Very, very difficult. I agree with fallsfall that your family is lucky to have you. And I agree with you that it stinks that something so difficult has to be more difficult because it resonates with earlier bad experiences in your life. It's great that you can see what's going on. I'm sure it'll help you be more supportive to the people who need you. Although I know it is still so painful for you.
I wish you much luck in dealing with this as gracefully as you can. I think it's a good idea to focus on your husband, and what he needs in all of this. If you can stay in tune with him, then the two of you may be able to figure out together how best to help his parents. And that struggle may help your marriage as well.
Not that I know what's going on, really. If I'm totally off the mark, please don't take offense. I'm kind of imagining my own husband and in laws, who share some issues with yours.
