sheikh,I wish I didn’t have to complain about my in laws. It’s unethical I know. How do I deal with my mum & sis in law… they keep calling my mother up, spreading outragous lies about me at the say so of my psychopath husband. All of my in laws are terrified of him especially his mother by her own admission. They made the relationship between me & my mum turbulent. Advice?
