Here’s advice I learned here on dcum and forever grateful: go Gray Rock. Read and learn but this was a way forward and a huge relief for me. Changed my perspective and lessened my anxiety!

Do NOT share anything with your MIL - nothing about your thoughts, feelings, schedule, family life, details about DC. Keep all interactions polite, but truly surface. Combine this with another term I learned from dcum: drop the rope! Do not purchase gifts for her, initiate phone calls (or engage on social media), decide if you feel like seeing her (you stay behind and have DC/DH visit and or visit without you. Disengage. Don’t provide gossip fodder. Ask DH to not disclose your or DC personal health info to MIL.
