My Daughter-in-Law Called Me a Stranger, So I Took Everything Back

At the wedding, my daughter-in-law told the officiant to skip the part where she'd start calling me "Mom."

"I only recognize the woman who gave birth to me and raised me, so I won't be calling this stranger 'Mom.'"

"And from now on, your son and I are the family. You'll need to think of yourself as an outsider and stay out of our business."

I wanted to argue, but my son told me to let it go.

"She's just scared you'll turn into one of those monster mothers-in-law, so she's setting boundaries early. Do it for me, okay? Don't make a scene."
