[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very sympathetic to OP here. This woman goes between rejecting OP’s family and ruining all the holidays she demands to attend with her passive-aggressive attempts for sympathy. It’s nothing like the deaf FIL who wants to sit in front of the TV scenario. That guy is doing something contentedly, so it’s easy to enjoy the holiday around him—it’s like parallel play. Hard to do that with a faux-wounded animal sitting in the corner. OP, any way to make these holiday gatherings bigger with friends and/or family who know the story for MIL? She might be too ashamed to pull this BS around a larger group. Either way, it could help make it a more joyful and normal holiday gathering for you and your kids. [/quote] We used to have larger gatherings before her behavior began escalating. We don’t feel comfortable subjecting non-family members to this, it’s awkward enough when it’s just us. Thank you for your sympathies. —OP[/quote]
