[quote=Anonymous]You’ll figure this out when you and your spouse decide that trying to manage her feelings and being manipulated by her guilt trips are not things you will engage in. You’ll need to learn to say things like, “I’m sorry you feel that way. That’s what is best for our family.” And then move on. One way to start setting clear boundaries is by deciding what’s enough and then being proactive by communicating it clearly to her. It might be that you decide to host her for a monthly Sunday dinner and two kid events a month. That’s it. Again, if she expresses disappointing and/or guilt, give the response above. You don’t need to overexplain or justify. Just let her know what works best for you and move on. She can chose to accept it or not. What she doesn’t get to do is bother, pester, guilt-trip or complain. [/quote]
