[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did years ago.  It felt great.  She is the real loser though.  Her son is not a planner so she only sees our family when I plan visits.  If she wasn't so selfish, she would see us a lot more.  Remember mothers of sons, [b]your DIL will be the one managing the family schedule.[/b]  If you want to on it more than just holidays, make friends with the one who makes the plans.[/quote]

OP here.  Thanks for the support, I appreciate it.  Clearly the posters with either too much time on their hands to have a real problem, or they are evil MILs or both - may never know what it is like at the receiving end of a grown woman with untended mental issues. Aggression toward me is the least of it.  When I try to bring it up, she wants nothing to do with it.  DH says she has always been like this, and that FIL was always the voice of common sense, reason, and weighing what was actually important in life.  MIL is the opposite, that is why we can not get along.  Which is okay, I don't care for her, as much as she doesn't care for me.  I (and anyone else) knows I did nothing to her, and that my mere presence, mouth closed, annoys her.  It's on her; there really is nothing complicated about it.  She simply has unresolved issues.
 
Of course, everyone has issues.  Some take care of themselves more than others.  MIL does not.  [/quote] it looks like your DH married a gal like dear old mom. [/quote]

OP here.  You are amusing!  Exactly opposite, but thanks for the perspective, PP.  Keep posting, I will learn more about MIL this way.
