[quote=Anonymous]I would tell DH: 1. That I am disappointed and angry at him, not MIL (she is negligible). 2. That we have to be on the same team and that he must always assume when dealing with MIL that I meant well. Never believe a word she says! 3. Tell him plainly that if he does not turn around, we will end in divorce. Then remind him of these rules every time he goes to you with some distorted story, and refuse to discuss the matter further. Lastly, NEVER EVER run after MIL to apologize or explain. Ugh. Please. Assume in the short-term that she wants you out and enjoys making you squirm. Act defensively in consequence by never giving out more information than you can, never talking to her except when strictly necessary, etc. Re-assess this approach only when you see significant improvement in her attitude towards you (less tale-telling to DH and others). Are you a doormat, OP? If MIL wants war, she'll get war.[/quote]
