[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you’re supposed to be better than MIL, right?  Neither option is a good look for you at all, you just validate her (mis)perceptions.

If you cannot take the high road here the issue is not all Ml’s.[/quote]

You haven't dealt with a narcissist.[/quote]

Yes, I have.... :idea: [/quote]

There is no high road. You have to take no road. [/quote]

Exactly. You can take the high road for 20 years and still end up crushed and broken and slimed before giving up altogether. What a waste of all those years of trying.[/quote]

Oh, this is so me with both my DH and his mother. She has NPD and so he has many characteristics. He hates dealing with her, but can't walk away. And so many of her personality traits have come out in home over the last 10 years that my life has been hell. I have taken the high road again and again. Even up to the other day, after MIL called twice just to "check in" because she's so lonely on lock down. I felt if I didn't call her back, I would look like the bad guy. So I finally gave in. I just don't know how to handle. If you knew the horrible things she's done, you would tell me to never let her in my life, but ignoring her causes extreme tension in my marriage, which I feel is bad for my kids. I just don't know the best way to deal with it.[/quote]
