Is it stupid to divorce your husband because of your mil

I have been having issues with mil ever since I gave birth. The situation has not changed and my baby is 15 months. I just don’t feel my husband is supportive. My mil keeps telling everyone that she cares about me and wants to help. But if she wants to help, why would she say things like I walk away, baby smiles… then complain my maternity is 6 months so baby sticks to me. Also, once she has hold of baby, if baby finds me she will not pass him back. She acts victim and cries in front of the family saying don’t know why I don’t like her… I am so stressed by the whole situation. And anything to do with baby, she will say me. If baby has tummy pain, she will ask me what I eat cause I am breastfeeding. Baby don’t want to eat she will ask me what I cook… I feel like she is blaming me for everything. Baby makes a bit of noise she will ask me to pass to her.., I feel like I am such a lousy mum or what..: I am literally having depression.#advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby #helps

I understand how you feel. My mil loves playing victim too. Make herself sound the best and the most pathetic and make it sound like everyone else is the difficult one who bullies her. If you’re still living with her, I suggest you and your husband move out to a rental flat first while waiting for your own flat (if you’ve applied). Yes, will be a financial burden but better than having your mental health compromised. And try speaking to your husband again and let him understand the seriousness. All the best ❤️
