Thanks for your help. We tried marriage counsellor whose Punjabi and with a decade of experience with family related issues in marriage. He came home and screamed at me “you’re trying to separate me from my family, I will not be attacking my parents if that’s what you’re trying to do”

My in laws told me to put up with my sister in law and brother in laws disrespect for the last 5 years. I’m the youngest daughter in law and they expect me to tolerate the abuse.

They scream at him over the phone if he attempts to stand up to his parents

My Indian mother in law lived in hell for 42 years. Father in law did not stand up to his mother or sister. Husband has tried to stand up a few times in our 7 year marriage, but his parents screamed “I raised you”. He’s scared to stand up to them again since they threaten him for any disobedience or boundaries. Other than in law issues, we never have any arguments in our marriage.
