I’ve been living with my family friends for 3 years now, 2 years back from now the dily has been hating on me, then liked me, then hated me, and now its been a year since, the thing is she thinks I’m dating “her husband”, which I’m not. And now she keeps swearing at me and she keeps threatening me in everyway she possibly can. I’m tired of this I really am, I tried talking to her husband but he told me to do what ever I can to act on that that’s how she is and he’s also tired of her… The thing is I need to do something that’s gonna hurt her for the rest of her life, something that’s gonna put her in her place… Please help me

I have a new sister in law that is apparently intimidated by me. She went bridezilla on sugardaddie profiles me at their wedding for no reason and then proceeded to yell at my mother in law, calling her a liar. This girl is using her new husband to fight all her battles. I publicly apologized for my so-called wrong doing accusation at the wedding (I still don’t know what I did…) via email and sent it to my brother in law (because that was the email address I had.) I was then in trouble for not sending it to her. I can’t win. And yet she has admitted no wrong doing or inappropriateness. She is an only child and spends most of her time with her parents. My brother in law came to see me and my husband by himself, when we were in town. She will only see my in laws if they’re going out to dinner and, of course, if I’m not there. This target on my back needs to come off. I hate what it’s doing to my husbands family but I feel like I’ve done everything I possibly can yet she hasn’t accepted any responsibility for her actions. I’m tired of her bullying….

This sounds so similar to my situation. My brother’s partner hates me and accuses me of all kinds of things. I have no idea where it comes from. My brother is fiercely defensive of her. It’s difficult when all the advice is to walk away from a bully- it’s difficult and seems impossible to walk away when they’re in your own family. I’m now heavily pregnant and she’s still doing it.
