iam married for 10yrs with an 9 yr old son.my husband has a travelling job with odd working hours.i live in a so called joint family where people live like enemies.my MIL along with my SIL and her husband leave no opportunity to humiliate me.my MIL openly creates a difference between the 2 sons,we daughterinlaws and even our children.i dont like to put even more stress on my husband by telling him the day to day misbehaviour of his family.all this has lowered my self esteem,i feel exhausted most of the time.i tried to get a job but could not manage to for some or the other reasons.i want to be independent and a confident person but iam just not able to get out of this state of mind especailly of the treatment iam gettin.pl. help me a replied. i think a job would be a key. but if no job, then try helping your son and his friends with school work, that way you'd have other peopel you'd interact iwht. maybe you can have a little social circle with the other parents, neighbors. even with little money, i would try to live in a one room place if i had to. good lluck. Ann replied. Why don't you try to improve your relation with your s-i-l. But if, it doesn't work, then start behaving the same way like your m-i-l and s-i-l do to you. If this doesn't even works, then take a decision and tell your husband that you can't live in joint family, you need to move out. If your husband don't want to move out, then take a decison and ask him to choose you and your son or his \";so called\"; family.
