[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think the impulse to see it as a personality issue is a combination of denial and helplessness in understanding. If it is mental illness, which I am increasingly convinced it is, the acknowledgement of this will be overwhelming, esp for MIL. They are a family that withholds their emotions in a major way--they never confront each other in a healthy, honest way. DH has said this and I have witnessed this. My side is far from perfect, but this withholding is very pronounced in their family. Thank you again to all for your empathy, sympathy, and advise. It has helped.[/quote]
