[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out the book "Boundaries" by Henry Cloud. I think it might help you. I think the key for you would be to stay calm in the moment. Like others pointed out, rather than sulking, to instead go and play with the 3yo. A line needs to be drawn. Your family has a really messed up dynamic, and I think you may not see it clearly because it's what you grew up with. I wouldn't visit with people who insulted my husband. In your shoes I'd skip the next holiday and let them know why. Let them think you're a bitch. [/quote] We are definitely planning on skipping the next holiday. I posted today because my mom called about brother's latest promotion and told me I needed to send a card. How about no.[/quote] Why do you waste your time on them? Why visit them or talk on the phone, etc. when you know they are going to torment you? Your mother treats you like a child and you let her.[/quote]
