Remain silent, truth doesn't always pay and one who cannot speak has no enemies.

Get her son to become your 'husband'. What is the bone of contention between you and your mom in law, your husband and her son. To win in marriage you have to have your husband on your side and if you can manage that then she has already lost. Always remember blood is thicker than water, so never explicitly criticize your mom in law in presence of your husband. Let him judge for himself and he will make the right choice.
