Parents like to push me over the edge

Hello,

 

I am a guy who is 41 years old. I have been mostly happily married to my wife of 16 years, and we have a 12 year old daughter. My wife has a bad case of fibromyalgia, so bad that she has considered suicide from the pain. I also have some parents I would like to string up frequently. My mother has hated my wife since we were engaged. My mother tried to brake us up when we got engaged and has since then. It does not matter that we have a daughter. She adores our daughter but she hates my wife. She, and at times my father, but mostly my mother has tried to run our lives. My mother does not believe my wife is really feeling pain. We moved away to Florida becasue we have found the more warm and humid weather does her condition well. My wife is not a confrontational person. I am. I do everything from cooking cleaning and the yard work. I don't complain, I can handle things if my parents just stay the hell out. Before I was married, my parents tried to run my life and I would verbally rip their heads off. I would leave my mother crying when I finally had it and verbally let her have it. My father would try to give me a hard time for it. My mother would try to tell me how I should treat my wife and I told her to butt out. There was a certain point that I broke contact for over 6 months. I also went through a nervous breakdown myself. I was seeing a therapist and I would never carry on a long conversation with my parents if they called on the phone. My wife, besides having Fibromyalgia has also had 18 surgeries, draining our savings and leaving us over $30,000 in debt. I absolutely refuse to ever tell my parents or accept money from them. I would rather go bankrupt before asking them. They are manipulative and sneaky. My mother has even admitted to my sister that she thinks my wife is bad for me and she wants to run her off. This may sound bad but I only maintain any contact because I stand to inherit some large bucks. There are times I hate my parents with a passion yet I love them, except it is like trying to hug a porccupine. It has gotten better somewhat since we moved 6 hours way but they still try. If my wife's Fibormyalgia starts to decline we may have to look at disability for her. I am stressed and feel on the edge...What should I do??????????
