Gracey,

I think you are doing great and planning on telling the MIL why you acted the way you did is a healthy step for you. I have to remind myself this over and over again

What other people think of me is none of my business, but how they treat me is.

MIL is treating everyone with disrespect, including her son and Bree. And she can be told that her behavior is unacceptable - it won't kill her. If her son won't do it, either because he can't or won't, then it's up to you.

You've got it together Gracey, and no one can take it away from you unless you let them. We're allowed to and should create an environment for ourselves that is serene. In your case that just might involve not having someone picking through the laundry and there is everything in the world right with your decision.

Wishing you a good evening,
Petunia
