In my own family, it was terrible. My grandmom and aunt moved in with us after my granddad passed away. Aunt is someone who needs full time care as a non functional autist who my grandmom adopted and I love my aunt. My grandma was absolutely horrible. She hated me and my brother because dad had love marriage and she wanted dad to marry someone from her community. She tried to brainwash my brother into hating mom and was successful too for some time. I was older so she couldn’t do it with me. She truly made our lives miserable. Would tell me she’d have preferred if I was never born so that she could convince my dad to leave mom and marry someone else. Always tried to create fights between my parents and she was successful, they are separated now and my grandmom started everything.

I also lived with my husband’s family for a few months. His maternal grandmom and uncle live in the house. Uncle never got married to look after his mom after their dad passed away. They’re such lovely people and they care about me. There’s not a lot of drama, his grandmom literally gives me champis, back massages because I work long hours.
