[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here...I don't know if I draw lines in the sand. More like the offensive comments reach a critical mass and I find it hard to smile and feel warmth toward a person who exhibits such hatefulness. ILs are far away and don't visit often (maybe every year and a half or so) and we don't visit often either. So maintaining a relationship characterized by any kind of emotional closeness obviously requires effort. I find it hard to want to put in this effort when I see/hear these statements and can't just forget them or separate them from the less ugly sides of her. Do I think it's great that I have a hard time not holding things against her or holding grudges for her ignorant and hurtful statements? No. But I can't seem to force myself.[/quote] OK, I understand more clearly now what you are asking. I agree with PPs who say you need to address why the comments offend you but give her a chance.[/quote]
