[quote=Anonymous]OP, the posters with "good/decent" MIL will be here soon to pile it on you.  Frankly, your MIL is NOT your problem.  Do not worry about your children - soon, they will be old enough to make up their own minds.  It is no longer the 1950's where "children are seen and not heard" - as MIL would like it to be.  How MIL is remembered is entirely up to her, and children are NOT stupid.  If your MIL can not show you respect, it is very likely she does not respect herself, and has some unresolved issues of her own that she is trying to foist on you. Do not let her.  Again, she is NOT your problem.

Go about your life as if she is who she is - an unhappy person who has no bearing on you whosoever. As you can see, there are enough people familiar with this negative dynamic, you are not alone.  The PP who mentioned NPD is onto something - read about it.  For MIL's like this, she will not be happy as long as you are happy. Don't give her what she wants emotionally, because it will never be enough. Ask me how I know. [/quote]
