[quote=Anonymous]You made your feelings known, which is all you can do. What you can’t do is control whether she receives it, considers your perspective, apologizes, etc. You CAN, going forward (if she repeats this or any similar comment) tell her point-blank that if she’s going to speak to you with disrespect, she’s going to leave your house and not return until she is ready to treat you with basic respect and kindness. (Or if you are at her house or a restaurant or something, you all leave. Together.) You need to be on the same page with DH about this. It’s actually fine for her to have opinions about work or whatever, but she can keep those opinions to herself and worry about her own life. If she disrespects you, she leaves, or you leave. No contact until she is ready to learn the basic lesson that if you have nothing nice to say, you don’t say anything at all. [/quote]
