[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thank you so much for your responses. I hate to think of so many other DIL's experiencing this, but on the flip side,  I can't tell you how much it helps to know that there are so many people in similar situations. [b] There have been so many times when I have questioned myself when it comes to MIL.  Things like: "Am I being a bitch?"  "Am I being too sensitive?"  "Maybe I am being controlling...."  "Am I jealous?"  [/b]

It is so rare that I ever have confrontations with anyone.  Really, its never.  It makes me very uncomfortable, and I'd rather just walk away. The fact that I let MIL get to me for so long is really the only issue.  And since I'm no longer emotionally invested in her, my life has been so much less stressful.

Thank you again. [/quote]

Difficult people never ask themselves these questions.  So if you are aware of the fact that you might be hurting feelings, you are already light years ahead of most insensitive people.  [/quote]

I also empathize with you, OP.  I agree with the really helpful responses, after years of having a difficult, self centered, selfish MIL myself.  In my case, MIL has the family get together once or twice a year for appearance sake, so she can say who attended. Never a nice word about DH, certainly not me or our children. It's awful. You are not alone.  In fact, this thread made my day, thank you.  [/quote]
