@mind_yourboundaries: Has your mother-in-law or maybe a parent mistaken your boundary as rejection? “Katie” decided to sleep in her own bed after Thanksgiving dinner instead of staying overnight and her mother in law took it personally and acts like she abandoned the whole family.

I have a theory - bad MILs don’t see their children as adults. So they treat their kids spouses like a bad influence friend. My in laws never saw me as a being with feelings as acute as an adult. Instead, they see us like pets or young children to be sculpted, scolded & manipulated into their agenda

Someone else’s behaviors/reactions are not your responsibility.

It will never be enough, no matter how much you cater to that type of person. Never protect the peace when it's never about your peace.

My family thought I was making a huge deal about only waking up in MY home once our son was born. I grew up never waking up in my house on Christmas. He wasn’t doing that.

some people are never going to change and as soon as us who have to deal with those people realize and I'm still learning myself but I think we have the peace in our lives. some people are just born to be emotional vampires.

I like to remind people like this “It’s not really about you though (deploy your best Gen Z stare)…” any time it’s close to relevant.

words that helped me forgive the women in my family: "if they had known better, they'd have done better.". In my cases, I believe that's true.
Once I accepted I had no control over their behavior & that it wasn't a reflection of ME, I went no contact & forgave them. The forgiveness isn't for THEM; it's to get rid of that black pit of poison that's eating your stomach alive.
Within 5 years, my mother & I were friends and in 2010, I was by her side every day until her last. I wouldn't change a thing.

1. Family gathering to be open and honst with her why. 2. Let her know your lives don't resolve around hers. 3. You have things you will do.

Sounds so familiar, coupled with apple/sister-in-law who didn’t fall far from the tree and fiercely protective of her mother. Very tough to navigate and I’m so proud for anyone that can learn to protect their peace before complete implosion.

Omg! This is my MIL. I’m going in a full year of no contact. My hubs has not. It’s not ideal but it allows me healing and way more peace. I’ll be cooking Thanksgiving dinner which he will be taking over to the in-laws house (we have hosted every year prior and live 30 mins away). Worth it to celebrate Thanksgiving in my own home peacefully even if it’s partially alone.
