[quote=Anonymous]Here is what happens when I try to call her own or if I ask to be treated with respect:

“I’m only rude because you are a terrible parent”

“You didn’t respect me when you took away my social life.”

I suggested we see a therapist together and here was her response: “you’re the problem. You need to see one alone.”

When I remind her how covid was for everyone in the beginning with the lockdowns and curfews, she says things like, “everyone’s families still let them hang out with their friends inside to at least watch movies or something.”

When I bring up other families who were careful, the response is “yes, they were just as controlling as you and their kids also hate their parents.” She also said I was using the MIL as an excuse to control her access to friends.

I know it was hard for the kids during that time, they did have a crappy HS experience. But I didn’t close down the schools. She is under the impression that I led some sort of secret parent group that forced their school to shut. She has said things like “you probably organized and led parents to call the school about closing.” I was like, what?!

It’s like in her mind I was the only parent that took the lockdown seriously, and more than that, I pushed the school to close down.

I just don’t get it. [/quote]
