[family] yeah I don’t think that there is a polite way of telling my mother in law to fuck off and I don’t want to see her again :/
Though I’m leaning toward this quote from A R Moxon if she keeps texting me like everything is fine
“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents,
or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.
That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore.
They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

that is an excellent quote
and probably the best response I could thinkof
agreed
y e p
I need to put that quote on cards and hang it to so many people
Hand it. Jesus CHRIST, AUTOCORRECT
that's always rough but you need to protect your peace and the peace of your family
best quote, I agree with everyone else
goodbye Felicia
damn, yeah, that quote covers it
and, I mean, I think you'd have been well within reason to cut your MIL off long before now <3
Yep. You've been very nice to someone who is...... not so much that
I'm surprised you didn't cut her off after she (checks notes) almost hit you with her car?
Yeah I never went back to her place after that. It was two years ago.
But the reason we started talking again was because me and Sergio’s dad both ended up in the hospital
(It is a lot softer than my first draft but that one would have gone over like a lead balloon)
Basically I just don’t want to be around her because I see red (hah) every time and I can’t do this hypocritical song and dance anymore
that's kinder than I could have been <3
(and hell, I wish I could send something like it to my inlaws and not see them anymore... I'm glad you can do this <3)
That's very calm and reasonable
super reasonable!
Mom thought it came off a bit strong in the beginning so I might sleep on it and talk to therapist at noon
coming off a bit strong feels entirely justified to me, but you need to do what feels best for you, so yay therapy thursday to talk about it first
Seconding that
I personally agree. it's not a mild argument that went awry. it's the wellbeing of yourself and your friends and family. it's past the point of being kind and gentle with her feelings
