[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I ever wanted from my MIL was for her to consistently kind. I didn't need any gifts or celebrations. Just kindness. Didn't get it. I took the high road, but eventually we did need to distance ourselves because it was constant drama. She was that way with everyone though-very tormented soul. [/quote]

Same.  My MIL's entitled attitude poisons the rest of the family.  She actually shuns DH, who still helps her and her family members.  It is so gross. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.  One example: MIL will celebrate Mother's Day with all her local kids but DH. She is not a nice person, to say the least - and she has raised her other kids to be like her.  DH is warmly welcomed and included by my family, and DH has so much in common with my family, it is really nice to see DH enjoy and appreciate my family, and them, him.  It makes my heart sing to see DH so loved and welcomed and not judged, only accepted warmly - both of us, actually.   MIL takes my being different as a personal affront, and wants to treat me the way they always treated DH.  I ignore it, at this point - because she wants a reaction, and I am not giving her that. I only expect negativity from her. She is mean and hurtful, but I would expect nothing more (than her dividing her own kids) from such an obviously bitter, snarky person. MIL's toxic attitude and negative behaviors remind me that only the good die young.  She teaches me what not do do.[/quote]
