[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL is the lead female in the family and so there’s no room for me. She has not, will not and never will see me as family. She’s always looking for ways to find fault in me and hold it against me like a running lifeline tally. She also refuses to get to know me and has never asked me anything personal in 20+ years. She’s barely engages with our kids. She is lovely to everyone else though so sad she can’t muster up that fakeness with me. [/quote]

I have the same situation.  You’re not alone. Both of my husband’s sisters are miserable to be around.  This past year, after 20 years of suffering, I finally drew boundaries on what type of events I could tolerate with them. I decided I could attend larger events with many other people so the tension was diluted, but I could no longer attend the intimate family get togethers that my ILs wanted.  I hated having to be the bad guy and draw the lines that made my ILs sad, but I cannot allow myself to be mistreated, continually uncomfortable, and for my kids to witness this dynamic and think it is normal.
