We all probably know that children spending time with theirgrandparentsis beneficial for both sides.
But this is only applicable when the grandparents can be trusted with children.
The grandma in todays story isnt one of those.
Well, at least in her daughter-in-laws eyes.
Her mistrust was heightened when during a trip, her mother-in-law requested to keep her and her daughters passports.
The whole visit took 10 days.
Taking your passport along with you anywhere you go in Croatia isnt such a terrible idea.
There, law enforcement have the authority to conduct randomidentification checks.
For them, it is advisable for people to have identification documents.
Yet, the OP suspected that the reason why her MIL asked for these passports wasnt this.
Why did she ask only for her and her daughters passports, but not her husbands?
Thats when the woman started connecting the dots.
Her theory was that the mother-in-law was planning her granddaughters abduction!
Here, forexample, in 2021, a couple kidnapped their grandchild in Sacramento and took him to Peru.
The child was returned to his parents only after 13 months.
And so, maybe now she wanted to have a redo with her granddaughter.
As proof of that, the author recalled instances when herhusbandsmom didnt want to give her back her daughter.
Already a suspicious act in itself, isnt it?
Well, adding it to her suspicious request about the passports, all of it seemed too unsettling.
So, its no surprise the woman refused to give them to her.
Her head was filled with ideas of what could happen if she did.
Yes, itsillegalto ruin someones official government record passport.
If it was true that the mother-in-law was set on abducting her granddaughter, would this stop her?
So, its crystal clear that the OP doesnt trust her mother-in-law.
And not giving her the passports wasnt the only measure the woman took.
She also didnt plan to let her baby be alone with grandma.
Maybe it would harm theirmutual bond, but it ensured the girls safety.
Basically, the woman wants to keep her daughter at arms reach at all times.
All these steps seemed normal to people on the internet.
Just like the OP, they found the MILs request suspicious.
So, peeps urged the woman to not give in to such weird demands and toprotectherself and her daughter.
Additionally, a few pointed out the difficulties of the womansmarriage.
They were shocked that the husband seemingly brushed off his moms behavior.
As they said, theres a bigger picture.
But even that bigger picture doesnt seem so bright, since it probably features a non-working marriage.
At this point, we cannot be sure what the truth is here.
Is the OPs marriage really on the brink of divorce?
Is the grandmother really planning to abduct her granddaughter?
Still, it doesnt make this one less dramatic, scary, and sad at the same time.
