One Redditor recently posted a story about her family complexities on the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit. After her husband's passing three years ago, things took an unexpected turn with her in-laws, who seemed overly possessive about their son's belongings.
The woman explained that her in-laws had to sign a document when she had some legal issues. However, they stopped contacting her after finding that their names weren't listed as beneficiaries for any accounts the OP and her husband had.
Things got more tense when the OP started her new relationship. Her in-laws demanded that she return all the wedding jewelry she received at her wedding, and they claimed that the house she was living in was their son's.
