VENT: MIL is so annoying to me

VENT: MIL is so annoying to me

SO, i'm lucky in the sense that they live fah, fah away....HOWEVER, since we got engaged I feel like we see them ALL the time! One weekend they were for our engagement party, then we went there for thanksgiving....anyways, she is a sincerely NICE woman, but has a slew of mental issues (battles depression, ocds, and distorted body image). She is controlling and critical and being around her is just exhausted. My FH loves her, but knows she is crazy. How do I just be OKAY with her - accept the good, forget the bad, and move on from this annoyance?!!

Re: VENT: MIL is so annoying to me

That sounds rough - at least like you said they live far away. When you're with them try carving out some time for yourself. I find when i'm with people like that I go to the bathroom often jsut to sit in there alone and breath and chill out and remember that its not healthy a person is getting me so upset. Anyway, not sure if that was helpful.
