LOVED BY HIM, LOATHED BY HIS MOTHER.

Loved by Him, Loathed by His Mother is a bold, emotionally raw memoir by Sadio Sow that dives deep into the unspoken tension many women face: loving a man whose mother sees you as a threat.

Told with gripping honesty, wit and clarity, this is the story of one woman’s journey through love, resentment, motherhood and ultimately—self-preservation. From the butterflies of early romance to navigating passive-aggressive wars, religious guilt, emotional manipulation and unsolicited parenting critiques, Sadio pulls back the curtain on what it means to choose peace in the face of family dysfunction.

This book isn’t just about a difficult mother-in-law. It’s about women who are vilified for taking up space, men learning to break generational cycles, and the power of boundaries as a form of healing.

At its core, Loved by Him, Loathed by His Mother is a love letter to anyone who’s had to choose their sanity over societal expectations—and did so unapologetically.
