What to do about bully of a sister in law?

Question - (8 June 2015) 13 Answers - (Newest, 13 June 2015)
A female Australia age 36-40, *eccamega writes:

Can't get away from her because she is living with my in laws.

She is verbally abusive, aggressive, lies and manipulates.

She's a spoilt adult who always gets her way.

My in laws never tell her offend always make excuses for her. I don't trust her at all. She tries to make me angry.

She makes personal insults and threatens to have my kid taken off me over very small things.

My daughter isn't abused nor neglected.

eyeswideopen agony auntI don't understand why you can't have your daughter back if you have legal custody. Call the cops to come with you and go pick her up. Your in laws can't stop this if you are her legal guardian.

As I said before I didn't yell at her, but she lied and said I did. My husband was at work and wasn't there. Ive never been diagnosed with Autism. Atleast I actually have empathy for other people.

CindyCares agony auntNow that you have your own place, can't you just get clean whatever it is that you have to clean and get your daughter ( of whom you have legal custody ) back from your in laws ??.

At the end of the day, who cares what the inlaws and SIL do or think or say once you have your independent family unit.

Of course until you continue accepting - or asking - help from people, whether it be money, food, babysitting etc.- people will tend to butt in and speak their mind whether it is appropriate or not ; that's just human nature , I guess. But , once you are on your own from all poinrs of view, you have much more leverage to make them ( politely and non-confrontationally, if possible ) stay out of your lofe.

Tisha-1 agony auntWhat did she lie about?

You say you yelled. Can you manage to communicate with people without yelling? Where is your husband in this?

Meccamega, you seem to wind up at odds with many people, based on your previous posts.

Are you on the Autism spectrum? There are posts you've made which suggest you get very fixated on things, to the extent that you ignore the other important things in your life. You were very concerned about some ex a while back, and that you were going to be made to be pregnant against yourr wishes. So you now have a baby and a troubled relationship with your husband's family.

Where is your husband in all this turmoil?

We have our own place, but my daughter has been living with my in laws. Because they made us move at the busiest time of the semester (tafe).

eyeswideopen agony auntOkay so I guess my best advice is to stay away from your sister in law as much as you can. Have the in laws come over if you want to visit but let them know that the sister is not invited and should stay home.

We are living in our own place now. But we were made to move out, at the busiest time my semester. So I haven't had time to get things clean for my daughter.

A female reader, eyeswideopen United States +, writes (8 June 2015):

eyeswideopen agony auntDo you live with your in laws as well? Or do you and your husband have your own place? Cause if it's the latter then just don't go over to the in laws and only invite them to your place and make it clear that you aren't including the sister in the invitation. Now if you live with them as well then your only options are to suck it up or, better yet, save up and move out.
