MIL/SIL Family drama. Long rant...

So when I was 16 weeks pregnant my husband and I couldn't handle his control freak mother anymore. It was so bad that my husband who already fights depression daily tried to kill himself. He asked for space and they seemed to understand. Well his sister kept calling and he went ahead and answered because she had nothing to do with the situation and she was worried. Well MIL became jealous and started blowing up his phone, texting, emailing, and even showed up to our house and sat in our driveway until we were forced to come out and confront her. She asked him once if he was OK then proceeded to make the situation about her and invite herself over for later on in the day. My husband told her maybe because we had plans. Well I had had enough of her never caring about his feelings and sent her a very length not so nice email. Of course it was all my fault blah blah. This woman tried to make my husband choose between us and my husband finally had enough and chose me and our unborn child.

Well fast forward a couple months my sister in law and I convinced my husband to call his mother because the baby shower was coming up (he didn't want to inviter her btw) and out of respect I told him we would invite her on one condition. She had to stop with the mean jabs at me and the insults (something i had been dealing with a year before i even because pregnant). He agreed. The first phone call was just small talk about our daughter to warm up for the next phone call where he was going to tell her how he felt and that we all needed to sit down and work this out. We'll before we could I got a nasty letter and birthday card in the mail from her. So he emailed her enough was enough when she apologized to me we would come around again. Until then he was tired of the drama and I always come first. Until she gives me an apology there will be no contact.

Well jump the be being 32 weeks pregnant 2 days before the baby shower. His sister promised to buy an expensive gift and to come and not choose sides. Well she now tells us she isn't coming, she will be down the next weekend and we can have our own little celebration, and blah blah. It hurt my husband deeply and I couldn't do a thing to fix it. Well the next weekend comes and not a word from his sister. It's Saturday and he shoots a text telling her we are having a BBQ the next day to just come over. She then tells him that it's her son's birthday that day and she is spending the day with his parents for his birthday party. We had no clue. We could have gotten him a gift! Well come to find out she still hasn't got a gift for the baby shower like she promised even asking, days before she was supposed to be in town, exactly what we needed. Once again my husband was crushed. She, her husband, and little boy when home Monday and never said a word to us. It's all because they don't like me and because he chose me over his mom. I never wanted it ever come down to choosing. It's so stupid. Our baby is due in 6 and a half weeks and his family is nothing but drama. Oh and when his mom found out about him inviting his sister over for the BBQ she sent my hubby a nasty email. It's all so pathetic. His sister pretended not to take sides just to feed his mother information to gossip about to the family.

His mother has turned everyone against her son, made up lies about us, and twisted the story so much that we look and sound like the crazy ones.

I just needed to vent. I'm going crazy and keeping myself up at night worried about what all this is going to do to my husband. Every time he becomes himself again his mother or another family member sets him back again. I'm so tired of worrying about his sanity but no one else does. His mother has manipulated and tore him down so much all his life his psychiatrist has advised him to stay FAR away from his family.

Ugh rant over just had to get it all out.
