My husbands mother hates me, and would do anything to try and get my husband mad at me, which is annoying but it doesnt bother him since he doesnt think what she is saying is worth anything. So he never gets mad or anything at me, it only makes him despise her more. This has been an ongoing thing for almost 2 years, we have been married a little over one year, I tried my best to make her like me, but she sees me as a threat, coming in and taking her son away, when its her whos pushing him away, I know my husband only wants us to get along, but that will never happen, we ignore eachother, how am i supposed to stay in this marriage or in this house with this woman looming around? we are only here with her temporarily (hopefully) I just want an end to it, and he just wants us to get along. How do I deal with this?

Practise Equanimity.

 

You know how a lighthouse, on a clear, balmy summer's day, with a clear view of the horizon, and a limpid, clear, almost glass-like sea, is just standing there, solid, immovable and constant?

 

And you know how a lighthouse, on a turbulent, stormy, dark, thunderous winter's day, with zero visibility, and a sea that is churning ferociously, and foaming white for miles, is just standing there, immovable and constant?

 

That's equanimity.

To be immovable and constant, no matter what is going on around you.
