The best way is to treat the people in the same manner which they behave with you but as you have told that you are cowardly lady and I think your husband is depended on his father and coward too. So, there are many options to tackle but tell me how much qualification you have ? In which country / area you live ? But telling you honestly your husband took some steps else one day you'll be killed by those harsh ladies ..... Don't you have any kids ????
