After Giving Birth, My Mother-in-Law Insisted on Recording Despite My Objections — Novel

About

Nina has just given birth, a moment that should be filled with joy and bonding—except her mother-in-law, Melanie, has turned it into a public spectacle. Instead of celebrating the new life, Melanie posts an embarrassing video of Nina's most vulnerable moment online, garnering unwanted attention and fueling the tension between them. As Nina grapples with the humiliation and invalidation, she realizes this is only the latest in a long line of conflicts that have tested her marriage and her sanity.

With her husband, Thomas, caught in the middle of their escalating feud, Nina feels increasingly isolated. How long can she endure the relentless pressure from a mother-in-law who insists on prioritizing tradition over her dignity? And with Thomas seemingly siding with his mother, will he ever understand the sacrifices Nina has made for their family?

As Nina begins to reclaim her voice, she must navigate a world where loyalty to family clashes with her right to self-respect. Will she find the strength to stand her ground, or will the weight of familial expectations continue to crush her spirit? The battle lines are drawn, but the stakes are higher than ever—what will it take for Nina to finally be heard?

After Giving Birth, My Mother-in-Law Insisted on Recording Despite My ObjectionsChapter 1

After my mother-in-law filmed an intimate video of me.

I nearly died giving birth.

I finally managed to recover some strength, only to find out she had posted that embarrassing video online.

She touted it as [A Great Mother.]

So, I decided to expose my husband's childish behavior of having his mother dress him at 30 years old.

After all, how can a mother who dresses her 30-year-old "baby" not be called great?

***

Just as I recovered from the pain of childbirth, I thought to check my phone for messages.

However, a recommended video popped up on my frequently used platform.

[Every Mother is Great.]

The familiar profile picture belonged to my mother-in-law, Melanie.

As soon as I entered, the number of likes reached 50,000, and the comment section was also very lively.

You should know that my mother-in-law usually gets at most a dozen likes, and they are all given by her relatives.

With a curious mindset, I clicked to play.

At first, it was just a scene of my mother-in-law waiting outside the operating room, but as the surgical light went out, I was pushed out and the camera got closer and closer to me.
