The happiness was too fragile for her. She was on cloud nine at the time of her discharge, seeing her daughter after a C-section. But on the same day, the trauma began.
She was again told to sit in the back seat of the car (her husband's car and he drives), as always. She was sent to her parent's home for her recovery as none wants to take care of a daughter-in-law.
Her post-partum ended and she returned to the place, where she never felt like home.
Everyone was playing with the newborn and she was either in her room or kitchen.
She has been feeling alienated for so long. But this time, it was more painful for her as her daughter was there WITH THEM.
The toxic family is planning a life and future with her daughter (and her motherhood got limited to keep the baby clean, that's it).
The Grandmother (the Mother-in-law) has assigned her daughter to the newborn's responsibility. They are planning her upbringing, school, food, everything. The whole discussion breaches her heart. She is a Mother, but no one cares. Cooking and cleaning are the only responsibilities of a daughter-in-law. Just do it...
She was a professional girl with several qualities. The brilliance is getting blurred while walking from room to kitchen. Everyone is handling her life, what she can do, what she should do. She needs permission for everything. She is dealing with everything as she never wants her parents to know what a mentally abused girl looks like.
