Family calling me Jekyll and Hyde

I have been suffering with postnatal depression for about 10 months now. I am medicated and have been getting help professionally. I have got myself back to work and I feel I’m doing much better. I’m great with my baby but my issues are with myself. A lot of my concerns stem from my overbearing in-laws who have been too interfering and controlling since I got pregnant. I’ve tried to talk to them but they said they have 0 respect for me, they called me Jekyll and Hyde and have advised their son end out relationship. He is spineless and allowed them to call me these things. He can’t see how offensive and insulting it is to call me that. They know I have postnatal depression and I’m trying my hardest to get better. I’m being told it’s right to say that because that’s how I am. My partner is agreeing with them. Please someone am I right in thinking this is wrong and not supportive? I have read up on gas lighting and I feel like that’s what they are doing. Either that or I am going crazy 😢

It doesn't sound like you like your DP or you ILs very much @AmIJekyllandHyde
