[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m nearing my 15 year anniversary and I am also done. I tried and tried but realized it wasn’t really about me. It was about them and their family dynamics. Now I make him deliver all news, bad or good and all decisions. I don’t get involved besides being a moral support and someone that he can bounce ideas off of.

It has been incredibly freeing. I am learned to be ok with not being their “good” list but I guess it was a farce from the beginning. Just took me a long time to realize.[/quote]

Yes, this. My key word was “disengage.” And I did. I don’t follow any of them on social media, don’t call or email any of them, and don’t ask my husband to share information about them. If he wants to talk to me about them, I engage and try to be neutral. I know they probably judge me for this, but self preservation is better than being my SILs besties. Marrying into a crazy family (which was wholly unapparent at the time...) requires a certain set of tools. [/quote]
