[quote=Anonymous]Ugh! My sympathies. My MIL is also a narcissist and it's terrible. Whatever you decide, consider whether you want to broach your new strategy with your DH first. Will he back you up if you stop facilitating visits to IL? I totally get the impulse to back away because that's what I would want to do too. My MIL doesn't live close by (thx god), but when we do visit, I do the same thing as the other posts - I am present but don't talk much with her nor do I like to volunteer information. Instead I focus on the kids and kind of tune her out. If she starts bitching or being unreasonable I just get up and leave the room. I'm sorry, she sounds like a piece of work. It's tough to navigate when DH still loves mom unconditionally (as does mine), but hopefully there's a way for you to step back a bit. Maybe DH needs to plan more of the visits with his IL, not you.
