[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I echo the advice to let it go.  It was hard for me as well in the beginning, but I quickly understood that it was not me, it was her.  She mistreats her own children and since I drew boundaries for how she treated me and my children, she did not like that one bit.  I am and have always been civil and kind, but firm.  As a result of her own actions, she does not have the kind of relationship with my kids or even her son that she would otherwise.  I don't keep them from her and we attend family events, but we are not close.  My parents live out of state and my kids feel closer to my parents than to her who lives 10 miles away.  I feel sorry for her actually.  I think she needed therapy years ago and never sought it. [/quote]

This is my situation, word for word, down to where my parents and ils live.  They recently held a family meeting, with my dh present, to discuss all the ways I've wronged them.  I have literally gray rocked since before I even knew that was a thing. My sil actually admitted that the only reason she hates me is because I "took" her "best friend and father figure" from her. First if all, my sil and dh are only 11 months apart and her father and step father dote on her like she's the Queen of Sheba and they always have.

I'm done with it all and do not care. As others have said, it is so liberating to release your emotional well-being from people who aren't nice and don't care about you.[/quote]
