[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, if she sent it to DH too so he would follow up, it kind of makes it sound like OP is the problem [/quote]

Ha ha.  No it's a manipulation tactic. They can shift the blame then by saying look how hard I try and this person is so difficult.  There is never any introspection to wonder why someone would not want anything to do with them.

Like the time MIL came over with a birthday present for me (first one ever after being married for 5 years) and gave it to me two weeks late and actually said to me, "Oh I had to bring it over son hasn't talked to me in 2 weeks".  Yes she made sure I understood it really wasn't for me.

Toxic people are nasty and there is always an ulterior motive.  I almost handed the present to DH saying to him "oh this is actually for you" but I just said thank you and walked away as she hugged DH and made sure he was no longer upset over who knows what.  She didn't even say bye to me, she had gotten what she wanted, DH was no longer upset with her and she was happy.  These types are truly pathetic.

[b]I dare say if Dh is now talking to her she feels like she has to look like she is trying on some level.  She is probably hoping for no reply or something nasty so she can point to OP and say "see I'm not the problem".[/quote][/b]

This is exactly what's happening. OP here.

And for everyone else I'll say it again, fine I will text her a cold thank you. I think it's ridiculous to copy my husband so I won't be doing that. If she asks more questions I'll blame quarantined packages and covid then block her again. [/quote]

You sound a lot worse than your MIL.  At least she is trying.  You sound like a 5 year old having a temper tantrum.  [/quote]

OP sounds like someone that's been through a really hard time with a toxic MIL. You sound like someone that's been privileged to not have this experience.[/quote]
