mumto5,

I have a very controlling mother. She liked to send gifts when there was no relationship between us. For her, it was easier to send the gifts and tell herself what a good person she was rather than to piece together the relationship she shattered with her bad behavior.

So…I sent the gifts back. No regrets. And guess what? No more gifts come out way. It is a relief.

I believe the gifts brought confusion…here is this person who cannot be civilized toward us, yet she sends gifts…very mixed messages.
 
I think you have been given some great options - and I know the situation. I think having your husband write thank you notes for the presents is a great idea. Your MIL is mentally ill. She cannot help herself and you can’t help her. JESUS BOX TIME…and you know I think you have tried enough…😉

Yes, you are right. I have done everything I possibly can from my side so I am at peace about that. The only thing to do with the situation is to give it totally over to God as it needs something outside ourselves to resolve this.

I won’t send the presents back, I will receive them neutrally and pray for the grace to have their arrival not affect me.

In letting my husband write the thank you notes, I know it won’t happen. But that’s not my problem.
