Stand Alone Narrative
Diabolic Mother In Law
Dear Stella and BVs,
I have a very big problem on my hands and don't know how to solve....Exposing what I know might break my marriage and cause big problems in the family.
My mother came to stay with me for Omugwo and ever since she arrived I noticed my baby looked somehow and was always crying......The kind of cry that would go on for hours without stopping....
I complained to my mum and she asked me to reactivate the CCTV camera just to be sure ...We did not suspect anything concerning her visit, my mum only asked me to put it on and maybe we might catch a ghost or so disturbing the baby. It was something we laughed about and i put it on.
Please note that we switched off the camera after a big quarrel between my hubby and I which had to do with accusations of being monitored in his own house....
We have been married for ten years and my mother in law is my husbands best friend...They actually look like siblings cos she birthed only him and did that when she was quite young.
Putting on the camera revealed my MIL doing some kind of incantations with my baby... I nearly died from the shock of seeing what she was doing.....
I have run away with my baby to my parents house with an excuse that is solid and don't plan to go back until I get explanations.

My mum says I should not confront her but how can I not? She has been asking my hubby if I said anything as to why I left the house....She is leaving soon and has been asking me to come back home so that she can spend the last few days with her grandchild.....I am still playing with words.....
My mum says I will not go but I am thinking of going alone to confront her with the evidence....Her relationship with her son will be broken and I will be blamed...
my hubby will be angry that i put on the camera to monitor the house again...
What do I do? I left out a lot of details out of fear.....You never know who might be reading...
What do I do? I left out a lot of details out of fear.....You never know who might be reading...
I forgot to add that we have been taking my baby for deliverance anytime we are in Church I saw so many missed calls from my hubbys mum...what does this mean?.
Ha!!!....Please ask her what she did to your child ooooh......Why is your hubby scared of you monitoring him? This kind of family you entered na wah..maybe he is also initiated and does not want you seeing him when he does his incantations..........Please ask the mother in law....Go there to ask her and please take your evidence with you and dont go alone ooooh.
Also note that your marriage may break up after this confrontation.
Don’t confront
ReplyDeleteSay nothing
Just keep your child till she leaves
Then go back home and turn off the camera till she returns
"Her relationship with her son will be broken", poster are you sure about this? What if he says it is nothing harmful? (I mean, he can say that). Abeg, do not go back till she returns back to her base. And be very prayerful o.
ReplyDeleteWhy are some Nigerians like this? You saw your mother in law making incantations on your baby and you are still playing with words. Download the CCTV VIDEO and go to the police if you are sure she won’t say she is praying.
ReplyDeleteDon’t ever go back to that house. When they kill your baby, they will turn to you.
Witches and wizards are very manipulative and they pretend to care. That’s their way of gaining trust.
So complicated!
ReplyDeleteAsking her would become a doom that might leave a deep scar for life.
You know them too well more than us . You should calculate properly before you take your next step.
Pls go and ask with evidence, there's no need to sugar coat words.
ReplyDeleteIf the marriage wants to end, so be it but make sure you you ask her for your baby's sake.
Confront her please, take your mum or siblings along, do it in the presence of your hubby.
ReplyDeleteYou need to be prayerful cus it seems you married into a diabolic family
Bring your mother, sister or an aunt back home with you. Sleep in the same room as your baby while your mil is there or you can insist that the baby sleeps in your room until she leaves.
ReplyDeleteDid you keep a backup of the recording? Without solid proof you will be attacked as a liar. I hope you have it stored somewhere. I do not think that their relationship will be broken, strained for a while maybe but based on what you have described never broken.
Your first priority as a mother is to protect your infant child. You owe nobody any explanation for the methods you use to ensure their protection. She has no right meddling with your child to the point that they are crying all day long. Do not fear anyone or anything when it comes to protecting your child. Return to your husband and bring your ppl with you. Always show that you have your own army. Folks like the fckry when they feel you have nobody in your corner.
