[quote=Anonymous]I might try to talk to her not about the merits of cutting off a particular family member, or who was right or wrong, but instead about your concern about her. "MIL, I understand you're upset with BIL1, and I'm not going to try to talk you out of that. I'm concerned about you, though, because your reaction to it seems so unlike you. You've always been so loving and caring toward all of your children and grandchildren, before all of this I never could have imagined you cutting off any of your family over a dispute. Can we talk about how you're doing with all of this?" See what she says, see if it's possible to open a dialogue about her health (both emotional and physical) and how it might be affecting her reaction. You may not get anywhere, but it's worth a shot.[/quote]
