I am a successful college student, top of my class in mathematics, but I am unhappy with my life. I am married, commuting to the university(one hour drive) and I live literally right next to my in-laws. These people are quite different from myself and my spouse in that they are not communicative, but demanding. They are closed off but manipulative. I can't have a open conversation about boundaries and respect of privacy because they brush me off and laugh. My spouse pretends this is normal and I don't want to drive him from his family. I have one semester left. I hope to find work and move immediately after graduation. I'm struggling with depression, anxiety, and immense frustration. This is my first post on these forums, and I'm not sure that I'm looking for anything other than recognition that I'm not crazy for feeling so alone and drained.
