[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 100% with OP on this one.  Because I have the exact same SIL. Both work in elementary schools, both are exhaustively positive and fake.

The one time my SIL's facade cracked, she called me about a very serious issue with her husband, I was nothing but nice and responsive.  I called her and texted her a few days after the call, to follow up and she pretended like the whole thing didn't happen.

Where is the line between "private" and "lying?"  There are actual bad things, challenges, problems that happen in life.  To not admit ANY of them, or whitewash everything, is LYING. [/quote]

Yikes.  You sound pretty toxic.  Because she isn't wallowing in the "serious issue" you think she's lying?  Some people don't need the drama.  It sounds like you went way overboard in responding and your SIL realized how involved you were trying to make yourself.  Just because she shared information doesn't mean it was an open invitation for you to insert yourself into whatever the issue was.  I would have shut you down, too.[/quote]
