I relate to the issues you have with your inlaws and your husband. Many people (myself included) who have GAD and other anxiety disorders have distortions in the way we process incoming data. We make assumptions about ourselves and others, overmagnify a situation until it becomes larger than life and then find ourselves in a sticky situation (a hastily fired off email to the inlaws). Your diagnosis and the meds you take are between you and your doctor. To fight back and get your own life back, I recommend, "Feeling Good - The New Mood Therapy".
You have at least 1,000 different ways in which to manage the controlling inlaws without it affecting your sense of well-being.
Stay in touch,
