MIL getting difficult to handle..plz help !!!

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum.Have read many cases earlier and found them getting solved here.So i want to tell you the problem im facing with my mil.plz give me suggestions on how to tackle with her.I got married in Dec 2011 and then went to U.S after my marriage.Those 4 -5 months were golden period of my life but after coming back to india my life has been ruined by mil.I brought lots of gifts for her but she never appreciated.I am originally from delhi but due to husband's job im living in banglore.I didnt even know how to handle household chores before marriage but today im handling everything on my own but my mil never praises me & always keeps on comparing me with herself.whenever i go to delhi she always give me lectures to respect her and my fil by giving her own examples that how she used to respect her in laws.She never likes me going to my mom's home.She stops talking to me during that period of my stay or just become rude while talking over phone.She always keeps an eye on my things like whenver i get a new handbag or footwear or just any simple kurti she demands it that she wants the similar one or just mine only.Unfortunately our size is same so she always tells me that she can wear my jeans or kurtis.Last week she went to some wedding and there she wore my saree which my mom gave to me on my wedding without even telling me.I saw her picture pasted on facebook n from there i could see.I was unable to control my temper that she wore my saree without asking me ?She never talks to me directly but always complains my husband that shes always loving towards me but i hv to adjust and takes him into her confidence.I never ever spoke anything in front of her.Once she came to banglore to visit us and again started her lecture on how to respect in laws.and moreover she told me indirectly against my mother that " some girls are very gud but their dear moms spoil them and take away the boy from his parents and let his parents go to hell "My mom has been very respectful towards her everytime but still i think she hates my mom.My mil & fil once even complained to my mom in very rude manner that their son has spent a lot on me in U.S still we never use to say him anything that hes spending lot and blamed me in front of my mom a lot for so many stupid thins which were just irrelevant ..unfortunately i wasnt there and my husband was in banglore.i got to know it from my mom and they told her not to tell it to me or my husband either about their talk.shes using my clothes without my permission and doing all such nonsense things and i just dont know how to talk to her on all this.she didnt even give me any almorah to keep my clothes.they are lying in delhi ins uitcases and those too in her room.she ha seasy access to all of my things.because of her me and my husband use to have excess fights ever since we came back to india.her relatives are also bigtime problem.they keep on interfering in our personal matters.this all was just a glimpse of her nature.plz guide me how should i handle her?i dont want any differences between me and my husband because of her.

 

thanks a lot everyone for ur suggestions..feeling bit relaxed after sharing with u guys..my DH was always supportive but now he dont want to listen against his mother..when i told him about the saree thing he didnt talk at first but then i made him realize that his mother did really wrong so he was little bit convinced but still taking his mom's side saying " its hard for her to admit her mistake,see its not easy " !and if i talk on that topic he always say that i take stress for such little issues.I belong to a punjabi family and last month i was in delhi for my "chooda Vadhai" but my mil didnt give me any gold bangles of mine to me not even those which my mom gave to me ..now im wearing artificial bangles and all my jewellery is with her and everytime i have to take her permission to wear my jewellery,i dont feel comfortable asking her everytime for my own stuff.my DH dont want to see all this,he just ignores these things.

Regarding writing comment on FB,its seriously gud but that FB account is of my brother in law and he posted his mom's pic ,i dont know if my mil will get to know if i post any comment for her.
