H was never extremely close with his family until he decided he was so unhappy with his marriage. I was the one that always took care of the gift giving, etc. Now it seems it's like we have an extra person in our marriage, MIL, she does no wrong and is up on a pedesstal. My DDs and I on the other hand seem to do no right. I just don't understand why he finds such fault with them. I of course can understand him finding fault with me because he is anxious to discard our marriage, but discard his children also?

Funny thing I never tell him "well, Dad said this and that". Believe me,my dad finds plenty of fault with him right now, but not once have I repeated it to him. My dad tried for the longest to leave it up to me, but has recently had a hard time not voicing his opinions to me, but not everyone else! H has even asked at times what my dad says. I just reply he just stays out of it and supports me. For the longest time that was the truth.

It appears that H is hiding behing MIL's apron. He needs her to confirm that DDs and I are wrong. Sad, but true. I can understand the confrontation with me, but my DDs, that's crazy.
