[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as nipping her comments, just say something head-on. "Larla, it seems from your comments like something's bothering you. What's on your mind?" If she demurs, point out that she made "xyz" comment and ask what she meant. Keep doing this and she'll either have a direct conversation or else stop with the comments. [/quote] MIL is a very passive aggressive person. I generally hear from FIL what she's upset about because she will never tell me. I'm a busy business owner, wife and mom. Sometimes I miss her passive aggressive comments.[/quote] I'm so sorry about your dad. I would just explain to your MIL that you have some things going on in your extended family that you've been asked not to talk about, and you've been very overwhelmed. Tell her as much as you can to make her feel less like you're abandoning her out of nowhere and for no reason.[/quote]
