[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married 25 years. My ILs are local. MIL a boundary pusher, a flake and narcissistic, a toxic combination. Currently, adult DD is not speaking to MIL and I'm unsure if this relationship will ever be the same. My MIL said some very hurtful things to DD in a flippant manner, then refused to apologize. It was the last straw for DD.

The above situation with my DD describes my relationship with MIL; I've had to put up with rude asides, passive aggressive but biting comments and mean-spirited jabs. Never any apologies but expected to take the comments and move on...DH would always claim "that's the way she is..."

Early on, and smarter than MIL, I went gray rock. Absolutely no initiation on my part to make phone calls, visit w/o DH, no vacations w/ ILs, limited interactions. MIL has long forgotten exactly why I've disengaged and so her narrative to my DC is "your mom doesn't like me and I don't know why."[/quote]

This is my relationship wit my MIL. she’s not local, but stays with us a few times each year. I spend the bulk of these visits out of the house...[/quote]
