[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I tried to talk to my husband about sticking up for me when SIL is being rude and he said he isn't getting involved in drama and closed the door to play video games. :cry: [/quote]

Well if you have no support then I think you can excuse yourself from situations with her.  I would have no problem staying home and letting him take the kids.  He and his parents can deal with her bitterness.

If not, just a simple “ Laura, I know you don’t like me and I just choose not to engage on that level with you. I’m John’s wife and we’re all just going to have to accept that. In the end, your backhanded comments say more about you than they do of me so I won’t engage in pettiness with you.”[/quote]
Are you for real? Do you really think a jerk is going to engage in this sort of conversation?
Commmmeere on! You are going to get OP to be an even bigger Target.
But I have dealt with family bullies like this and I am much more to the point. They no longer engage me. His family is afraid of that girl and willling to sacrifice OP.
 The first thing she needs to do is get to marriage counseling. If my DH refused to defend my being insulted and berated…. He would be in therapy or divorce court… his choice. [/quote]
