Got Scary In-laws?
by Jenna D. Barry
It’s that time of year when children– dressed as little witches or monsters– trot through neighborhoods gathering huge piles of delicious candy. I have fond childhood memories of Halloween, even though it can be somewhat of a frightening holiday for kids. Now that I’m an adult, what scares me is the high divorce rate. Difficult in-laws are one of the top reasons the divorce rate is so high; if you have in-law problems, then you probably have marriage problems.
In-laws are often stereotyped unfairly. Many, if not most, married couples have wonderful in-laws who treat them with kindness and respect. However, as indicated by countless posts from wives in my support group, it is not uncommon for in-laws to have such destructive behavior that it poses a real threat to marriages.
