*AITA for telling my husband that I don't give a shit if he's depressed that I won't let our baby meet his family?*

I've been with my husband for 9 years and I came in to the relationship with a 1yo son (now 10). Up until last summer we were very involved with my husband's family but that changed after my husband's BIL slapped my son across the face and the entire family defended BIL. So, what happened was my son was standing at the sink getting water and when he turned around, he slammed in to BIL, who was standing directly behind him. BIL had just had surgery on his back a few weeks prior so my son running in to him tweaked his back and he immediately struck my son in the face as an "impulse reaction" and made no effort to apologize. In fact, he doubled down and told my son to watch what he was doing next time and joked that he was lucky it wasn't worse ("I wanted to punch you so you're lucky it was just a slap"). My son was not only hurt by the smack but also extremely embarrassed and went out to the car to cry. I lost my shit entirely, so did my husband. I was pregnant during this time and I told my husband at this point that his whole family was dead to me and they were NOT meeting our baby. At that time, he agreed with me. We have our baby 2 months ago and I've stood my ground. His family is not meeting our baby. His entire family sided with BIL smacking my son across the face and they have no business being around my 10yo OR my newborn. They can all get fucked (they have reached out several times expecting us to apologize for causing a scene and have told us to get over BIL smacking my son and again, no apologies have been made). But my husband's been acting super weird for like 2 weeks. Barely speaking to me. Barely texting me when he's at work like he usually does, etc. I finally asked him what was wrong and he gets pissed off and says rather defensively "you've written off my entire fucking family but I'm expected to smile and play nice to your family" (we have literally seen my family once since having the baby). I reminded him of our agreement and now he's back peddling saying "YOU made that decision, not me!" After turning the whole thing on me and making out like I was wrong and repeatedly saying he didn't care how I felt about it because right now it's about how he feels, he said that I'm making him depressed. At which point I said I didn't give a fuck if it was making him depressed and his family wasn't meeting the baby. He says I'm an AH for disregarding his "valid" feelings. ETA: the police were called when it happened. They actually called the cops on my husband because when he flipped out, he "intimidated" them. So a report was made and we did file trying to get BIL charged for smacking my son but ultimately the cops did nothing because by the time they showed up (45 minutes later) there was no visible mark on my son's face anymore. submitted by /u/Longjumping_Mail_266 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]
