[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by "it has come to my attention?" You heard this second-hand? Consider the source...

You're also a coward if you won't have this conversation with her (you might want to sanitize it first).

Also, for all your disclaimers about never speaking ill, if you had this much resentment built up that you just articulated, I'm sure your hostility showed in other ways. You may not be perceived as saintly as you mean to come across. Just saying[/quote]

Yes, this. OP sounds  like somebody who has been feeling like a saintly martyr all along, just chomping at the bit for an opportunity to rip the sil to shreds while extolling her own virtues. [/quote]

Not OP, but I think people who call other people "martyrs," are just trying to find ways to justify or excuse their bad behavior. Doesn't sound like OP is asking for much, except a little acknowledgment and giveback. That's not being a martyr - that's part of being a normal, decent, human being at its most elementary and basic level. All human relationships work on a little bit of an exchange. That's humanity 101.[/quote]

PP here. I came to this conclusion because she posted a really long and irate rant based on one incident of being called a bitch. I agree with pp that she probably wasn't behaving as perfectly as she describes (whether in denial or what, not sure), so something else is a factor here. I'm not justifying the sil. I'm commenting on the way OP was so quick to snap...there must have been a lot of resentment building up over time for her to react so harshly. And when people continue doing something they resent, I think that's kind of teetering towards martyrdom. [/quote]
