Question : Dear Sonya,

I had posted a question earlier but received no reply.

My problem is my in laws. They are very domineering but not rude and i am very mild and somebody who cannot stand for herself. My mother in law lives with us and she just doesn't bother about anybody but herself, does things she wants and she is very manipulative but not a bad person infact she is so nice and outgoing that people want to be nice and helpful to her.

My hunband thinks the world of her siblings (all 4 of them) and is always ready to help them. He is also avery loving and caring husband and father.

I have 10 year old daughter who is very much like me and gets pushed aroubnd by her cousins but does not mind it or realise it.

His sisters are laways making him run around for one thing or the other and the mother literally has my daughter and my husband on a string. My problem is inspite of repeatedly telling my inlaws that their ways are upsetting me they do not bother but continue in their set ways, and my MIL has blackmails my daughter emotionally by crying and telling all and sundry that i don't treat her well.

I am very short tempered and my daughter is very scared of my temper and i fel she has started hating me.

How do i handle these issues.


Ho
