Dealing with grief after losing a partner is hard, and it can be especially hard to move on. After the death of her husband, our reader Donna found love again and is now expecting her first child. Things have gotten more complicated for her, though. Donna lives in a house that belongs to her in-laws, and they don’t like her plans to bring her new partner into their home. So that we can help her with this problem, the pregnant woman has come to us.

Letter from Donna:

“When we got married, my in-laws let us live in their second home.” Soon after, my husband got sick and died before we could have children. I was able to stay with my in-laws because they supported me.

I found love again after four years and am now pregnant. My boyfriend will move in because he doesn’t own a place. My mother-in-law, on the other hand, thinks I’m making fun of her son. “Bringing another man there is an insult to my son!” she said it out loud. I need to leave, she says. My husband’s dad was quiet.

I was shocked to find a big box of my clothes on the porch yesterday. Someone called me from a number I don’t know and said that my husband’s father has put the house on the market. She told me I have one month to get the rest of my stuff together and leave.

I’m shocked and angry. Was I supposed to stay a widow forever just so I could have a place to live?
