[quote=Anonymous]SIL obviously sounds awful, and I’d be setting some boundaries about spending time with her. While most likely she has mental health issues or is just a self centered brat…..I will say that sometimes families of origin (that aren’t the one we grew up in) can be hard to understand. For example, yelling at her mom about a sandwich…obviously is ridiculous- but is likely not actually about a sandwich. There could well be there are things happening behind the scenes between the 2 of them that you are unaware of….and husbands (at least this applies to mine anyway) are not always great at picking up on- or explaining to us- some of those things. I have a BIL (DH’s brother) who is similar and after 20 years of marriage…It has become obvious that MIL/FIL are nearly as much at fault as BIL is, in the whole dynamic. Anyway, I’d just stay out of it and stick to reasonable boundaries. It really isn’t your problem. [/quote]
