Beaux, if you are going to stick with him you just have to learn how to cope. You don't have to deal with his family. He does. Just build a silent fence where they are concerned. The only person in that family you need be concerned with is your husband. Until this latest flareup things seemed to be going OK. Try to get back there. There are reasons you are married to him. Think of them and look for the good.
There are lots of relationships where one partner is responsible and the other is not. I know. I am in one. It is platonic. It is burdensome and it is no fun, but I am slowly learning to cope after years of it. On the good side, he is ever so slowly learning social skills and how to relate to others. He doesn't lie much anymore and once in a while he laughs. That is music. And we are friends. That means a lot to me.
Hang in there. PM me if you think it will help to talk. I'm around here a lot.
