I need to get this off my chest....

So I don't know anyone I can talk to about this, because no one is taking me seriously. So I need to get it off my chest.

My mother-in-law hates me. Maybe its because of the fact I am the second wife of my man, and she resents the fact I am not Natalie (his first wife).

Maybe its the fact there is a fair age gap between us. (8 years).

Maybe its because I'm not pregnant.

But she hates me with a passion. At her house, I offered to help with making dinner, she accepted. Fve minutes in, she told me I was doing it wrong, called me a 'failure at being a wife' and told me to not bother trying to help again. The next day? Screamed at me for never offering to help.
She belittles me for have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from childhood abuse, and says I am weak for not wanting forgiving the man who beat me.

She told my husband's cousin that none of his friends like me, and that the whole family hate me (I have met only his siblings, and I actually talk to his friends regularly and they seem to quite like me). She calls me a user on a regular basis, and since we moved interstate to begin a life on our own together, she has ousted him from the family. She didn't tell him his niece was born (found out from his brother's friend's sister on Facebook), and didn't bother to call or text him for Christmas, his birthday or the New Year.

My own mother said, "Oh I am sure its not that bad!"
.....Clearly, it is.

Any advice from someone who has been in a similar situation? Or just someone who can tell me if I am just over-reacting by being offended? Though to be honest, I highly doubt I am....
