[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MILs can't win, basically.[/quote]

I know right? It's like a never ending whine-fest, the pain and abuse these DILs endure.

I've been a MIL and I've had a MIL.  I know a lot of MILs.  Some are annoying, some are great.  It really amazes me how much vitriol these DCUM DILs can muster up daily.[/quote]

So you know women and some are annoying and some are great.  True.

I didn't suffer pain long, I walked away early in the piece as did other family members.  I will take wine to her grave later and dance on it though.  It's great to let other women know they are not alone.  If you don't have anything to add other than try to shame DIL's why are you even posting.

Of course you've been a MIL so the MIL's can't win.  Win at what, the competition is all on their own.  DIL's simply want to be left alone or treated normally.  It's not that hard.  If I end life acting and behaving like my MIL, I have failed miserably.[/quote]

I've been a DIL too.  I predict the angry DILs here will end up worse than their MILs.  Take that to the bank.[/quote]

When DILs move on,  remove themselves they are no longer angry.  Writing a couple of sentences here is not angry. Its simply part of the discussion. I no longer excuse rude MIL behaviour as normal. Younger women should understand they don't need to put up with that toxicity in their life. [/quote]

+1. DCUM saved me thousands on therapy and setting strict boundaries helped me significantly. I rarely see my MIL in person now but our relationship is much better than it was 20 years ago. We have pleasant phone conversations every couple of months or so. We aren’t local.  You don’t have to put up with the toxicity. [/quote]
