'd exclude me from her will just despite me and Jenny she's officially lost her mind dies I I don't even know what to say this has gone too far I'm fed up with her toxic Behavior what are we going to do in that moment I had an idea a week passed and it was time for the planned Hawaii trip Maria woke up to find a letter from her husband on her bedside table it read good morning beautiful we decided to let you catch up on your beauty sleep don't worry your bags are packed just meet us at the airport Maria hurriedly got ready and rushed to the airport searching frantically for her travel companions she tried calling them but no one answered assuming they had already boarded she boarded her flight hoping to catch up with them in Hawaii enduring the 12-hour flight she landed and video calleded Kyle hey Kyle where are you guys I woke up late and found your note but none of you were answering I assumed you boarded without me where are you let's start the festivities that won't be happening Maria what do you mean where are you I'm at home what why are you at home you see Maria Jenny brought some important information to our attention last week and since then we decided we'd rather spend time in Florida with her than anywhere else with you Maria gasped you think we wouldn't find out what my baby don't baby me you were really going to cut me out of the will Mom I I I who how did you even find out about that oh that wretched girl you despise so much Jenny found your letter in the kitchen I don't know what you're talking about Maria lying right now is only adding more nails to the coffin Jack tell them you've got to believe me I did nothing of this sort we all read the letter Maria the game is up but but I didn't do anything Jenny is making everything up oh am I you are so pathetic it actually makes me sick we all know what you said and what you tried to do thank goodness I was nosy enough to read the whole thing Hugo Kyle please no Maria enough is enough you're done you don't get to say anything else you messed up big time your hatred has caused you to be blind now you have to suffer the consequences of being alone on your birthday because of what you've done I hope you can use this time in Hawaii to reflect on your actions but I'll be alone it won't be fun maybe people would like to hang out with you more if you weren't such a raging witch have fun and with that Kyle hung up the phone we all let out a sigh of relief I was the first person to start laughing eventually joined by Hugo and before we knew it we were all bursting with laugh at the dining table just laughing at the sheer absurdity of the situation the look on her face once she realized the game was up was priceless her face turned pale all the blood drained from her face and it was evident that it was the first time in a long time that she felt embarrassed Maran had to spend her vacation alone frequently calling Kyle to see if he would at least come and join her because canceling the reservations she made would be expensive but every time he kept denying it stating that when she comes back they were going to have to implement some ground rules if she still wanted to be married to him Maria began to be very apologetic and frantic a complete 180 from her usual demeanor which was genuinely surprising Hugo also mentioned that if Maria still wanted to be in his life she had to make a drastic change in her attitude otherwise he was ready to walk out of her life forever their relationship remained Rocky and Hugo asserted that if Maria ever disrespected him again even with the smallest tonight remark he would cut her off completely just as she had planned for him as for Jack he decided it was best to stop being overly accommodating to Maria as it was clearly enabling her toxic Behavior so not only did Maria end up spending a miserable time in a beautiful place but she also risked losing the three most important people in her life she now has very strange relationships with all of them and she has to change for the better regarding me I messaged her stating that I need time to decide if I'm going to forgive her for all of her injustices she was apologetic and begged me to talk some sense into the men in her life I refused stating that this is the bed she made for herself and now she has to lie in it to this day Maria is still attempting to mend the very broken relationships that she caused I just hope she learned her lesson and
