So my MIL told me and my husband that she would be remodeling the inside of her house. Since we live with her she asked us if we can stay in the garage so that they can also redo the bedroom that we occupy. Me and my husband both agreed, we have 3 dogs and we told her that we would have them with us in the garage which she agreed with. But then she mentioned about leaving them outside in the backyard when the remodeling is finished because she didn't want our dogs to damage the flooring. Now they have never peed or pooped outside they are really well house-trained. I told my MIL that I didn't feel comfortable having them outside 24/7 due to the fact that my BIL (brother in law) has threatened in the past to kill my dogs. I just thought that by us having the dogs outside that he would do something to them. She proceeded to say that I was stuck in the past and that I should forget about it and move on. I got upset and said that a death threat isn't something you can just simply brush under the rug. Well I shouldn't have said that because she started to say that recently she has noticed that I avoid her and I always act hostile. I told her "well maybe I'm avoiding you because I'm trying to avoid any other problems especially because last time we had this same conversation you told me I was provoking people" she then says I was crazy and I was making it up even though my husband was there when she said it. When my husband confronts her then she says that I am dominating him and that I have filled his head with ideas to go against his family. My husband then says "no, I'm choosing to cut contact with you because of how you have acted towards us". She proceeded to say that that was another idea that I fed into his head. I told her that I felt like she could've done more in certain situations involving my BIL making threats towards me and she said she never heard him make threats even though she was there every time. What set me to my booking point was when she said "well I pray to God he doesnt give u any children" that set me off. I told her that I wanted her away from me ASAP that when I'm out of here I don't want her trying to contact me or her showing up to my house because there will be consequences. I told her it was disgusting that she wanted to use God's name to wish bad upon someone and told her "I know you wish me harm but I just pray to God he helps you and that he helps you react before it's too late. You are pushing your son away and even having your own son tell you this you don't react. So I pray to God that he helps you. And I don't wish you any harm because I wasn't raised to wish harm on anyone. " I felt like I was going crazy. My husband reassured me that it was his mom that was being irate and childish. Am I wrong for standing up to my MIL the way I did? Am I actually dominating my husband for pointing out the toxic traits his family have and toxic behavior they have towards him?
