Harassment by Mother in Law, threatens to kill herself
please give me some guidance. Putting down the various happenings in my home. Kindly advise the way forward and how i should tackle this situation:
1. My Mother in law does not let me enter the kitchen to make food for myself and my husband.
My husband is completely with me and i have all his support.
2. She has consumed sleeping pills, threatened to kill herself(more than 5 times now) , has been hospitalized as well after consuming pills, Reason:She wants the house to be transferred in her name. And after doing so she has told my husband that i will "phasao" you and your wife and you will be held responsible. She thinks we are scared of her due to this reason.
3. She is not letting my house maids clean my room, wash my clothes.
4. She has demanded small jewellery i received as gifts from my husbands relatives. She says it belongs to her and she has been abusive for the same reason with me when i did not budge.
5. She uses the most filthy language possible. My father in law cannot do anything because she makes an ugly scene at the drop of a hat and he feels helpless. She has broken things in the house before and been violent.
6. Suprisingly, when my husband went to the police to get help(when she consumed sleeping pills and tried to wrongly blame us), the cops told him that "Be careful, tumko kaaam pe laga degi".
7. My husband and i are self sufficient and have no reason to ask her/father in law for a single penny. We are just being harassed and this is going on since 2 years now. We have been keeping quiet for a long time and do not talk to her at all from 2 years. She has complete support of my sister in law who keeps calling me "cheap" at every instant.
Please advice me the way forward.

We cannot afford to move out.
The flat is in my father in laws name.
She is the nominee after him.
Can she trouble us after his death with regard to the house? Can she get us evicted after him if she is a nominee only?
All we want is a live and let live attitude and I'm quite surprised that I'm being told that she can falsely implicate my husband incase something happens.
Us keeping quiet probably gives her more strength.
I am very uncomfortable and afraid of being around her but sadly we cannot move out.
Please rightly guide me as I feel something needs to be done against this evil person. Talking is of no use with her as she is an abusive person and will do anything for her selfish motives.
