My Husband's Parents Are a Threat to Our Child's Safety. But He Doesn't See the Problem.
Briefly

My husband was raised in a household with physical and emotional abuse. The severity of the abuse is unclear to me, but I know he was slapped in the face, called names, and screamed at by his mother, and I am fairly certain his father did worse. The abuse is not discussed in his family.
I have a feeling his mother will push for more time with our kid when they are born, and I think it's something we should know our boundaries on now. I personally have concerns with his mother being alone with our child given her history... Any time I bring this up, my husband gets very defensive and expresses concern that my mother would emotionally manipulate our child like she did with me.
