[quote=Anonymous]You have every right to be upset. It's awful, embarrassing and humiliating. Even if it's not true, it's so very hard to hear that someone is talking badly about you. I'm sorry.

All that to say - there is nothing that you can say or do to change how your MIL or SIL treats you or in turn, talks about you. There's no nicer or more accommodating or forgiving that you can be that will change people's character.

That said, it appears that past indication is that when you've put your foot down, MIL backs down and apologizes. I'd take the same approach.

I would tell MIL you are aware of all the horrible things that she shared with your sister, that you don't appreciate it, that it's horrible behavior and you see no reason to be courteous and spend time with people who obviously don't like you and that you will refrain from visiting her home. And let that be that.

You know who you are - your DH knows who you are - you have nothing to prove to people who don't like or appreciate you. You'd love to have another type of relationship with them, but you don't. No need to torture yourself with further engagements. [/quote]
