[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Advice to my younger self: go grey rock. Offer no new information, do not engage in breezy conversations because any details you give will be fodder for gossip and criticism. She will not change. [/b]You’ll come across as a boring automaton and that’s the goal. My MIL launched some real zingers that I dismissed initially as her lack of filter - but it’s more than that - it’s seething anger, resentment, jealously, mental health issues, one sided competition and bitterness. I’ve known mil for 30 years. Not once has she been encouraging or uplifting. Not in her nature. Even compliments are back handed and sarcastic.[/quote] I learned this too late. Op, I started calling my MIL on her crap in the last couple of years she was around. It shut her down once in a while, but not often enough. Ignore, ignore, ignore.[/quote]
