Sometimes, we come across family members who just can’t bear to see anything happen in our life. They can be spiteful over the stupidest things, and it’s best to ignore them, but when they keep pushing things, they’re going to get burned eventually, right?
The same thing happened to this toxic sister-in-law who kept nagging the sick original poster (OP) about how husbands tend to leave their sick wives due to their illness. However, her epic comeback left her in tears, but sparked more family drama. Read on to find out what she actually said to her!

She burst into tears, but now, the poster is facing backlash from the whole family, who didn’t say a word when she was being taunted
In today’s story, Reddit user Anonymousred1958 is caught in a conundrum, wondering if what she said to her sister-in-law is unfair. The thing is, our main lady has a medical condition, and her husband is her primary caregiver. The fellow does everything, right from household chores to looking after her, and he’s also the sole breadwinner.
However, her sister-in-law just can’t bear this, for she keeps taunting OP that men tend to leave their sick wives because of their illness. In fact, the insensitive woman even started bombarding her with the statistics. It’s true that men are 6 times more likely to leave their wives when serious illness strikes, but, folks, is there really a need to remind her of this?
Seems quite unnecessary to me, when OP is already going through a lot. It has been observed that coping with a serious illness can be quite distressing, and this is just like rubbing salt on an open wound. Research also suggests that being a caregiver for a sick partner is very challenging in a relationship, and the couple might be facing these challenges already.
Considering all these circumstances, when none other than your own family keeps adding fuel to the fire, how is a person expected to just let it slide quietly? Even OP exploded one fine day, when her sister-in-law brought up the topic. The poster retorted that she should rather check the stats of men who leave their wives who are infertile !

Well, all hell broke loose after that because the woman burst into tears, and OP’s brother got super mad at her as she knew that his wife couldn’t have kids. Now, the couple is demanding an apology from the poster, while her mom and husband feel that she shouldn’t have escalated the situation. Probably feeling confused, she vented online, and netizens came to her rescue!
They assured her that her reaction was perfectly justified because of all the vicious things that the woman said to her. After all, it’s literally indecent to add to a person’s pain when you know that they are already suffering. Besides, she also tried to sow doubts about her husband and asked about changes in his behavior and checking his phone, which was all taking things too far.
It’s essential to have boundaries with your family so you can maintain your sanity, but this woman just crossed them all, and there was no excuse for her behavior. Netizens also called her mom and brother hypocrites for getting mad at OP. They barely batted an eyelid while the sister-in-law kept nagging her, but immediately rose to action when she clapped back once.
Folks said that the poster had only done what the sister-in-law was doing to her, and her family’s silence then was very surprising
