[quote=Anonymous]Have a zoom call with your DH and you MIL. Have a script that you are going to read from. Your DH needs to say .... That he loves her and you want her to be a part of family events. But the way things are going needs to change. Everyone is on edge and it is exhausting. It is not healthy for anyone. Can you start by doing a low key even before the holidays to test it out? Decorating cookies? Going to see Christmas lights some where? Your DH needs to step in and orchestrate it more - so when he sees the signs, he figures out how to de-escalate and let everyone take a breath. And have a phrase like - Mom, I am going for a walk as I need some fresh air - and when that is said, she knows she needs to drop what ever she is engaged with and step outside with him. Best of luck[/quote]
