Idk what to think...

So I'm not exactly sure what is considered PPD but recently every little thing has been getting to me and I can't seem to stop crying when I'm alone and LO is sleeping.
My biggest problem is my MIL. She had gotten under my skin with everything she was trying to do while I was pregnant and now recently it has gotten worse. I can't stand anything she does with my little family. She makes me feel like I need her permission to do anything with my LO and I'm the mom. For example we had our LO christened a week ago and all she did was talk about how my family hogged her but yet they didn't even hold her because the baby was with her the whole time. I didn't even hold her because I feel like I have to ask her permission. I might just be letting little things get to me but its just every emotion I'm having lately just keeps coming out. I just don't know what to do or who to turn to to talk.

    I agree, because she's not my mom I have a problem being direct with her. So I really need my hubby to be the one to call her out and most importantly he needs to back me up whenever I do say something.

    I agree you should have your husband talk to her about it if you don't feel comfortable. I had so many issues with my MIL when I was pregnant/ my first child was born. My husband is not a confrontational person at all but it got to the point where things were so bad I finally said you need to man up and deal with your mother or there isn't going to be us any more because I couldn't live like that any longer. Now she's decided to hold grudges from that even though we are now on our third baby and chooses to not be around for her son and our children. In some ways it's better that way but in others it's difficult.
