My husband and I stupidly bought a house with my mil a few years ago. I have told him I cannot do it and need a plan and he acts like he will do something about it but today I realized I don’t think he is. He has some money coming in the next few months so he told me that he will tell her to look for a place and give her money to help buy it, but then he threw some things at me today like I’ll never know how it feels to have a mom and she’s hitting a certain age. I’m so confused. I went throught a lot with both of them especially pregnant and postpartum and I just don’t want to share my everyday life with her at all. I want to be able to go outside in the backyard with my kids and not be forced to hang out with her too. I hate having to leave the house with my kids everyday because I don’t want to be here. My husband guilted me into this move and I feel like he started throwing the guilt in again right now. I love him very much and I actually do love his mother too I just can’t live with her any longer, I feel like my mental health is down the drain ever since we made this move and it’s not like she’s the type of person to let us be. She has taken over so many situations, talked about me, tries to take my son at whatever chance she gets. My husband put her feelings first when I had my baby. She would cry if she didn’t see him and didn’t care how I felt or how my day went all she cared about was coming and taking my baby any chance she got. And my husband is at fault because he didn’t say anything until damage was done and he still sticks up for her sometimes. I wish I could stay in this situation but I would rather leave and be single and broke but I’m also scared to not see my kids everyday. I need my kids with me. I feel so trapped.
