I am in a relationship that involves an abusive mother in law. From the exact day we got married has told me how fat I am (it started when I weighed 120 lbs. I now weigh 270 lbs), that my husband doesn't like me, actually paid for our divorce to get him back to her (he came back and we are married again), tells me I am a bad mother, says I am too religious, tells me how awful my family is, tells me she wants her son back, introduces him to other women right in front of me and the kids and doesn't even acknowledge me or the kids, told me two days before I had our fourth child that I was huge and said,"I forgot you were pregnant", has told me every pregnancy that I am burdening my husband (it does take two to get pregnant), blames me for my husband current job lay off (wouldn't be from the bad economy or anything), takes us out to dinner and takes two bites of her meal and tells me, "I can't believe you ate your entire meal, I am so full", took our son to Disneyland and fed him popcorn and water the entire two days while he was there and told me he needed to lose weight, bath that same son in dog water and told him it wouldn't hurt him, and the list goes on. The entire family hates me and I have literally only been around them about 5 times in the last 13 years of our marriage. One daughter in law actually asked her husband, "It is me or your mother" and he chose his mother. They are divorced now and my husbands brother has full cutody of the two kids. The brother in law in the family said just deal with it if you want to keep your kids. She thinks we are awful because we love to camp and fish and thinks my family is trailer trash because they are from Idaho. She is from California. She was born in Idaho, go figure. I need help! I feel no self worth and my husband says he supports me and has even written letters to the family and we confronted her about this a year ago. She denies everything and the family thinks I wrote the letter because my husband wouldn't treat his mother that way. They happened to just drop by our house in Utah all the way from California and never spoke to me. Just asked my husband if he is well and why he is out of work. Never asked how the kids are doing or I am doing. She did notice that I am pregnant and I told her yes. She asked me if I was done burdening her son and my husband just sat there. I want to leave, but my husband is a good and wonderful person. I love him dearly and I don't want the kids to ever have another dad or mother in their lives. They need their dad. What do I do? Please help!
