[quote=Anonymous]There was a weekend when I was depressed and MIL wanted to come to town and stay at our house. Really she wanted to visit with another family member who lives in our town, but she wanted to stay at our place. I told DH to tell her she couldn't. She was very upset. Her attitude was that she would never refuse HER home to us. I still don't know if I did the right thing. I just didn't feel like having anyone around. Now she is dead and I wish I had sucked it up and just let her come. I could have just stayed in my bedroom.

I wasn't always so nice to my SIL. She and my brother are now divorced. There was always a lot of drama between them and I resented that her presence made our previously quiet holiday visits with my parents so much more unpleasant. In retrospect, thinking about her really difficult upbringing, I understand why she was the way she was and I wish I had been more tolerant. She wasn't an evil person, she just had some issues. I absolutely hated the way she parented her children and it was really hard to watch; I am not sure I always maintained a poker face. [/quote]
