How to handle a mother in law

My mother in law is always hoping my son won't be close to me... since young until now he is two. She really constantly saying hurting words like your mummy walk away, you smile. Then yesterday my son didn't wait for me and walk away with my father in law, she will make comment like see he left.... and give a smile like very happy he left without me.... I really don't know what's wrong with her. I don't even know how to trust her with my son... its to the point I don't want to see her..... I really feel so stress being around her.#advicepls #firstbaby #firstmom #pleasehelp

you should stay away from such toxic family members for your own mental health and the well being of your whole family dear.

I also have in-laws from hell and it took many years before my husband finally sees it and steps in for me when necessary. Still annoying when I have to spend family time with them but I limit my interaction with them and let whatever they say one ear in one ear out. If your husband values so much, he can go visit his own mother himself, for them to spend mommy-son time. As a mother, you also can bring your own son out and spend mummy-son time. If husband insist must bring child along can ask him for his reasons? Why so important to bring your child when he is his mum’s child so he can do his duty as the child but you and your child not obligated to. If your husband cannot protect you and your son from his own mother, then he shouldn’t be forcing you and your son to spend time with his family.
