[quote=Anonymous]Zero guilt. I should get a blog, but I’ve gone Gray Rock (thanks, dcum) after being screamed at (at a public event) by my MIL for not returning her phone call. This was well over a decade ago and the last straw for me. I’m a childhood trauma survivor who was verbally abused by an alcoholic parent; I am a people pleaser and a sensitive soul. I avoid conflict and drama. This event with my MIL made me wake up and stop caring about her. She will not change, but I can and will and have. No solo visits, no phone calls, no purchasing gifts, no deep conversations. I’ll be polite, chat, listen but give no details of my thoughts, opinions or offer insights. All surface. I put up boundaries later when I should have done so upon getting married, but I’m not 22 anymore.[/quote]
