[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you guys Italian by chance? I married into a family like this. MIL once said this to DH. You are dead to me. I was horrified. He said this was normal. So if that’s your family, then continue how you have, but after that, I took MiL at her word and kept her at arm’s length. [/quote] We're Irish Catholic. This type of behavior is part of the family ethos. The troyble first arose when I quit drinking and started therapy. I could no longer tolerate the dysfunction. We weren't raised well so none of us knows how to relate to each other in a healthy way.[/quote] NP and I’m an Italian married to an Irish Catholic. I read the OP’s post and wasn’t shocked. I could see it happening on either of our sides. Don’t block back or engage. Give space. Lots of space. It’s hard to be silent but try. You might all be fine by the next holiday or you might not speak for 10 years. [/quote]
