[quote=Anonymous]MIL knows she's being controlling and she enjoys it. I am in introvert who is typically very accommodating and flexible and sometimes people read that as doormat. I know this and I know that if I am being walked on it is within my control to do everything I can to try to put a stop to it. You can write a letter, send a series of text messages or emails if you don't want a verbal confrontation. It works. Send off the written communication and let the dust settle. MIL can feel angry, insulted or out of control, those are her feelings to handle. You could also say things like "I'm not comfortable with that" or "I don't agree with the way you are doing that" see the info at this link... https://umatter.princeton.edu/respect/addressing-disrespect https://umatter.princeton.edu/respect/tools/creating-respectful-community Good luck.
