Husband and his family are very orthodox

My husband’s family is very orthodox, they do not want their child to get out of bed and at the same time want daughter in law to completely look after all house (cleaning, cooking, dusting, taking care of baby, etc) Also husband do not keep any contact with his family relations like bua, Mausi, mama, etc but in this also they want wife should take care of all this. It becomes difficult for me to survive in such environment because I am also working and I have decent salary and I come from a family where father can cook and brother can take care of child. They are not gender biased. Main problem is husband is very much under his mother and father and they keep on telling him that your wife mother want to break your house so my husband has stopped all conversations with my family(brother, mother, everyone) and he says you should stop going to them and stop talking to them. We were married in Dec 2021, blessed with baby boy in July 2024. Husband’s family did not came and my mother came to took care of all delivery, etc. Somehow my father struggled and stayed alone at that time for 2 months. In pregnancy and 2-3 times my husband has hit me also if I said anything about his parents or something which he doesn’t like. 2 months After pregnancy I went to my home and there he came to take me back since then he has stopped going and talking to my parents and also he did not even greet my parents. Now my husband keep on asking me to come along with him to his home where if I go, they don’t talk to me or if they talk they keep on telling all orthodox things that husband is the supreme power of family, you should always obey your husband, etc so I do not like going there as they keep on filling my husband mind with orthodox mentality. My jeth(husband’s brother and his wife) live in same city but different home and bhabhi do not even come to my husband’s home. Only 2-3 times in a year. My husband can’t take care of child also and can’t handle or do house things also. From ordering things to looking after house and baby all I do along with my job. What should I do?? I become mad in all this sometimes and feel like taking divorce. He takes my 30% salary also to run house and earlier in between he tried taking all salary in his account when i denied after few months he said your mum might have denied(which she didn’t) He takes me forcefully for 3-3 days long road travel, I ask to please take flight but he don’t listen if I tell his parents and ask them to explain their kid they don’t explain but keep on telling me you should do what he says, so my parents called his parents that this is not good our girl don’t want to go such long way by car so they say why are you interfering. Let them live the way they want. It’s not the way we want it is always the way my husband wants. He do not listen at all.
