Re: How is your in-law situation?

(Anonymous) 2014-08-28 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
MIL is incredibly needy, self-centered and really, really sensitive to any perceived slights. She's also very callous of other peoples' feelings and needs, and is constantly saying awful things because she doesn't think before she speaks. You know the kind of person who takes one look at you and blurts out, "Wow, you've gained weight!"? That's her. But if you say anything... ANYTHING!... she thinks is criticism, she blows up in a storm of tantrums and tears. She was also a terrible mother. I guess you'd call it benign neglect, but she had a child because she wanted unconditional love and acceptance and thought they could be BFFs instead of, you know, a parent and a child. She thinks of herself as really nurturing, but if anyone gets in the way of something she wants, she will trample you to get it and blame it on her absent mindedness.

We see her infrequently, and keep strict limits and boundaries on the time we have together, even though she'd love to see us every week if she could. She'll never understand why we're not close.
