Oh dear Emma im sorry to hear your situation. Do hope you calm down. After all she is your husbands mum. Take a step back and chill out. Have you applied for you flat, so that at least you know there is something coming on the way? Also why not speak with your husband and tell him how hurt you are. That may help. Otherwise, it would be good to speak with your MiL too. It's going to be hard living together in one roof if its so tensed.

do not ever trust your inlaws as you dont know what they can teach. 4years of my life wasted having kids and suffering with my inlaws. To add salt to the wound, they just annouce partial lockdown. My kids barely stick to me when my mil is home. Theres no way one can advise another to be patient in regards to inlaws issues.

MILs are generally hard to deal with. But you should never lose it with her. Try to control your temper for your husband's sake. If you keep arguing with her, your husband will be stuck between 2 walls. It might affect your relationship with your husband also.

Move out. MIL in general ( 90%) can't detach from their sons. Constantly want to compete with DIL, and talk down to their sons to show that they are the empress in the house.

thanks
