[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all the replies.  DH is going to see his therapist to help him deal with this.  We have been super stressed since they asked for the money back and said some really mean things to us about it.  DH and I have had trouble sleeping and eating because of the stress.  I am actually on bed rest because of preterm labor and bleeding.  This last interaction has caused so much stress that I have been having contractions and spotting.

DH still feels bad for his mom.  Growing up, he and his mom supported each other through his Dad's abuse.  His dad constantly berates his mom, including calling her a whore for not being a virgin when they met and having had sex with blacks.  His mom feels that she can't leave him because he needs her now that his health has deteriorated.  She feels like she owes him because he helped her get out of a physically abusive relationship.  We suggested she go to counseling but she always refuses and because my FIL forbids it.  I told DH there is no way to help his mom unless she wants to be helped. [/quote]
