That’s exactly what happened to a 26-year-old woman, who’s been married to her husband, Danny, for three years. Throughout their relationship, Danny’s mom has been a constant source of frustration, often manipulating her son with emotional guilt trips. But this time, the wife had enough and decided to confront both her husband and his mother.
