[quote=Anonymous]I agree that abuse is overkill for what you describe. This falls more under the category of unwanted hugs, and you deal with it in the same way. It's fine to speak up and step away if MIL wants to hold your arm/shoulder and you don't like it. Just do it with a smile and keep it light. In other words, be kind. If MIL is too rough with your daughter you can also speak up. But again, do so in a loving way. There's a big difference between reminding MIL to 'be more gentle with DD' and saying your daughter is being physically abused. Note that if the word "abuse" even crosses your mind (about the behavior you've described) then keep your mouth shut. Remind yourself that you are too emotional to have a rational conversation at that point. Seriously. [/quote]
