My Story

...her mother was doing something on her phone.....then lit into me for not saying hi when I came in the door.

When you (blank)
I feel (blank)
If you (blank)
I will (blank)

These words and the blanks are typically difficult if we are not used to doing it. They become your friend after you start using them.

I have three or four different versions running through my head right now. Want to take a stab at filling in the blanks?

There is absolutely nothing you can do to change her narrative. The best thing for you to do is to let it go, and make your all your decisions based on what you know is the right thing to do - not on how she might frame things to others or how you imagine people may perceive you.

It’s probably the hardest part of being a LBS. But trust me, one day you just won’t care.

I understand. And I certainly did not interpret your comments as having a go at me at all.

I have good days and bad days. I don't show my frustration or anger in front of her at all, regardless of whether the day is "good" or "bad". I won't even mention the things I've overheard. When something happens that riles me up, I vent it here or find something else to do. That's on a "bad day."

I do imagine myself (usually on a "good day"), at some point in the future, looking back and saying, "Why was I so hung up on staying with her? I can do better than her."

I might be a bit dense, but is this "I" statement intended to be a possible reply to something like my MIL said?
