[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly this poster has never dealt with borderline mentally ill people who insist on dramatizing everything. In other words, what you think of as rationally and firmly telling MIL you'd like her to call before coming by and seeing if it is convenient, she will take as "they don't love me and they don't want me in their lives and first they'll ask me to call and then they'll move with no forwarding address . . " and this will be reported to your other similarly insane relatives who will then attempt to organize an intervention with you because you're "thinking of disowning your MIL" or some such thing. Rational behavior and speaking up only works if the people you are dealing with are similarly rational. That's a big, big assumption.[/quote] Exactly. This is why wise people do nothing except disengage gradually. Much less conflict that way. [/quote]
