[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is somewhat like this, but not as bad (thank goodness). but I have had success in attributing it to anxiety issues. She is so anxious for validation all the time. She repeats herself and stories constantly - it's just a weird insecurity/anxiety. it is easier when I can feel slightly sorry for her carrying around all that anxiety vs feeling constantly smothered. Also, give up on caring what she thinks of you. If your DH is able to dismiss it as "she's just always been like this," I think he probably ignores it and goes about his life. So as others have said, go about your life and just ignore as much as possible. [/quote]
