[quote=Anonymous]No, if you aren't close to BIL, you don't need to make some major effort. Just be polite and welcoming when you do see her. I have become a pro at this stuff and I married into a high drama family. My rules are: *always take high road and always be polite even if not reciprocated *gradually build relationships so you can figure out if the person is safe. Don't force closeness, but leave the door open for more of a friendship until you see major red flags *Stay out of any gossip and badmouthing even if you agree. *Don't share anything personal until you know the person is safe which takes a long time. Keep conversations light and positive. *Offer help and favors that you truly enjoy so there isn't resentment. Offer only when you expect nothing in return. [/quote]
