- My6yo Lily cries each time she sees myMIL, while she adores mymother. Last weekend, myMIL unexpectedly offered tobabysit for our date night. Lily started toshiver and said, “NO! Don’t leave mewith her!” But wedid.
When wegot back, Iwalked inand nearly fainted whenI saw mychild standing there with tear-streaked cheeks and asorrowful expression... Idiscovered that her long, beautiful locks were completely gone. She now had ablunt short bob.
MyMIL had cut her hair without myconsent and clearly against Lily’s will. Itfelt like adeliberate, spiteful act— perhaps born ofjealousy over the close bond Lily shares with mymother, aconnection often nurtured through hair-braiding, styling, and gentle play. MyMIL must have wanted tosever that link entirely.
Now Ican’t help but wonder: how long has she been unkind tomydaughter behind our backs? Itwould certainly explain Lily’s ongoing fear and her refusal toever beleft alone with her.
