[quote=Anonymous]I feel like I read something about this recently, where the OP was wondering what to do if a disappearing MIL tries to revoke her no-contact mode right before the holidays. She sounds difficult, OP. Ask your DH what he wants to do, and if she does come over for the holiday just have her come over only on Christmas Eve. Be welcoming but then ignore all her attention-seeking nonsense. Go about your business celebrating, ignore her whimpery tone when she speaks. If your kids want to engage her in a craft project like decorating little gingerbread houses or making cookies, that will get her out of her corner. Your kids aren’t taking it personally that she does this disappearing act. Teach them compassion regarding her mental illness and that’s how they’ll view her disappearances, etc. [/quote]
