Hi everyone, this is my very first post. I joined this platform out of pure desperation and to have a support group.

Currently, my issue goes so far back so I will have to sum it up in fewer words. My in-laws before I was married used to treat me horribly like I wasn't good enough for their son and have said pretty nasty things about me. Luckily we all moved on and apologies were made so 10 years later, now their son and I are married but went through financial difficulties that resulted in his parents having to move in with us and help with our bills after they retired. I am having such a hard time because his mother has always been so loving but sometimes she says things that hit way way below the belt and she makes person al attacks on my anxiety when I try to defend myself in my own home. This has turned into resentment for my husband because I feel like he made bad financial choices (which we are working through together now) that caused me to live in this nightmare with his parents. They bought another place but they are too far away now so they feel like they have to stay long periods to get the most out of it and it feels like they only leave for a few days and then stay weeks and weeks with us. My husband and I have tried talking to them about this to no avail and my once positive chipper self has turned into a bitter depressed miserable person and our intimate time together is non-existent and I'm becoming more and more angry every day they are here which always causing me stress and inability to think straight trying to raise my baby and go to grad school. I'm sure there are worse situations to be in but I really don't know how to manage my emotions when his parents stay with us. Any advice would be very helpful. Also, if anyone currently is dealing with depression that has family issues and knows the physical struggle of confrontation and just wanting to hide away from people all day and not being able to, that would also be helpful because my situation is really affecting my depression and I want to confront them and tell them to leave but it's our only family where we live and I'm trying not to push anyone away for my son's sake and husband's.
