I have a very interfering mil. She is the engulfer and controller and a bit of the critic from the toxic in laws book by Susan Forward. Dh was the substitute husband for a while when his parents got divorced. She would put the financial worries on his shoulders at a young age. She uses emotional blackmail, bribary, silent treatment, sulking and even screaming tantrums to try to get what she wants. She will even use people's personal medical information against them or as a guilt trip to try and get what she wants. I have started to go low contact with her recently. Dh doesn't think her behaviour is that bad (says I only think her behaviour is abusive because I don't like it etc). At the moment she works full time and is busy with work lots of weekends. She is retiring in a couple of months and I'm really worried that she will try to interfere lots with all the free time she will have.
Anyone have any similar mils? What was it like once they retired?
