[quote=Anonymous]I called her out on her manipulative behavior and refused to let her have her way yet again. She’s always had a scheming, controlling, passive aggressive personality and I finally told her I’ve had enough. DH and I have not done her bidding— not accepted money from her, did not agree to spend every Thanksgiving with her (she tried to demand it), do not require the kids to speak with her every week (they do not enjoy taking to her because she’s nosy) and opted not to live near her. We’ll, things came to a head and I told her it’s time to stop if she wants a good relationship with us. It’s been crickets for days. I think she’s going to let this go one forever except when she comes for Christmas (she invites herself every year). So, how would you all handle? I feel too old for this— near 50. I’m tired of her crap and tired of worrying about her happiness. Conversations with her degrade into criticisms of where we live, our kids school, our lack of interest in church, our neighborhood, etc.  Call her, let it go? Yes, she’s 75 but that doesn’t give her license to behave the way she does. She’s lost friends over the years bc of how she acts. Of course, it’s always everyone else. [/quote]