That's how my mum cleaned the eyes of her grand child sil saw and asked why she put the tissue in her bag what does she want to use it for? The thing is some of you have untreated mental problem until you sort it out even fly can be a suspect
ReplyDeleteBut why did your mum put the tissue in her bag?
DeleteI put trash in my bag till I can get to a bin.
DeleteCan people stop marrying crazies please?
Your child’s life and future are of utmost importance. It is strongly advised that you do not confront your mother-in-law directly with the evidence. Instead, present the matter to your husband. You may explain that your decision to activate the CCTV was driven by concern and curiosity, and it has proven to be a necessary step.
ReplyDeleteWhatever actions your mother-in-law may be engaging in with your child could very well be the reason for the child’s persistent distress and crying. This situation should not be taken lightly. If your husband is understanding and prioritizes the wellbeing of his child, he will take the appropriate and immediate steps to address the issue responsibly.
I think you should confront her if you have clear evidence, and don't confront her alone, let your family members should be present when you're confronting her, so that if she has any evil intentions, she won't be able to carry it out, because she will know that all eyes are on her.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm🫢
ReplyDeleteWhich mumu marriage?
ReplyDeleteAre u not a mother?
You are to do anything to protect your child and u are still caring about a broken marriage, don't you even want to find out what she did to your child?
Poster,is this your first child with your husband,is there any problem between you two? Do you have other kids? Why does she wanna harm your child (her grand child)? What are the items she was using for the incarnation?
ReplyDeleteHmmm..this is a complicated situation.
ReplyDeletePoster please don't keep quiet because of your son's life and future. Don't confront her directly but talk to your hubby and show him evidence. Whatever he feels about you putting on the camera doesn't matter now. His response and reaction will tell if he's aware of what his mom is doing or not. Please keep your child away from that woman.
Please keep playing with words till she leaves. Don't confront her now, but keep the evidence.
ReplyDeleteWhenever she comes back again, install the camera and get more evidence. Then the peaceful confrontation will follow.
Be more prayerful. You should know this already.
Let your hubby ask her.
ReplyDeleteMarry a literate person. Children with gas can cry nonstop. Have you seen a pediatrician?
ReplyDeleteDo you speak your MIL s language? Could that be a lullaby? Did you ask her what she was saying?
That’s her grandchild the product of her only son, why would she harm the child?
Na waa o
Don't confront her please. Just make sure,she's no longer left alone with your baby.
ReplyDeleteMy late sister’s mother in law, asked her to bring her son’s singlet for her that since they married my sister he hasn’t been giving them money, my sister refused and called my family. Then we told her to leave the marriage she refused. That was how they tormented this girl till she died . In 2023 and the incident happened in 2014
ReplyDeleteSeek the guidance of your pastor or spiritual father before you confront her
ReplyDeleteIt’s possible your mother-in-law was just saying a simple prayer or singing a lullaby in a different language for the baby. Babies crying persistently is completely normal, and if you were worried, you could have taken your child to see a doctor. Instead, you chose to unfairly label your poor mother-in-law as diabolical. Honestly, that kind of thinking feels pretty narrow-minded.
ReplyDeleteIt could also be that her Mother in law is diabolical. These things do happen you know?
DeletePoster you are too soft. Na until them kpai youand your baby?
ReplyDeleteMother in law that raised her child who subsequently became your husband is what you are labelling chai! Did it cross your mind that she may have been placating the crying child by singing or praying in her native language for the child? Did it cross your mind that if something bad happened to her grandchild her son would also be affected by it and mama will by extension be sad too?
ReplyDeleteParanoia, undue suspicion and persecutory belief is obvious here.
Against your husband's better advice you put on the CCTV on his mother (disregard, distrust and disrespect, hope you will not protest when next you visit a friend /relative and they record you in their home).
