[quote=Anonymous]OP can you see how your anger at inlaws was misdirected? You are angry at them for not sucking it up the way you suck it up when your parents misbehave. I have a highly challenging mom and have been insulted the same way you are when I set boundaries. I finally told her that insults, manipulations and tantrums were no longer tolerated. If she cannot be kind and civil to us and any guests we invite then she should not be involved with us. So she stopped talking to us for about 6 months and then she bit her tongue from then on. She acts up now and then and the invitation is calmly rescinded and phone calls go to VM. She accused me of making her walk on eggshells and I said if that is what it takes to treat us and everyone we care about with respect then walk on the eggshells.[/quote]
