Not sure how to proceed with an ongoing situation which is growing bigger and bigger each day. My sister in law has been obsessed with my husband for years, actually telling family and complete strangers that it was my husband that she originally wanted to marry instead of his cousin (her current husband.) Thus, me being the woman who married her obsession I have been dragged through the coals for 1o years enduring humiliation and rejectoin from the community. My sisiter in law has made it her responsibility to fabricate outrageous stories about me and has not only told our circle of friends, family but she has now moved on to telling complete strangers in the community. One such rumor that has absolutely no merit is that I flew to France to receive in-vitro fertilizatoin to trap my husband. Their is no basis for this story and when I finally confronted her about this story she said that that she is justified is making up such an outrageous story because she does not like me. Another story she has told many people is that she dated my husband before me which again has no basis. And the list goes on. Our mutual friends, family and community members have been the ones over the past two years who have confided in me regarding my sister in laws obsesion with my husband and her visciousness towards me. One time she even followed me to my car in a public place with my two year old in my arms and proceeded to instigate a verbal fight with me. I told her that I would not discuss anything with her and that she was to contact my husband. I was even worried that she would pysically assault me. Friends and family have warned me that they fear she might physically assault me. All this because she she thinks I trapped my husband. I have been with my husband for 10 years and we have two children. This is outrageous. Enough is enough. We have been alienated from mutual friends because they fear an encounter might occur if they were to invite both parties to an event/function. Everyone says that they fear what She might do and they prefer to not tempt fate. I have a home based retail business and I work with several boutiques in the area and she has gone out of her way to visit these establishements and defame me. I know this because the establishements have confided in me of what derogatory lies she has been spreading. This is effecting our family tremendousley and the strain it has put on me in the community is unbearable. I have never spoken negatively of her. I find that however I have to constantly defend my self to friends, family and clients which is not professional.
Is there anything I can do to protect myself and to end this madness? Her husbands mother even intervened and asked her son to end his wifes doings to no avail. Help.
