• Narcissistic mother in law

A month after marriage, at my mother in law's insistence my husband asked me quit my job at an MNC presumably to study further at his hometown. I was living with my parents in a city a few hours away. When I got to their house, my mother in law started dropping hints to me and also my parents that they did not have a house and they had not asked for "anything" at the time of marriage. She was taking care of a neighbor's child supposedly without any financial benefit. That family's convenience dictated our household routine. My mother in law persuaded her to leave for her work related trips abroad. She also moved to that house at the neighbor's insistence. Even though I told her to reconsider she said I was not required to give my opinion. In the meantime, my husband and I planned to take his parents to go to my relatives home in another city. She wanted to take the neighbors too. When she found that my husband booked tickets only for the four of us, she called my mother and created a fuss that lasted 4 days. She never spoke to me normally after that. Even though I saw or heard nothing, I noticed both my husband and his mother's attitude change. She would keep talking about buying a house but nothing else. She would speak normally in his presence. 6 months later when I came to visit my parents, he and I went on a tour. I suffered a fracture and was at my parents home for a month. In the meantime, she created issues between me and my husband saying me and my family did not love the neighbor and her child loyally. No amount of clarification was enough to make her understand the absurdity. My husband supported his mother. His mother continues to slander me and my family in public and among our relatives.
I came to know that he had heavy financial liabilities just after marriage. His mother kept insisting that I get it settled and relieve him from the time we got marriaed. I had transferred my savings and also taken money from my parents when he had been facing a cash crunch.
During my time there I came to know that she uses black magic to harm people even her own relatives. My husband and father in law both have mentioned separately that she is extremely vengeful. She has herself claimed that. For over a year she has been cold and unresponsive to my calls. She continues creating issues between me and my husband.
Even though I want to continue this relationship, his mother tells people her son needs a divorce. My husband has also turned against me. He says we can't continue our marriage unless we live with his mother. What can I do?
