Confessions: I feel like I’m married to my husband and his meddling mother

I have been married for a year now and we live with my mother-in-law. The problem is that she has taken control and is the one who seems to be making all family decisions. She restricts my movement so much so that she doesn’t even allow me to go to church. I am not allowed to have friends visiting me and he tells his mother every little thing we discuss, including our personal secrets. I feel like I am married to both mother and son and this is becoming really stressful. I don’t want to get between them but, every day, my tolerance for this is going down. Please advise me.
