[quote=Anonymous]A relationship with a MIL is like any other relationship, one you build as an adult with a stranger. Everybody can relate to how challenging that can be. With your own mother, it seems like most of the people who get angry when people complain about their mothers have their own mothers on a pedestal or have bought into a version of family where mother sacrificed so much for everyone that you were a shithead if you criticized her for anything ever. At the extreme, there are people who are in denial about the dysfunction or abuse of their own families of origin, so they are heavily invested in shutting down other people's discussions of abusive or dysfunctional behavior by their parents (and this seems to go double for mothers).[/quote]
