[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, everyone has their sh*t.  But owning it is most of the battle.  My ILs sit around like they have all had lobotomies, and no one is supposed to air anything, except if you are a peripheral visitor; in which case, they will flat out ask you personal questions.  Ridiculous.

If my ILs owned their oppressive baggage, and knew how to laugh once in a while (note: not at others' expense - not that I should have to point that out), and be warm and inclusive......well, then I would know that I married into another family entirely.  My ILs are just painful to be around.  They are far too introspective, yet don't own their sh*t.  Explain that one.

No, I'll pass, thank you.   [/quote]

OMG - I could have WRITTEN THIS save for the introspection piece, I think they have no idea how dysfunctional they all are - including BIL.  The oppressive nature of the 18 elephants in the room none of us are allowed to acknowledge yet which literally drive every single discussion makes me need a xanax 100 miles away.  If we lived any closer I'd have blown up a long time ago.  Have any of you dealt with this successfully?  I'm a really "heart on my sleeve, honesty if the best policy" so it is particularly painful for me to nod and not explode.  Maybe I should start my own thread for advice.[/quote]
