From experience I'm going to comment on the MIL issue. My x MIL is very controlling and manipulating too. I had issues with my X not telling her to back off because I thought it was his place to do it. Do you ever say anything to her yourself? Take some of it into your own hands and be forward with her. My x MIL was the same way with my x's current wife at first. She is more vocal than me though and told the woman to back off. It took a few times and a couple of disagreements but it worked and she doesn't have to put up with a quarter of the crap I did.

When we were together, you said you'd die for me. Now, I think it's time you kept your promise.

I have tried talking to her - on numerous occassions (as have all my husband's brothers wives.) This woman feels she is the queen and all her daughter in laws need to bow to her and do as she says because we are all selfish idiots because we do not raise our kids the way she raised hers. I wish this was an exaggeration. I have tried being super friendly to her - I've tried being open minded to her input but when she is telling the boy he doesn't have to listen to me and taking him out of the house for lunchs and shopping (while my husband and I are at work) without telling my husband or I - I think it is my husbands turn to stand up for his wife. (He has never spoken up to her about anything.) I've stood up to my mother when she has crossed the line - I think he needs to do the same.
The day I had my son this woman got bent out of shape because MY MOTHER and MY SISTER were in the hospital - not in the delivery room with me and my husband but just in the hospital (my mothers first grandchild, my sisters first nephew - my MIL 11th grandchild.) So she ended up turning the happiest day of my life into a big old drama about her and her feelings - and my husband didn't say anything.
Hearing things from her DIL's has made no difference - maybe hearing from her son will.
