why do you need drink buddies?

I come from a conservative background where I practically had no freedom until I turned 21 and left home. But because my parents we very strict I ended up getting into a bad relationship which took me quite some time to get out of. I took long enough to heal and be ready for another relationship. I met this guy, felt that he's the right one and married him. Thankfully he did not turn out to be an asshole. But his mom is whole new character I find very difficult to tolerate. It's like she's constantly trying to find faults in me, she's very insecure and thinks about herself all the time! I never feel comfortable around her and my gut instinct is to avoid her completely. I trust my gut, she isn't a good person. I feel I've developed anxiety issues because of the drama that's been happening. I'm at that stage in life where I'm mature enough to understand what to do, it's not like I'm unhappy, I'm not super happy and living the life of my dreams either. I don't know whether to be thankful that hey atleast I'm not with an abuser, or should I punch everyone's face because they piss me off. So yeah, I need a drink right now.
