Update...fmil drama

Hi all,

if you’ve been following my posts about the drama with FMIL we had a call yesterday she wanted to know if I had any hurt feelings caused by her or FFIL and that she really wanted a close relationship with me like her and her husband had with his parents. I told her I wanted that too but that there has been way way way too much drama coming from them this past year that I don’t feel comfortable being close with them with all the negativity and complaining about every little thing under the sun. Even when we tried to meet her unrealistic expectations she still found something to complain and cause drama over. I wasn’t even close with them before and told her I could not see myself feeling close with them or having that kind of close relationship given their behavior, non-stop complaints and drama. I didn’t and dont feel safe and I feel like it’s honestly toxic people draining and exhausting. It’s like they feed off of it and it never stops or something. There has been way too many boundaries and disrespect issues coming from them and I just had to lay down the line when I talked to FMIL yesterday. It sucks that we can’t have a normal functioning relationship but close relationships happen naturally and really no room to occur in this circumstance. she said she would back down so I hope the boundary line is strong for her to realize I’m not putting up with the crap anymore.
