I have been married for fifteen years and my relationship with my mother-in-law has gone from bad to worse. My husband makes excuses for her bad behavior. He is constantly telling me to be the bigger person. It has gotten to the point that he and my son go there for the holidays without me. I can't be around her for the sheer purpose of self-preservation at this point because my feelings have been hurt so many times now. She calls him at work now instead of at home and I can always tell because he comes home with a chip on his shoulder. If I say anything in defense of myself he tells me I am being a small person but yet he will come to her defense. Our son is adopted and she shows favortism to the other grandchildren also. She gets them more at Christmas and takes them on annual vacations without extending an invitation to my son. When I have tried to talk to my husband about it he just blows. He has never confronted her, even when he has caught her in lies. I need advice...
