Thank you so much for your responses. I hate to think of so many other DIL's experiencing this, but on the flip side,  I can't tell you how much it helps to know that there are so many people in similar situations. [b] There have been so many times when I have questioned myself when it comes to MIL.  Things like: "Am I being a bitch?"  "Am I being too sensitive?"  "Maybe I am being controlling...."  "Am I jealous?"  [/b]

It is so rare that I ever have confrontations with anyone.  Really, its never.  It makes me very uncomfortable, and I'd rather just walk away. The fact that I let MIL get to me for so long is really the only issue.  And since I'm no longer emotionally invested in her, my life has been so much less stressful.

Thank you again. [/quote]

Difficult people never ask themselves these questions.  So if you are aware of the fact that you might be hurting feelings, you are already light years ahead of most insensitive people.  [/quote]

I have a nasty MIL, too.  Keep reminding yourself that there is a 0% chance that SHE is asking herself these same questions.  My MIL has no idea that she hurts me with her continuing pattern of mean spirited behavior.  Honestly, the one time I called her on it she was astonished. Now I don't bother. It's not worth it.  I just fake it, fake it, fake it. [/quote]

ITA.  You can bet MIL does not give a flying care about anyone else.  And I would also bet MIL is not used to people calling her on her abhorrent behaviors.  Too bad for MIL.
