[quote=Anonymous]new poster here: i agree with most everyone regarding church: its is not appropriate to ask someone to attend your religious services. that is a non-issue. but i have a friend who is very much like your SIL. she is my good friend's older sister and i've remained somewhat friendly with the older sis even when everyone else has cut her off. Basically, older sis pulls stunts like your SIL: walking out of dinner when she's done, wrecking havoc with holidays b/c her "way" is the only way, etc. The family has slowly backed away from her - heck, they needed boundaries b/c they kept getting hurt by her. But now older sis is quite lonely. She believes she is the ultimate victim, sees a therapist who affirms that this is so, and has almost no contact with her parents or siblings anymore. Its just kind of sad to see from the outside b/c by everyone laying down the law all the time and constructing so many boundaries, no one is any happier and they are all more divided. I can't say that you should be universally nice and doormat-y to SIL and suck it up and deal with all of her drama, but if it won't kill you to put up with her a little bit, it might be good for everyone...[/quote]
