[quote=Anonymous]My MIL was snarky to me when I was alone and never in front of my DH, so I never knew what to do. I used to dread being in the same room with her because she would say really hurtful things. One day I got mad and told my DH. I was weeping by the time I finished. He looked at me and asked me, "What do you want me to do?" I was shocked. He then went on , "She is an adult and you are an adult. When she is rude to you, she should know that you can also be rude back to her. This is your battle. I am not going to intervene. You can choose to be a victim if you want. Don't involve me in this." I was flabbergasted. But - it did made me realize that it was the most loving thing he could do for me. Next time I confronted her and told her that I will break all relations with her if she continues in such a manner. She tried to talk to DH, but he said the same thing to her. "It is her decision, you have to work it out with her, I will not intervene. It is what it is." Her behavior changed after that. She realized she has no power over me. We have a very polite relationship now. [/quote]
