[quote=Anonymous]Think about how you want to be treated and clearly, calmly defend your family at each offensive. A manipulative, passive aggressive person isn't likely to stop intruding after a single outburst. You have to teach with consistent rules. If you want to visit over Christmas, we can discuss but don't make an assumption we are free to host. I can ask my kids each week about a call , but I won't demand they call you. Prepare for the fact she will make unreasonable demands, she will get angry and manipulate. You can't manage her reaction, just your own. At times I have stated that I will have to end a call if 'x' continues. Hang up if needed. You don't have to engage with the manipulation. It takes practice.[/quote]
