[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Did I write this? This is my MIL too. But of course, [b]she also gets upset because she senses I'm keeping my distance, and she doesn't like that either. I'd rather have her upset because I'm distant, than have to deal with her as a "close" relative. She[/b] is someone who has stopped speaking to almost everyone she was once close too, so that's how her "close" relationships normally end.

This is actually how most of my ILs are.  They thrive on drama and many of the women who marry into the family have joined it.  I am always civil/polite to them and fulfill my familial reponsibilities but I keep my distance emotionally.  They're too chicken shit to say anything to me directly and I don't care what they say to each other.  DH supports me so I put up with it all.[/quote]

Yup on the "too chicken shit" to say anything. A few times early on she would say something and when I diplomatically addressed her about it she was taken aback and claimed a misunderstanding. She started to drop remarks to DH about me and he shut that down immediately. Since then she has tried to come back around and act as if we could be best friends if only I would let her in! wah!!!!
