Mother in law driving me mad.. HELP

Hi I'm new to mums net. Right, I have recently had a baby well she's 4 months old. My mother in law has nothing to do with her, she only lives a 10 minutes drive away, I currently do not drive. To make matters worse she doesn't have to work her partner is very well off so she has all the time in the world. She also told her daughter she cannot wait for her to have a baby as it will be different. Baring in mind that we have given her her first grandchild and she just makes no effort.
She has also told her daughter that she is going to a councillor because of me and that I'm giving her anxiety and I keep sending her Nasty messages all of which I haven't done. This all started because when I had just given birth after we came home I just wanted a few days as a new family of 3 just some us time without any visitors.
She also just came in one day without an invited and took my baby off me. Since her son (my other half) has told her that it really upset me, she's just lost all interest. I'm really bothered by it all and I'm dreading Christmas and I feel awful as it's our first Christmas in our new home and obviously with our beautiful daughter 😢

I would try and talk to her about it. If you want her to be part of baby’s life, tell her so and tell her how important it is to you. You should also tell her you have found her behaviour hurtful but that you want things to be right for the sake of the baby. Good luck!
