Giving ultimatums is never a good idea. Stupid, stupid advice. |
OP you know what you need to do. You need to tell your DH how you feel and that you need him in your corner. Period. If he can't meet that need, you suggest counseling. Go yourself even the first few times to show him you are serious. Then if he doesn't go, and doesn't change, you'll need to see if you are willing to sacrifice your marriage. |
OP, there is no reasoning with people like this. If you are forced to endure their presence, the only way is to make them fear you. Sample lines would be:
"If you speak to me like this one more time, you will never see your grandchild again." Escalating: "If you speak to me like this, I will teach your granddaughter to hate you." |
