[quote=Anonymous]Wow, 5:04, I think you have some great input.  My rationship with one SIL is very strained....and the interesting thing is that I feel like I always went out of my way to avoid conflict.  She would rant and ramble about everything and I would mostly respond with a, "mmmm hmmmm?" so as not to set her off on me as well.  I prefered to keep my mouth shut rather than engage in a true discussion because I have seen over and over that she becomes defensive or cuts people out that don't see things her way.

Well, since she has effectively cut me out, it's has ended up being a huge relief on my end. No more pretending. And should our relationship improve, i'd like to think I  ready to take 5:04's advice and stop cowing (or otherwise remaining silent) to her bullshit.  Why did I do that for so long in the name of peace??!?  It was an emotional drain and only made me dread seeing her for the most part.  FWIW, my DH has said all along that I should feel free to speak my opinions (politely of course) and not worry about how she decided to take the info in.[/quote]
