[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MILs doesn't listen either.   She is not capable of listening and responding in an appropriate fashion.  No matter what I tell them, no matter how personal, no matter how good or bad, she responds with a self-centered story about herself.

I'm sorry OP - it stinks.[/quote]

Thanks...I'm sorry this is the case for you, too! ILs version of listening is "waiting for our turn to talk." I wouldn't mind so much if they didn't perceive me as quiet and stand-offish, when really I've just had to shut down to protect myself.[/quote]

God yes,  me too. Well, it's like this with my FIL and his wife. That is what I do too, shut down and not speak. There is no point. They do not listen and do not care. And if I ever do talk, they constantly interrupt. They are visiting now and I'm losing the will to live![/quote]

Hang in there, PP! Keep busy with as many chores/errands as possible, and go to bed early.  :) [/quote]

PP here. Snuck away to bed early on your advice! Need my rest to face the next six long days. Thanks for the solidarity/sympathy! :)[/quote]