Couldn't you have asked your husband for explanation if they have any cultural practice done to children by their grandparents so as to understand things better?
My late mum of blessed memory used to say "the victim of a theft commits more sin than the perpetrator because him/her would have accused several persons of the offence in their mind"
Indirectly the child has been kidnapped from even your husband in a bid to "protect ", depriving the dad from seeing the child.
Please take the child to a paediatric hospital for proper attention let them run test and identify the real cause why your baby cries often.
Stella please post
PCX.
In the olden days, young couples will invite their mum to attend to their newborn because they believe that their mother have loads of experience. Whatever concoction the mum suggested or applied to the newborn is accepted with gratitude. It doesn't mean mama is evil, on the contrary, often time the concoction is applied to wade off evil. If your husband has such a mindset, he maybe the person who may have started this process, take it up with him.
ReplyDeleteI sincerely hope your baby is fine now that you're at your mum's place. Wishing you and your baby all the best.
Poster i don't want to believe your mil could be diabolical to her grandchild. From your story it seems this is her only grandchild, do you think running away with your child to your family house can stop your mil from hurting your child?
ReplyDeleteIf she is truly evil as you described, you running away cannot stop her from getting to you and your child. She is worried over your action for leaving the house with your child without any fight with your husband. She must be feeling uncomfortable because of your actions. If you are in her shoes you will feel same way.
Please be careful of what you say about your mil especially to her son, her only son for that matter. She is a single mother who grew strong bond with her son over the year and that relationship is what is keeping her going. Please do not take away that relationship away from a single mother who has gone through hell to make sure her son is happy and he is who you married today because of her.
Lastly, have you had any cause to suspect your mil or husband since you got married to him? Have you prayed about what you saw and what did the lord reveal to you? If you have the footage of that cctv please share it with your pastor to be sure she is not praying for her grandchild. Is your child not crying at your mum's place at the moment? Take your child to the hospital to see a doctor and be sure the child is not sick. If your husband get to know about the cctv and your accusations are false this marriage is over, you will forever stay in regret. Look for Solomon's wisdom.
Hello Poster,
ReplyDeleteIt's easy for me to say your situation is both heartbreaking and unsettling, steeped in fear, faith, and uncertainty. But are you one of those who hear evil and see evil suspiciously in any given scenario?
It would have helped to know more about what you saw - how often it happened, or if it occurred at specific times - because your account sits on that thin line between instinct and misunderstanding. Though, it’s easy to see why you panicked; any mother would - that's a place every mother understands.
Yet sometimes, what seems diabolical might only be unfamiliar. A prayer whispered in another language or a lullaby said with gestures can appear sinister when filtered through fear - especially where there's no form of cordiality.
Before concluding it was evil, a calm innocent question or interference in one of those episodes - if it was becoming uncomfortably regular - might have brought light instead of anxiety. And it’s always wise to rule out medical causes before assuming spiritual ones; babies cry for many reasons.
Still, I can’t fault your reaction - only you know what you witnessed. Culture, faith, and emotion often collide in our homes, and when it comes to 'our' child, there’s no virtue in silence when safety is at stake. Protection must come before finding peace - which makes you human.
Even so, confrontation without clarity can do more harm than good. Keep your evidence and run it by your husband first. If his response shows anger instead of concern, that may reveal deeper issues in your marriage. Many families hide behind the idea of “unity” while ignoring inherent danger.
It’s good that you walked with your intuition. Just remember to sometimes verify before reacting. So as to also protect your peace from stories the mind may be too afraid to question.
Stay prayerful, stay smart, and surround yourself with strength. Some truths are better revealed slowly - not to save your marriage, but to safeguard yourself and the life you're nurturing.
A mother's intuition is always right. Your fear is valid but for how long will you keep running? even if you hide the child under rock,If she really wants to harm the child she will, confront your fears but be ready for whatever outcome you see, you need to be strong spiritually before embarking on such journey so they don't face you
