Not happy with my marriage
I m married for 5+ years. After 3 months of marriage I realised my father-in-law is doing emotional blackmail everytime to make his words happen.
He wants me to give my complete preference to them rather than my parents and give importance to his opinions even if it's small thing.
If we reject, he would create a drama blaming me , my upbringing,my parents and loose words.
My husband is ok with all this and ok of me being hurt at times but doesn't support me by taking my stand.
As a working mother of 2 years old boy , I feel quite frustrated now to go to my husband also.
If I express this , even my father says that it's your duty now to respect in-laws.
I m not disrespectful to anyone at any point.
I am thinking to go for divorce for my peace as anyways my presence is not valued.

Our social system, in many parts of the country, offers the type of family environment that you are living in. Patriarchy and male dominance are states of mind that are still prevalent despite all the progresses we have made. I feel that a positive outcome from your current situation can come only with a broader outlook on the problems between you and your husband. That requires a lot of communication between both of you. Under your situation, it is likely that constructive communication with your husband is drying up due to a lot of emotional causes. With this I would suggest you to consult a psychologist along with your husband and understand the ways both of you can handle the problem together. It is also likely that you may not get support for the idea of seeking outside help, from your husband or your relatives. Even if it is so, you may consult a psychologist on your own with which you may get a better picture of dealing with your issues more effectively.
Next Steps
Please seek guidance from a psychologist.

I can hear the immense frustration and emotional toll this situation has taken on you. It's challenging when expectations and emotional dynamics become overwhelming, especially within a family setting. It's important to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being.
Consider seeking the support of a marriage counselor or therapist to facilitate open communication with your husband. Express your feelings and concerns about the emotional pressure you're facing. Mind Sculpt, our counseling service, provides a safe space to explore and address these issues.
Divorce is a significant decision, and it's crucial to carefully weigh the options. Professional guidance can help you navigate this complex situation and explore potential resolutions.

I understand your state however would advice you to consult a psychologist and later your husband can be convinced to also discuss his point of view and seeking advice from the Psychologist.
Sometimes situations seem to be very challenging and one believes that there may not be any relief however by opening all communication channels and seeking and doing things differently may help to overcome these problems. Therefore an expert consultation is needed
