[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's about control and/or insecurity about not feeling needed by anyone. [/quote]

The "feeling needed" is really helpful. Thanks. 
I do suspect that as she is getting older she fears she is losing relevance. She does not follow the news, read or have any hobbies, so it is difficult to have much of a conversation with her. [/quote]

NP. It sounds like you know all of these possible reasons perfectly well, and you just want to relish the validation of other people besides you saying she feels old, irrelevant, anxious, fearful, losing control. Hope your mean satisfaction is useful to you.[/quote]

Being acerbic on DCUM seems to give you some kind of mean satisfaction. So you do you.[/quote]

It isn’t “mean” to look reality in the face. You don’t like your MIL, and you like gossiping about how odd she is.[/quote]

I’m a new poster. If this is your definition of gossip, I’m confused why are you on this board? This board is meant for talking about issues/getting help and that requires providing a background on a situation or personality. If you consider this gossip, then you shouldn’t be on this board or you need to get off of your high horse. Your response was not helpful.[/quote]
