Family is supposed to be a place of safety, love, and support. But when your
in-laws are controlling, manipulative, critical, or toxic
, family gatherings, holidays, and even daily interactions can feel like emotional minefields. Maybe you've been
gaslighted, belittled, or undermined
. Maybe you've felt drained, anxious, or guilty for simply existing around them. If this is your reality,
you are not alone - and it's not your fault.
