[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Many of you suggested we deal with MIL differently. How so? How do you provide consequences to a grown woman? Remove access to our family completely? Refuse to visit her and FIL? Cut them out of our lives? I married into the family 10 years ago and have tried my own strategies (talking to her directly and calmly when she does something offensive, ignoring her, getting upset with her - none of which have worked.) I’m convinced there are mental undiagnosed issues. Genuinely curious. [/quote] I mean, your husband is willing to remove access to his sister, and refuse to visit her, because her husband (also a grownup) said something that offended him. Why is it so unthinkable that you might suspend access to your MIL? Why is BIL's behavior so beyond the pale that you're ready to "provide consequences," but MIL's isn't?[/quote]
