Why can’t we just get along? Sometimes, it seems like a lot of family conflicts are unprovoked, a direct result of our own insecurities and projections, and could easily be avoided.
At least that’s what happened to Deanna from New Jersey, the United States, when her future mother-in-law went dress shopping for her wedding.
Instead of choosing something universally appropriate, she picked a laced gown and when Deanna’s fiancé—the lady’s son—saw it, he immediately knew there was a problem. But when the groom told his mom she couldn’t wear it, she insisted it was “pink.”
