[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had an epiphany a few years ago that I get to decide what I care about. I know that sounds really dumb, but it was really liberating. It might take some practice, so start small. The next time your ILs do something hurtful or insensitive or whatever, ask yourself if you want to make the choice to care about it. Assuming the ILs don't do something dangerous or terribly egregious, you really can make the decision not to care. Once you make that decision, then you'll naturally act accordingly. Just keep practicing and before you know it, you'll be choosing to react to only those things that you want to care about. Good luck; I know IL relationships can be difficult. [/quote]
