What's the best way to deal with a crazy as a fruitcake SIL?

[HipChick]

I'm pretty sure she has a undiagnosed mental illness..being in the same room with her, is like sharing time with Hannibal Lecter..you have a sense of general unease..

1. I think you may have stolen my SIL.

If so, you're welcome to her. She's got the worst case of narcissistic personality disorder I've ever seen; just imagine spending time with a very large, fat, old Sarah Palin.

6. Please come take her back....

[Robeson]

2. Be pleasant. Then, otherwise, ignore her. In a pleasant manner, of course.

5. too late for that...what with her wishing that I pass away in my sleep and all

3. As with all fruitcakes...

4. I happen to like fruitcake

7. Don't see her, don't talk with her

If it's possible to ignore her, do so.

The minute you stop buying into her shit, the better off you'll be.

I have two SIL's that would make Gandhi swear. The older has the personality of a piranha with hemorrhoids. The younger LOVES to meddle in our marriage.

The best thing I did for myself was telling my husband I love him, but I do not love his sisters, and I was no longer making an effort to have any relationship with them at all.

8. Broil and serve, with fava beans and a nice Chianti.

11. Only if you want her to be like shoe leather.

Seriously, boil? You oughta learn yourself how to cook.

9. Divorce is out of the question? n/t
