Toxic mother in-law
My mother in-law is a successful business woman in her early 70s. She is a NPD (narcissist) who hates her own daughter (ie my wife), yet heavily favors her son (traditional Taiwanese family value). While my wife was going to college, she would only provide enough allowance for her, so she frequently is left with very little money at month end to eat at McDonald when she studied in the U.S. And when my wife was to marry me, my mother in-law made my wife give up all her savings from 10 years of work to pay her back for supporting my wife thru her master degree. But, when her loser son (my brother in-law, the golden child) went to London for his MBA, she bought him a house. Now, my mother in-law is getting old, she is planning to leave 95% of her estate to the loser son, who is 35 years old, and never worked in his life. My mother-in law still cooks for him, does his laundry and treats him like a prince. But on the other hand, she demands us to buy her furniture, washer and dryer and computer when we go visit her. What piss us off is that she has net worth of well over 10 million, yet she is super stingy with us, cuz in her traditional value, the daughter is no good and is not a family once she is married. Yet, she expects us to be filial and respectful to her. We admit that we are greedy and wish for some inheritance down the road, but we found out she is setting up trust to prevent my wife getting anything. I truly wish my brother in-law, the loser son, would abandon her and marry someone mean to abuse my mother-in law.
