Dear MIMsters: A Time Bomb Is Waiting to Explode in My Home

Good day every one in the house, please it is going to be a long post, kindly bear with me. I need advice on how to go about this situation. What is going on is like a time bomb, waiting to explode as the root of bitterness as sunk deep.

I am married with children. My mother in law, sister in law and mother in law’s nephew live with us. My mother in law has not been treating her nephew well and I sometimes tell my hubby to caution his mum which he always does but my mother in law will not just accept to change. My sister in law also joins her mum in maltreating the boy once in a while.

Yesterday while packing my children’s books, I came across my mother in law nephew’s diary and I jokingly said ‘so you have a diary.”

When I opened it, below was what he wrote in the diary:

“Dear diary, if you should just take a look at the world at large, it is very good and beautiful but it is very harsh to me because of those that I’m living with, for example, Mrs ****** (inserted my mum in law’s name).

“This woman ehhn, she can be good in church ooh, but when it is my turn, she always abuses me, she beats me a lot, she is very wicked. I want to tell you that I normally write some of my diary in proverb.

“There is no day she makes me happy. She just maltreats me anyhow and I’m a nobody to her to the extent that if a herbalist gives me a knife to kill her, I will not hesitate to kill her . I swear I do not like her at all. There is no good thing in this world that this woman can do to me that I will make me like even if she gives me my heart desires e.g bicycle and plenty of money, I will continue to hate her.

“Sometimes her children will say she should leave me alone but she won’t listen. Whenever she sees me doing something like reading my book or playing or sleeping, that is when she will send me an errands. All the errands she sends on are just disgusting. I HATE HER even though the Bible says that we should love our enemies but this woman I can never love her. I want her out of my life. She will be in church acting like a good person but she is so wicked.

“Can you imagine one day, she just came to disgrace me in front of my classmates that I nearly beat her. Before I was small, if she beats me I will tell her that I’m sorry, she will beat me the more but now am grown up, if they born am well make she come do rubbish, I will almost hold her neck.

“She is not the only one I hate, I hate her daughter too ****(mentions my sister in law). This woman, any time am offending her, she will beat me(one), (two), she will tell her children to beat me. ***** (mentions my hubby’s name) will talk to me and advice me, him he is so nice but when you do things that is very bad, he can beat you.
