[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the silent relative who gives a lot of one word answers at my IL's Thanksgiving. I wasn't always, but my BIL is mentally unstable and I learned this, plus taking lots of breaks to be away from people, is the best way to avoid conflict or setting him off. I can tell my silence also angers him but I can't bring myself to fake converse with him while also walking on all the eggshells you have to walk on, while also trying to parent my kids. So I keep to myself, and disengage, disengage, disengage.[/quote] I’m sorry you have to deal with that. But a different situation than kids who are allowed to stare at their screens the whole day.[/quote]
