My MiL has been v difficult with me over the years - she has NPD and also an alcoholic.
I have done the dutiful DiL for many years but at the beginning of the year my DH and I separated and MiL was especially difficult to me and about me during this time - so I decided to go NC when we split.
Children still continue to see her as organised by DH - and have not clicked yet that I am NC.
DH and I have recently (4 weeks) got back together to try again and it is very painful and emotional (there was an OW). DH has been v respectful to keep MiL out of my way at this time as I am feeling especially vulnerable.
She has not been to our house for 6 months - but my 9 year old DD wants MiL to come for tea this evening for DD birthday.
Do I just do this for DD? Should I be able to get over my own insecurities?
The marriage is struggling and I just dont think that I can cope with her sneers, jibes etc and I dont want to be hospitable and fawn all over her.
