[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 74815, member: 3419"] I agree with-Marg that your inlaws should stay on a KTK basis, and that you cannot control them but you can control your response to them. First of all, make sure you have Caller I.D. (No kidding!) Screen your calls and don't take them if you're not up to it. Take care of yourself 1st. On other threads, people have mentioned how airlines tell you to put on your own oxygen mask 1st. That is SO important. Go ahead and get counseling with-a family therapist. They generally have good ideas and can be good coaches and cheering sections, when no one else is there for you. Even the littlest thing you tell them, like, "I thanked my father in law for his interest but told him that I had already made my decision, and then I hung up," will be greeted with-an "Atta Girl!" by your therapist, and that will mean so much to you! This family is toxic. Cleanse yourself. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
