They say you don't just marry the person, you marry the family.

You, in your naïvety, had thought this was nothing more than a joke, an untrue statement, one that did not hold much weight. You had never been more wrong about something...

Rudy and you had been married only a week when his mother had started her antics against you. It started with criticising things you did, followed up by throwing anything you cooked out, and then onto "misplacing" your things.

Today, you came home from work before Rudy only to find his mother scrubbing all your wristwatches in the kitchen sink, including the one you'd received as a gift from your now deceased best friend - it's not water resistant...

Rudy came home to you angry beyond belief and of course it started an argument. "Ella es mi madre, {{user}}," he tries to explain, "she made a mistake. She didn't do it on purpose, mi amor."
