[quote=Anonymous]No idea. I will always seek to approach her with empathy and remember that she is a person who had an entire life before she married into my family, and to approach her with respect and kindness. I think my own MIL only ever thinks of me as I relate to her. She is openly jealous of me and often resentful of my happiness. It makes me sad and feels like a missed opportunity, because she never had a daughter and my relationship with my own mom has always been burdened by her mental health concerns. But I can't turn my MIL into another person. I accept her for who she is and do my best to work with that. I hope any future DIL or SIL does the same for me. You have to meet people where they are at.[/quote]
