Dear Mother-in-law and Father-in-law,

I’m sorry that your daughter fell in love with me and that I fell in love with her,

I’m sorry that we got married ‘not exactly’ with all your blessings since the distance between the 2 cities was far,
I’m sorry that my day started by cuddling her on waking up and in her arms before sleeping,
I’m sorry that not a day passed when I left home for work every morning without kissing her,
I’m sorry that I made your daughter feel like it is still her honeymoon even months after marriage,
I’m sorry that I never left her hand whenever we went for morning walks together,
I’m sorry that I loved to play with her hair, hug her from behind when she was getting ready,
I’m sorry that I always wanted her to look the prettiest whenever we went out,
I’m sorry that I would search in every corner of the store for the perfect dress for her whenever we went shopping,
I’m sorry that I took leaves from work to accompany her for every job interview of hers,
I’m sorry that I would make sure I was never late to pick her up from her workplace,
I’m sorry that she was so chirpy that she wrote in a note that she is living her dream life and had never been so happy,
I’m sorry that she was so cheerful that her friends and relatives noticed the glow on her face after marriage,
I’m sorry that I frequently took her to dinner, movies, parties and social functions,
I’m sorry that I wanted to give her every luxury possible and support her to make all her dreams come true,
I’m sorry that I took care of her every need, made her feel safe and secured,
I’m sorry that I fulfilled her every need for recreation like cycling, swimming, carom, cards, movies etc,
I’m sorry that I loved your daughter more than myself,
I’m sorry that I used to secretly pray to God every day that our relationship only got better,

But what hurt me was the way you made sure we parted ways and never left us alone for your own ego,

What hurt me was the way your micromanagement in our lives continued daily on the phone,
What hurt me were your secret taunts and abuses against me and my family,
What hurt me was that you never talked positively about your loving son-in-law and always saw him as an enemy,
What hurt me was you took it personally when I reduced interacting much with an abusive-feminist mother-in-law,
What hurt me was that you did not even try to give a second chance to sort out any differences,
What hurt me were baseless allegations and false legal cases against my family without any rationale thoughts,
What hurt me are the irreparable damages that you have caused to ruin the love between ‘us’,

Yes, you have finally won now that we are separated after your slow poison to successfully brainwash your daughter,
Yes, you have finally won now that your daughter is back home and she is not really a liability on you,

Yes, you have finally won now that your daughter will live a more independent life and we’ll soon be divorced.

But is this your real victory? From the way I see it, you ruined many lives for your own selfishness and ego satisfaction. I can only hope that God forgives you for your sins.
