Help! i have an evil mother in law and sister in law!?

I just got married october 1st to the love of my life and I couldn't be happier. This all started when my mom and I went to my husband's sister soccer game. she's 25. Well, anyway my mom and I cheered her on and then after she was done she made fun of the shoes that I got my husban via e-mail to him. I thought that was kinda rude then took it as a brother and sister thing. Then on my brithday i recieve an e-mail from my sister in law saying how my mom is so emberrasing. Then another one how my mother in law wrote her son in law to talk to my husand and try and break us up. I kept it silent because her husband was in the hospital and I didn't want to make it stressful, but then after that they made it clear that they loved me and they did have doubts but they couldn't be more happier that i was joining the family. Then 3 days after we got married i got a phone call from my mother in law saying that i'm the worst thing that ever happend to him and that his sister is really not happy.HELP

Update:

And I really don't want to become in between a mother and a son, but everything I do ends up back in my lap like i'm the loon one. And i have been nothing, but nice and good to these people and i want to get them back! make those two realise how i feel.

Update 2:

we have moved they are in kentucky and we are in florida, but some how they enter my life like almost every day!

Update 3:

you are all so right this has to end and i have talked to my husband, but he is one who doesn't like conflict, but i think it's time he speaks up

    I think you should ignore their ignorance. You don't have to read their emails or be around them if they are treating you with disrespect. Your husband married you, not them. You are now his family and his wife. I just think that your mother-in-law and sister-in-law have their own issues and are not acting like adults, but acting like immature children. I also believe that your husband should go to his mom and tell her that she needs to not email you and send you messages if they are hurting you. He needs to stand up to his mom and sister if they are treating you badly. If he doesn't stand up to them, then you married a boy who is not ready to grow up and be a man.

    Sorry to say that, but it is true. Your husband should stick up for you. You come first in his life, not his mom or sister. You are his wife now and he needs to start being that husband you always wanted, not a little boy who is still stuck to his mommy.

    So, sit with your husband and tell him about what is happening. Tell him how you feel and just remain calm. Hopefully, he will go and talk to them both and be a man about it. And, the only thing you can be like when you are around them, is be polite, but you don't need to have them over your home if they are acting inappropriate with you. Now you know how evil these two can be with their behaviors and now is the time to stay away or do something about it.

    By the way, who cares if his sister is not happy. As long as you and your husband are, that's what counts. His sister and mother just have issues and they are going to be who they are until they wake up and see how evil they really are. It is not you who has problems, it is them. You hang in there and have a happy marriage.

    If ur husband is on ur side dont worry. If he is on their side then, all u have do is see that ur r relation with ur husband is good, very good. What ever might happen let them be nosy to the extreme but dont let that ruin ur relation with ur husband ok. Dont get bothered about them. As evil as they are pretty soon ur husband would realise the truth. Just be patient ok. Ur sister in law being happy has nothing to do with ur wedding. Its their move to make u feel miserable. When u show they have succeeded then they will weave their way around ur perfectly happy life and then drive u crazy. All u do is be patient and let nothing bother ur relation with ur husband and when they find out all their evil moves arent of any use they'll butt out soon. Take care and Good luck.

    my dear friend you must not let them bring you down for you have taken someone away that was dear to them you gain they lose and it will get better as time goes by and if not you married him and not them '

    they are jealous of you and that is why they resent the fact you are married in the family and if it gets really bad it is then time to have a talk to your new husband and tell him what you feel and how much they are hurting you and you dont know how to handle the remarks they make towards you

    show your hubby the emails they send you and most of all stay away from those who wants to hurt you and your husband for now you have a future family to build and love i wish yall the best in the happiness to come

    Have a good heart to heart talk with your husband. Explain to him how you feel and how much his family means to you. The most important person you need to please is your husband. Once that is ok, your in laws cannot influence him in any way but he'll support you and talk on your behalf to your in laws. Slowly build the relationship by meeting their desires to go into their good books. Dont worry too much, pray for them.

    You are lucky they are in another state. Have a discussion with your husband saying that you value your marriage above all else and for this reason you will let him handle all the contact with his family and you hope he will understand taht you do not want things to worsen so you will not be speaking with them anymore. Then do not answer the phone or talk with them anymore. Its that simple

    Your husband needs to address this problem. Not you. They wouldn't listen to you anyway, so no need to ruffle feathers and still not accomplish anything.

    Have a talk with your husband and let him know you are upset about the rudeness coming from his family. If he decides to not listen to the trash talk, then just hang up on them and don't read any emails from them. If he wants to confront them, then go for it.

    He has made a commitment to you. Now he needs to stand up to his family and be on your side.

    You need to talk to your husband and have him talk to his family and defend you. If he does not put them in their place, things are not likely going to get better for you. You are now his wife, I would think you come first, not any one else. Try to ignore your mother and sister in law. Dont keep quite to protect your husband, bring every thing out.

    It sounds like they have multiple personalities and you should kill them with kindness. After a while of that I'm sure they will get tired of causing drama. No one deserves to be treated that way and your husband should tell them something. You should also stand up for yourself if he chooses not to do so.

    Why should you care if his sister is happy or not, you don't need her permission to be married.

    Ignore your mother in law, and move if you have to.

    Jus tdo what I do with my dad: Don't talk to them. My dad was like that to me, and since I live with my mom, so I just don't talk to him anymore. I've been driven to that point. If you can, avoid it, but if they are sending you hate mail, block them. Block their numbers form your cell phone (see a phone book to learn how, in the front.). You don't deserve it. You just don't.
