What legal action against in-laws harassing me mentally and physically?

My son is 17 years old and currently studying in 10th standard. Since my husband's death 8 years ago, I have been mentally harassed by my in-laws. They raise their hands, abuse me, lie, and despite several warnings, it continues.
