#19: Not Good Enough

Dealing with a toxic mother-in-law can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. I think it’s important to approach the situation with empathy and respect, even if you don’t feel like your mother-in-law is extending the same courtesy. First – establish clear boundaries and communicate openly with your mother-in-law before doing anything else.

Can you imagine being in a situation like this where you are constantly walking on eggshells, trying to please a woman that will never be pleased? Whilst she might not be the sole reason this couple ended their relationship, it sure sounds like she had an awful lot to do with it.
