@Girlyfriendcollecting to grow a thick skin you need to start learning to stand up for yourself. Once you start standing up for yourself, you will feel stronger.

@Girlyfriendcollecting whenever she criticises you tell her to stop being so negative it’s draining!

First, decide who you are. Who you wish to be. Say it to the mirror. Everyday. Positive things.
Second, stop them from saying bad words to you. Don't let them get away. If it's your house, then all the more they should be careful to not offend.
Don't tolerate a toxic behavior (not even in the name of family) in your presence. Call them out and let them reflect on their own behavior.
Real family don't let you be offended without doing anything. If people let others get away with treating you bad, something is wrong.
If they are unhappy with their life, then they should work on it. But if she wants to be in your presence, be brave enough to defend yourself and tell them their behavior and words are unacceptable. The door is open and they can go out.
I'm saying it nicely. But in layman's term, learn to kick ass of bullies.

@Girlyfriendcollecting What a terrible situation. Since you don't need her as a babysitter as you and your husband have different shifts, can you tell her she has to leave? She has no right being so dominant in your own house. I would tell her this is not working, you're going to have to find another place to live, because this really cannot continue for your own sake. You shouldn't suffer because of her. But then that's a terrible situation anyway because you do need her to watch the kids so that your husband can get some sleep when he gets home from work. Is there any way you can afford a babysitter? This woman has to stop.

@jshm2 yea her only son died. She had three marriges and divorced each one of them, she does hate any man that becomes her husband because she then has crazy high standards for them she thinks a husband should treat his wife like a queen.
