Looking for outside perspective. I’m already no contact with one of my in-laws (SIL). There’s a LONG history of issues, really a death by a thousand cuts situation. But this is the first time I have actual evidence they’re calling me a “bad person” behind closed doors, which feels like a pretty extreme characterization to put on anyone, let alone someone your son/brother chose to marry.
My partner is furious and wants to confront them directly. I’m not sure how much good it’ll do — other than getting it on the record that we know, and making clear my partner finds it completely unacceptable and won’t maintain a relationship with someone who does this.
Would you confront them? Has anyone done it and felt it was worth it?
