Getting ready for a special dinner, I slipped into a dress I loved, feeling confident and excited. But as soon as my mother-in-law, Sandra, saw me, she couldn’t help herself.

With a disapproving look, she smirked and said, “Isn’t that dress too tight for you?” Her words were sharp, meant to wound, but I wasn’t about to let her ruin my night.
My reaction to her cruel remark would leave her in tears, but I wasn’t going to back down.
