[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you must engage when she makes nasty comments, I have two pieces of advice. 1) crickets. Let the words just hang there. No one responds at all. 2) Be upfront. "Wow Sally. That was really unkind" or "that really hurt my feelings". Let her bluster, then see # 1. Agree with others, disengage as much as possible. See her and interact with her as little as possible. Send her an invitation to the party or graduation or whatever in the mail. Do not talk to her on the phone. Do not email with her. She is not your mother. She is not your friend. Stop trying to please or appease her in any way. Do not be rude or mean or cruel, just live you life without regard to her insanity. You have lived with this for too long; you think this kind of domineering MIL is normal. It's not. [/quote]
