[quote=Anonymous]You need to make a big effort to assert yourself and be ready to threaten divorce and go through with it. Really.

1. Seek counseling, alone if DH refuses to go.

2. Change your behavior with your loser of a husband in order to discuss this issue: stand up straight, make eye contact, speak clearly, firmly but courteously. Never get emotional, whether it's tears or yelling - everyone just sees that as being weak!
You need the cold calculating arguments of a lawyer.

3. Tell your husband that you have lived in hell for too long, and that from now on the game is changing. That he has to be on your team, even if it means confronting his mother. Go ahead and threaten divorce. Make him choose. Tell him that all plans involving himself, you and DC have to be okayed with you first. That you require half of your joint vacation time for your own family, on their important dates. That your home is your castle and you both have to accept letting someone else in.

4. Stop caring about MIL - the more effort you make, the less she will respect you. Just wipe her out of your mind.

Consult a divorce attorney, too. Just stop this crap already.[/quote]
