As many of you know I've moved recently. My husband, my 2 girls (4&5) and I are living in a small camping trailer on my in-laws property. I'm not able to cook much or shower in the trailer, we go inside the house for that. Sometimes my MIL will lock me out of the house and say I can't come in. She gets mad at me for things that I didnt do. I take a lot of crap. When it comes to my girls I draw the line. I won't let them near the family members who smoke while smoking. If someone is watching Inappropate tv, the girls are taken out of the house. The house is very small, maybe 800 sq ft. I got in trouble yesterday for taking my girls out when she was watching "American Wedding". I don't want to cause problems. I know I'm staying at their house until our house closes (3 more weeks). I need to feel settled. Before I moved here we lived with my parents while my husband finished school and I worked. I desperately need my own space and house again. I can't tell any of my friends and family about the frustrations I'm feeling here. They think I was wrong to move, and should divorce my husband so I can live closer to my family. I know I'm rambling. I feel so lonely. I have NO friends here. I hate living with my in-laws. There I said it. I feel a little better. - Mrs.mouse

Oh, that's a lot to handle! I think that you are so brave and strong for doing all of this. Obviously, you shouldn't divorce your husband because he found a job and is providing for your family: you have to support him. And he supports you, I'm sure. These sacrifices you're making right now are paving the way to a better future for your family, and the payoff will be huge: security, your own home, and financial gain. Just think: in only a few short weeks, you will have your own space! Honestly, you guys are doing a lot better than many other young couples. Adventure's out there! You can get through these next few weeks :) We are here to help you out! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 436.3 #285 10:05PM
Wow, that sounds really tough. But I'm sure you'll feel much better after you move to your own house. I'd say just keep thinking about that to make yourself feel better. And ask your husband if he has some advice for dealing with your in-laws. Stay strong! Good luck! - TamiPoppins 39.7 #4007 1:17AM

Poor thing. I'm sorry you have to deal with this. Stay strong and keep your rules that you have for your girls. Divorcing your husband is obviously not the solution although I think you should be open and honest with him about how much it's bothering you. In the mean time, just hang in there! Before you know it you will be out of there. - Curlygirl94
