[quote=Anonymous]My MIL was pretty terrible to me for many, many years. It took about 20 years to get better. No, no apology snd I don’t want one. There wasn’t one specific thing, just really awful behavior for many years. In hindsight, I matured too and learned how to deal with her. DH got better with the situation too. I think time helped. I put in a lot more boundaries. She backed off. We both got older. Honestly, her health declined to a point where she no longer visited and stayed with us. Trips there are short and we don’t stay there. The kids are teens and she doesn’t understand them at all. The other thing that helped is she thinks I am a good mother and acknowledges that constantly. That goes much farther than any apology. I understand she didn’t have it easy as a single mom and was probably over protective of DH in the early years. So we both have some mutual respect that we didn’t 20 years ago. [/quote]
