What to expect

Break unhealthy patterns, set boundaries, and resolve conflicts with your mother-in-law, for a stronger marriage and a happier life

You don't just marry your spouse, you marry their family - and dealing with your in-laws isn't always easy. Women in particular often find themselves trapped in a toxic cycle with their mothers-in-law, doomed to feel like either a victim or a villain no matter what they do. In this indispensable resource, clinical psychologist and couples therapist Dr Tracy Dalgleish helps women step outside the victim/villain binary and forge a healthy relationship with their mother-in-law that aligns with and prioritizes their marriage and overall well-being. Using Dr Tracy's tried-and-true, five-step VAULT method, readers will learn the type of MIL they have, help develop mutual respect for boundaries, and most of all, feel like they're on the same team, with their partner and with the larger family. Reclaim your power, strengthen your relationship, and solve your in-law problems once and for all with You, Your Husband, and His Mother.

Critics Review

Navigating in-law relationships is one of the most under-acknowledged yet emotionally loaded parts of partnership. With clarity, compassion, and the expertise of years in the therapy room, Dr Tracy Dalgleish gives women the tools to stop feeling like they're walking on eggshells and start building relationships that protect their peace - and their marriage.
Dr Shefali Tsabary, New York Times bestselling author of 'The Conscious Parent'
As a psychotherapist, I've worked with countless women carrying the silent weight of in-law stress and feeling like they're the problem for struggling with it. What Dr Tracy Dalgleish brilliantly offers in You, Your Husband, and His Mother is both a reframe and a roadmap. Her VAULT method is the missing language many couples need to finally get on the same team and protect what matters most: their relationship. Highly recommend!

You, Your Husband and His Mother is the book for you if you have ever felt like you have to choose between being a 'good daughter-in-law' and being true to yourself. Dr Tracy offers a new paradigm to reimagine our roles. With real-life stories, practical guidance, and deep validation, this book helps us break free from societal expectations and assumptions that serve no one.
Eve Rodsky, author of New York Times bestseller 'Fair Play'
