Let me start with this, I am seeking counseling because of the fact that I am now becoming severely depressed and I now lock myself in my room and/or bathroom and cry. I am also almost 35 weeks pregnant. My mother in law has been living with us since November of 2015. When she came to live with us my tenants and their two kids were with us as well. Around April my tenants moved out so now it's been my mother in law, my stepson, my husband and I living in the house. Ever since my tenants moved out I was starting to sense a change in mine and my mother in laws relationship and I could sense that it wasn't good. Fast forward. Ever since then, my stepson has been acting out because he feels like he doesn't have to respect me with her there. It's now beginning to feel like she runs the house and now that she makes the rules and I am wrong 110% of the time for setting boundaries. My mother in law tells my husband and tried to guilt trip him by saying "well it's seeming like she calls the shots and what she says goes" Now. I have lived with her before and I lived underneath her roof and respected her rules because it was her house. Also it's now like every time I want to speak to my husband privately without her over hearing she is calling them secret meeting and she is making it seem like everything goes down when we have them. Example: My niece is staying with us because they were evicted from their apartment and my husband wanted to start painting the nursery because the whole set up has been delayed because of this sitiation. My niece has been sleeping in that room and I had no problems with it. So when my husband asked if it was fine if she slept on the couch and my mother in law took it the wrong way she said well she thought it was because I said something or what ever. I also know own it's because of my other in law now that I have been and am being accused of abusing my stepson by my sister in law who has threatened me and my stepson's mother has done the same. When my sister in law came while accusing me of abusing my stepson mentioned that if I expected my mother in law to watch the baby (my mother in law was sitting right there and did not deny it) that she doesn't know if she will feel comfortable watching my daughter. So today I would say around 3 pm I brought it up and I said that I apologise if I made her feel uncomfortable for assuming that she would be watching my daughter when I went back to work. I also said that because of what my sister in law said we did kind of discuss it as well and that see that if we needed to find other forms of child care if she ho estate felt that way. I was trying to give her an olive branch of some sort because she always complain s we do the communicate to her well that I don't and I am honestly trying. I was also trying to show her that I was considering how she felt. These types of situations are always happening and it now taking its toll. And now it's currently 3:44 am and she waited til my husband came home to turn it into a full blown argument and has said hateful things to me and I can't take this anymore. I am so stressed out and I've been bawling my eyes out and I am being called a child because I am crying and I am literally at my breaking point at this moment. I'm sorry that this is long but I need some support and I don't have a lot of friends because I am always working and I feel so unappreciated and so unwanted and I am being constantly attacked and I just don't know why.
