[quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have written much of your post, so you have my empathy in spades. I've been married for 20 years. DH (also an only child who hung the moon in her eyes) has gradually recognized his mother for who she is: a "vulnerable narcissist". It sounds like your MIL is perhaps more of a classic narcissist. Regardless, the best way to deal with either type is to gray rock them. Thank you, DCUM, for teaching me this phrase/concept years ago. It has saved me, and it is now saving DH. If she is nasty, don't respond. If she tries to manipulate, don't engage. Gray. Rock. That. Shit. [/quote]
