[quote=Anonymous]You're getting good advice, OP. I would add that one positive way you can look at this is an opportunity for you to model for your kids how they can handle themselves when dealing with difficult people. (A skill that will always come in handy.) You say that members of her own family seem to be afraid of her. You don't necessarily need to tell her exactly what you think, but you also don't have to "play along" either. You can choose to disengage, to deflect, to not get wrapped up in her drama. If she can't make you "toe the line" like her other family members, she will still feel like she is "scoring" off you when she sees how mad she has made you. Don't give her the satisfaction.[/quote]
