[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore MIL, and when you speak to common acquaintances, never criticize your MIL in any way whatsoever, and always be polite.

This is the best way to make them see that the crazy one is MIL.

Been there, done that.

+1. I don't have MIL issues but in general just avoid the drama.  You don't have to be all fake kill em with kindness.  Just be cordial, and keep it moving.  Anyone with sense will figure out your husband is a grown man and if he is being "led" it is a path he is willing to go or there is something with the relationship with the mother why he wanted distance and she is blaming you.

Either way, if someone hears her bad mouthing you and exhibiting her other characteristics that make her unique and then meet you always nice and cordial never a bad word spoken about MIL, anyone with sense will have their doubts about MIL's version of events.  If her friends don't have any sense and believe everything without thinking there could be another side to the story ...well nothing you say or do will change their actions and it would make the situation worse to actively try to convince them.  Right now MIL has a sense of power by telling her story to her friends very middle school where my enemies have to be your enemies.  Don't give her any more power by giving her attention/engaging her for this negative behavior.[/quote]
