[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for your input.

My husband's mother is very overbearing and narcissistic. When you tell her she has done something wrong, she will deny deny deny. She cannot do anything wrong and it always someone else's fault or it is a "misunderstanding." Or she will cry and play victim until the person confronting her feels bad and lets it go.

Her husband doesn't dare speak up to her, DH and SIL fall for every one of her tricks and get manipulated by her.

My husband HAS told her to be nice and inclusive to me. She tries, she gets me nice presents, gives me hugs but then also gets drunk and can't help but let her true feelings out which is that her son made a mistake by marrying me and that I am taking her son away etc etc. That I am not a good fit for him or a good partner etc etc

SIL is MIL's minion and is #teammommy and as such tries her best to ignore me and make  me feel like I don't belong. She always displays mean girl behavior by making sure none of their cousins like me etc

DH has told them to be nice and treat me kindly as "my wife is sensitive."

It seems to go in one ear and out the other.

We are going to a therapist who DH tells that he has done everything he can but that his family are difficult and won't listen. He also told her that he is intimated by his sister as she will freak out and get mean so he just lets her be.

Meanwhile she said that their behavior isn't DH's fault and I need to make peace with them and not take them so personally.
