[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ Regarding insane people and children, schools and after-school activities have systems in place to forbid the release of students to anyone who is not on the parent's safe list. You can show them a photo of your ILs and their names, to prevent kidnapping.

New poster. This point occurred to me too. OP did mention just once that they have one child. Even in pandemic times, eventually, the child is going to be in school or in daycare or in some activity. OP, you and your husband MUST ensure that his parents do not know your child's movements or whereabouts and that people who run activities etc. know never to let the in-laws in or believe them if they claim they are allowed to drive your child home etc. I know a family where an aggressively "affectionate" relative kept turning up to volunteer at a child's school and at extracurricular activities too, until the parents did something -- not sure if they actually got a restraining order or just had some kind of serious intervention threatening a restraining order.

OP, don't contact the in-laws yourself. Your DH has already contacted them, right? I would tell your own parents that they need to support YOU by no longer accepting e-mails, texts and calls from them; have you been crystal clear with your own parents about the in-laws behavior? Your parents need to have your back here, and should NOT be pitying the in-laws or believing anything the in-laws tell them about you, your husband/their son, or your child's welfare etc.

Regarding the immediate issue, is there somewhere you can go with your child? I would either leave entirely or lock up tight. They might ambush you if you are out and then exit the car to enter your home. "Oh, you're going inside, we'll just come in with you!" It will be hard to fend them off if that happens. I'd really tell DH that until he is back home you and your child are going to a hotel (and I would insist he not tell anyone, even your own parents, what hotel that is).

You and he seriously should consider getting some outside advice, legal and maybe counseling, on how to cut them out of your lives and how to deal with your own family that seems to mean well but is actually helping the in-laws by acting as go-betweens.
