Family Issues…..?

Question by deselst: Family Issues…..?
If this was your situation how would you respond?
I’ve already made my decision on how to handle it, but I would like to know how others would have handled the situation…

My mother hates my husband, and has been trying to break us up since we announced our engagement. She has spread rumors to everyone in my family that my husband is abusive to me and our 3 kids, which for some reason everyone believed.

My ex-sister in law was trying to get info from me for her custody battle against my brother, he is an alcoholic and takes drugs, so my husband gave her all the info that he knew, a couple days later I get a call from his present wife asking me why I told his ex a bunch of lies. Later my husband spoke with her, and apparently my mother told my brother that I said something I didn’t and that’s what fueled the whole fight.

I now have his ex sending me emails saying that I need to leave my husband and that she’ll help me escape the so called “abuse”. What would you do?
First off I would like to add that my husband has never raised a hand to me or our children. And the family has been told several times that all that she is saying about my husband is a lie, I have confronted her as well and told her that she needs to stop, or I will cut her out of our lives. They have all been warned that if they proceed to further harass me or my family that we will seek legal action, physical threats have been made against me and my husband for doing nothing more than arguing with my mother.

id tell mom to stop making the rumors. your a big girl, and you dont need mom acting like shes 2 years old (no offense) my great great grandma did that to my grandma and my great great aunt a long time ago, and there was some weird rivalry over it. i dont know why she did, but once grandma and auntie found out what was going on, our family became united with their family. so from what i can see, you gotta talk to your mom, and need to let everyone in on the truth
