Today, I stood up to my in-laws and this is how it went

I've never posted in this sub before but I felt the need to do so today. Maybe to just vent a bit, maybe in the hopes of receiving some feedback.<br><br>I'm 24 years old and married to my high school sweetheart, we have a one and a half year old son. We have been together for seven years now and during these seven years, I've been battling with my in-laws.<br><br>They are the most toxic people I've ever met and I really don't even know where to start. From the moment I met them, they have been pushing me to be the perfect daughter in law, to fit into their expectations.<br><br>Long story short, I am not the kind of person to let other people walk all over me. I have stood up to them every time they tried to make me feel bad or used me. My husband has always had my back in these situations.<br><br>Flash forward to today: my husband and I are going on a vacation this Saturday, just the three of us. My son, my husband and myself. My in-laws found out and told us that they have never gone on vacation with my husband when he was a child and that they have always expected us to take them with us whenever we go somewhere, to make up for it. They even called us selfish for leaving them behind and told us we owed it to them to take them with us because of this reason.<br><br>Today, my husband and I were at their place because my MIL had asked my husband to come to their place because she had gotten a new coffee machine and she needed him to carry it upstairs for her. I tagged along with our son because we were in the neighborhood and I didn't want to leave at home alone for almost an hour.<br><br>While we were there, they began their usual complaining about us. About how my BIL and I ruined their lives, how they have taken care of us when we were younger and that we owed it to them to take care of them now.<br><br>They started again on the vacation thing and while my husband was trying to explain that they could not come with us because we have planned this trip for the three of us, I had had enough. I interrupted him and told them that they did not deserve to go on vacation with us. They have never treated us fairly, they have never been the parents my husband deserved.<br><br>I told them they could not guilt trip us into doing things for them anymore. That they could not force us into doing something we didn't want to do and then call us selfish for not doing it.<br><br>My MIL tried to interrupt but I talked over her. I told them they had been horrible parents to both my husband and my BIL. I told them that they could not expect us to take them on vacations, to do favours for them when they had never done the same for us.<br><br>Then, I took my son's hand and told my husband let's go. All three of us left their place and I texted my husband later, telling him how proud I am of him for standing up to them. He agreed that I did the right thing and he is glad I stood up for him.<br><br>My MIL called me later, yelling at me for talking to them like that. I told her again that we would not take her with us on vacation. In the end, I won. I stood my ground and I could see the anger in her eyes.<br><br>Now, I am terrified. I am positive they will get their revenge. They always do. And I am worried about what they will do. I know my husband will stand by me though, no matter what.
