[quote=Anonymous]I'm the youngest and had similar issues with my mom and siblings -- throughout my childhood everyone ignored me, talked over me when I was speaking, I never had any input in family decisions. I was laughed at, teased and derided on a pretty consistent basis. I moved out in my early 20s; once I had a place of my own, I just didn't put up with that treatment anymore. When I visited my parents, if my mom or my siblings did anything that made me uncomfortable I would simply stand up, kiss everyone goodbye and leave. For a while they laughed at that too and it was a family joke, but after a year or so they actually started correcting each other -- "Wait, cut that comment short/don't do that, you know L will leave." Your DH has to be willing to stand up for himself in some way -- it doesn't have to be argumentative, but he needs to set boundaries. Unfortunately you can't do that for him. Kudos on being a supportive partner though :).[/quote]
