[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL recently did something very very hurtful and toxic to me. She is a narcissist and is coming to visit in a few weeks and I need help with boundaries. I usually text her about once a week - pics of the kids, etc but have pulled back the last months. When I told her how hurtful he actions were she completely turned it around and wouldn't even have a convo. How do I handle that without causing drama or forcing my husband to end his relationship?

Move on and pretend it never happened.  You already told her you were hurt, there is nothing left to say.[/quote]

So just be cordial? Do I continue buying Mothers Day gifts and bday gifts or back off? My husband won't do it, he will forget. It was a big deal what went down with us.[/quote]

Tell your DH that that's his mother and his responsibility to buy mother's day and birthday and holiday gifts for her. Don't fall for "but you're so much better at it than me!" Nope. His mom, his responsibility. He has a phone, he can put reminders in it. And if (when) he fails, [i]you let him fail[/i].[/quote]
