Am I wrong about this?
My father in law refuses to have anything to do with myself or his grandson. He is a mean person, and he lives in a roach infested shack. Those things aside, I am willing to extend the hand of friendship toward him. However, he still says bad things about me behind my back for no apparent reason.
My husband has not discussed this with him, and my husband still talks to him, and pretends like everything is ok. Is it wrong of me to ask my husband to cut ties with him for treating me this way? My husband says that I am trying to control him, but I just feel hurt that he would tolerate his family treating me this way.

Ask your husband who he is married to and would he like it if the roles were reversed??

Cutting ties might be a little harsh but he should not tolerate this treatment of you or his child. He should not act like it is all right and he should voice his opinion about it. If the FIL will not stop then yes he should not see him.

Evidently your husband thinks more of his father’s feelings than he does of your own. He must not see or hear the harshness you describe. If your father-in-law is as mean and filthy as you describe, you should be very pleased that he does not want anything to do with you and your baby. I would count my blessings if I were you. I would also encourage you to try to get your husband to agree to move away from this horrible sounding father-in-law.
