My husband's family accuse me of keeping him away from them. What do I do?

Answer the accusation with actions that prove otherwise, not with arguments that confirm their suspicions. Encourage your husband to visit and contact his family, and show that you support that relationship. Join some of the visits so they see you are not an obstacle. Talk with your husband so that he himself explains to his family that decisions are made jointly. Avoid forbidding or controlling his contact with his family, because that really would push him away. Keep an open and warm attitude. With time and evidence, accusations like this usually fade. See in-laws.
