[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We clearly need a cooling off period. SIL called DH a bit ago and after a bit of chitchat, he asked about the emails from BIL. SIL started shouting at DH that she'd just now finished paying off our wedding from nearly 3 years ago (which was a small deal in my hometown, she was a bridesmaid, she wore a dress of her choice). He asked her not to scream at him and she didn't stop, so he hung up on her. Then she started texting him repeatedly with similar things, so he blocked her on his phone to stop them. And that was it. Ugh. She has my number but she hasn't contacted me. There's obviously more going on here than just me not being in contact with them enough. I feel like that was just the tip of the iceberg, with all this other crap under the surface waiting to come out.

I appreciate all the advice from everyone on here- much of it was pretty spot on and very helpful. And I'm staying out of this for now. I doubt there's anything I can say or do to help at this point.[/quote]

Holy crap, OP.

Cooling off period sounds like a good idea.  Like, maybe, a decade or so?

I don't undertand all of the blocking that your DH does, though.  Doesn't that just escalate the drama?  And precisely what was SIL texting?  What will you do about the beach house?

Out of curiosity, is your family more wealthy than theirs?  Have you had a lot of financial advantages that SIL doesn't have?  (Not an excuse for her Fortas to Crazytown; I grew up poor with alcoholic parents, and I would never behave like that.  But I remember as a young teenager having savior fantasies about people, like, maybe this new person in my life will finally make me feel x, and when my fantasy didn't work out, it was a huge disappointment...seems like SIL created a lot of fantasies in her head about what having you as a sister would be like and she's furious that you didn't get the script.)[/quote]
