I agree that your partner should set the boundaries for his mom to back up. Also you should not give the mom alot of power by letting her get to you too much. Sometimes parents have probs letting go of their children and it can take time so partially entertain her (from a distance) but also be firm that she should not be offensive or rude to you. Good luck...

You don't. Your husband does. Or is supposed to. You need to tell your husband how you feel (gently though, she is his mother). Hopefully, he'll listen to you and speak to her.
