I really feel for you. That is such a difficult situation. I worry that you may be coming across as "strong" on the outside and not letting people know more of what you are going through inside. It sounds like you can talk to your T at least, which is good, but you really need to enlist your husband's help, particulary with his parents. Have you, or can you, talk to him about some of what you are going through inside. As lemonoaide says, husbands can be very dense, but I don't think any of us is psychic, so if you don't feel able to let him know, it's going to be difficult to get support in the house. The apparent rejection of your history by your ILs must also be very discouraging, but many people prefer to hide their head's in the sand than look squarely at such experiences. It must be very dissappointing to you, especially if you reached out to tell them. Again, it really would be good if your husband could help you here too. I don't know how your relationhip is, but if he's not willing or able to help, you might think about looking at some couple's therapy. You shouldn't have to shoulder this by yourself under any circumstances, let alone with your current health problems. I hope your T can give you something to work with to help you through this difficult period.
Try to make time for yourself, if necessary come up with "appointments" that you have to go to and get out of the house. Go to a movie, try to look after your own needs some.
Take good care.
