[quote=Anonymous]I have been very minorly harmed by my MIL every time we see ILs.  She'll grab my wrist, arm, or shoulder and squeeze it very hard to hurt me.  But she always does it "lovingly" while saying "come here, I want to show you something." I've never been bruised but it's always red and sore afterward. I always say "ow" or please don't touch me, but she won't stop.  Everyone always teases me and even DH thought I was being "overly sensitive".  MIL is almost 70 and this has gone on for 8 years so she's old and not in great shape but somehow she takes her strength and physically hurts me so that I'm scared. Now today she grabbed our two year old daughter when we had dinner together tonight and she does seem to have a bruise on her arm where she grabbed her in the shape of the fingerprints.  It's not clear -- like three blueish marks on her arm but our daughter was screaming.  DH thinks I'm seeing things and I think he's blinded to things.  The problem is that she doesn't seem to be physically abusive to anyone else, and according to DH, she never lost her temper (and I've never seen that either).  What do I do?  DH will never forgive me if I file a report and where is my "proof".  Is this all in my head?  Has this ever happened to anyone else?[/quote]
