Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
On the other hand, you should know that it is your right that your husband provides you a separate residence as underlined in Fatwa 84608. So, go back to your husband and reach an understanding with him and ask him to provide for you a separate residence where none of his family lives with you. In case he refuses or is not able to provide it, then you should weigh the harm of staying with him in this state and the harm of divorce, and then choose the lesser of the two harms.
Also, you should be kind and dutiful to your mother and grandmother and obey them in what is permissible only and not in what is a sin or in what would harm you; please refer to Fatwa 84942.
Allaah Knows best.
