[quote=Anonymous]Hope the visit went OK, OP. I would not be able to tolerate a visit from my ILs under such circumstances. I have terrible, horrible ILs who are in complete denial about pretty much everything. My FIL opens every conversation with me with "How's it going, good?" He cannot tolerate anything truthful about real life, which is never completely "good." Two of our children had very serious health problems, and I never even got acknowledgement from my ILs about the problems. DH is so used to them, that he expects nothing from them.

Anyway, I feel your pain, OP, but I also feel such resentment toward my ILs, who seem to think they are "great people." Yes, they think they are compassionate because they are Democrats who care about others, unlike those awful Republicans who are cold and harsh. But guess who showed up to help me with my sick children -- my "terrible" Republican relatives!

BTW, I'm a Democrat too, but I'd never judge the value of a human being based on their political beliefs!!

I'm glad your wife is better, OP. Please update us. I've found support from strangers on the internet is helpful, and I'm glad you've found support here. You can't change your ILs, but feel free to come back and vent if you need to![/quote]
