It saddens me to see the Toxic Person fits my daughter's mother-in-law to a T - it is no wonder that they (she and her husband) have such trouble being with her - the minute she sees my wonderful, great-hearted, intelligent, hard-working, funny, good, son-in-law, she starts up at him about something - everything always has a negative side. You could not give her a rainbow, she would complain where could she keep it, what does it eat, how can I manage, you never think of me, etc. They can't keep away from her, or they alienate his father also of whom he is so fond. Their little son loves "Pop" also, though he avoids "Gramma". My daughter is alright at shrugging off what is thrown at her, but she fires up at what is thrown at her husband by his mother - and my son-in-law is sometimes unable to speak he gets so furious. So they just leave - and then the next time they go, she starts up about that. I don't see her at all - I have not got good health, and I can't take her constant 'stuff'.
My son-in-law has had two sets of sessions with a psychologist trying to sort out how to deal with her - but she knows his every button. Any advice from anyone?
