[quote=Anonymous] I've seen my mother, who is the youngest of 7, in that dynamic - she is in her 60s. Despite having been on a more even footing with her siblings for decades, some of them still treat her like the maid. I used to be mad on her behalf, but now I realize that it's all on her - she lets herself be treated like that. YOU have the power. You have to be courteous at all times, dress well and stand up straight and be gracious and smile. You can say no. You must not explain or defend yourself. They are not entitled to any explanations. You must distance yourself and stop being available. Your kids can survive without seeing their extended family that often. [/quote]
