Instead, she handed me a list of 25 luxury gifts to buy for her; one for each year she \u201cinvested\u201d in raising Jake. Now I\u2019m questioning what kind of family I\u2019m really marrying into\u2026 and how far she\u2019ll go.You know that feeling when someone\u2019s being nice to you, but every instinct in your body is screaming \u201cdanger\u201d?A thoughtful woman | Source: Pexels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s exactly how I felt when Jake\u2019s mom called me three weeks before our wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jake and I had been together for almost three years and engaged for six months. His family seemed normal and nice enough, even though his mom, Linda, still called him her baby boy and cut his steak for him at barbeques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I chalked it up to her being overprotective and just decided to do my best to get along with her.A man holding a cell phone | Source: Pexels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could hear Linda\u2019s voice on the other end, defending herself with that same calm tone she\u2019d used with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf she can\u2019t honor the years I spent raising you, maybe she doesn\u2019t value family,\u201d she repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jake hung up looking like he\u2019d been punched in the stomach. \u201cI\u2019m so sorry.

I really did. How na\u00efve of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two weeks later, we were at Jake\u2019s cousin\u2019s engagement party. Nice restaurant, lots of family, champagne toasts all around.

That\u2019s when I realized we\u2019d crossed from ridiculous into toxic territory, and something had to change. Publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linda\u2019s birthday was coming up in a week, and she\u2019d been dropping not-so-subtle hints about which gift from the list I\u2019d be choosing first.
