[quote=Anonymous]Don't tell her when you are going to vacation. Say no to coming over before dinner even if it's three hours before. Directly ask MIL to leave your house. Be direct. For example, I told my own mother that if she ever spoke to my children the way she spoke to me that she would never see any of us again. I meant it. This was effective. My children did not grow up with the emotional and verbal abuse. Anytime, my mother started screaming after I was an adult, I would tell them (both parents I am leaving. I told them in advance that I would leave anytime she had a temper tantrum like that and I stuck to it. You have to have rock solid boundaries. One time, my mother came to a party and cried on my sofa, so she was not invited to parties after that. She screamed at me after I had planned my grandmother's memorial and told me there was no point in having a funeral or a service. After that, I never rode in a car alone with her... [/quote]
