[quote=Anonymous]OK I have been dealing with this first with my MIL and SILs and then with my own mother and sister. I find depression contributes because when my MIL and sister were happy they were nice, now they enjoy being catty

First and foremost as others have said...

1.) Don't TAKE the BAIT, stay calm. Pretend you are floating above and watching some strange creatures from the animal kingdom interacting. Be calm and cool and don't react to anything. You could even pretend to be a confused dog. When someone insults you or jabs turn your head to the side and look like you don't comprehend what happened.

2.) Always have an exit plan and escape route...go to the bathroom, go to chat with someone else, have excuses to leave and make sure everyone in family will play along as needed

3.) Find your safe people. If you know who they are, great hang with them. Otherwise work the room and find people who are pleasant.

4.) Xanex...either take one before (if you don't have to drive) or have one ready if needed.[/quote]
