My partner and I are expecting twins and she's 16 weeks, it's tough because I feel like a verbal punching bag and I can't do anything right, I appreciate there are hormones at play but it's getting worse and worse, my mother doesn't like my partner and it's getting to her, she can't stop insulting her, calling her names and taking everything she says as negative, because I ask her to stop with the names this means I don't "give her emotional support" I'm being told to f off back to hers and that she is better off without me and she doesn't need me.. I don't expect these two to be best of friends but I don't know how to deal with the situation that's just getting worse by the day, my mum is a midwife and whenever she gives us any 'advise' my partner takes this as a personal attack and starts attacking back, she won't let anyone say a bad word about her family but for me and my mum it's open season 24/7, I feel so frustrated, angry and helpless I'm trying to keep a lid on my emotions but I'm finding it so hard... does anyone have any words of wisdom...
