Mother-in-Law Shames Woman for Her Name, Her Mom Gets the Ultimate Revenge

Relationships among family members can be complicated, and in-law relationships, especially those between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, can be challenging to navigate. Most times, this relationship is tension-filled because it breeds a natural competition. However, in the case of the relationship between Jen Stevens and her mother-in-law, the strain was caused by several factors. From undermining her actions to insulting her name, her mother-in-law made being around her difficult, and Jen finally had to speak to her mom about it.

Meet Jen and Onyx

Jen Stevens and Onyx Solaris had been dating for five years and were very much in love. The couple lived in Berkeley, California, in an educational and residential community that was regarded as one of the best places to live in California. They lived in a cute apartment Jen's mom had helped them purchase.

Meet Jen and Onyx

Jen was an assistant lecturer in civil engineering at The University of California, Berkeley. Onyx was a ceramicist who had a beautiful studio where he made beautiful bowls, plates, and mugs.

Jen's Background

Like many couples, Jen and Onyx came from different backgrounds. Jen's family was a regular middle-class one. She had grown up in Boston surrounded by her family, who loved and supported her while instilling in her the importance of a solid education and a steady career.

Jen's Background

She focused on her studies and did well in school. However, her life didn't revolve purely around academics. Jen loved the outdoors and enjoyed being surrounded by nature. This love of nature brought her and Onyx together.

Onyx's Background

While Jen was open about her childhood, Onyx wasn't entirely open. He didn't speak much about his childhood and, from the little he said, Jen deduced that it had been the opposite of her own.

Onyx's Background

From what Onyx told her, he had been allowed to do whatever he wished without much adult supervision. He didn't start school until he was 12, and the importance of a good education wasn't drilled into him the way it was drilled into Jen. Jen knew there were some difficult times in his youth, but he never told her the details.

Just Married

After five years of dating, the couple decided to tie the knot. They were sure they loved each other and were eager to spend the rest of their lives together.

Just Married

The couple married by the coast with only close friends and family in attendance and went hiking in British Columbia for their honeymoon. They returned home elated and ready to start their lives as a married couple. If only Jen knew that her limits were about to be tested.
