She Got A Bill From Her MIL For ‘Raising Such A Wonderful Husband’ So Revenge Was Coming

That’s when Edward agreed with me.

“I won’t let her get away with this,” I told Edward. “This is just… absurd!”

Once we went to bed, Edward fell asleep in a few minutes, but I kept tossing and turning, thinking about how to get back at Laura in the best possible way.

I wanted to make her feel as terrible as she made me feel today.

How did she even think of asking me to pay her back for all that stuff? I thought. How did she even think she was emotionally supporting her children when all she did was yell at them?

The next morning, I woke up with a brilliant plan. After breakfast, I grabbed a notebook and started listing everything Laura had put me through.

Then, I made an itemized bill, just like the one she sent me. I even called my bank and asked them to send me a statement of the money I had spent in therapy during the last two years.

Here’s what my list looked like:

Listening to her criticize my cooking — $5,000

Smiling through backhanded compliments at family dinners — $8,000

Pretending not to notice when she “accidentally” forgets my birthday — $1,000

The therapy sessions after her constant interference in our marriage — $30,000

Teaching her son what a normal family looks like — $20,000

“Emotional support for dealing with her drama”— priceless

I made a fake invoice with an outstanding balance of $5,000 and mailed it to her. I even attached a short note with it for her reference. It said:

Dear Laura,

Here’s a list of all the things you put me through during the past two years. Since you enjoyed passing insulting comments and making me feel horrible, you might as well help me recover the costs.
