Jobs & In-laws

[Watersign619]

I am currently out of work and job hunting. I am currently feeling low self-esteem, hopeless and anxious and stir-crazy. Tomorrow I am going with my family to stay with the in-laws for 4 days. My sister-in-law has a history of being demeaning, outspoken and cold to me. Last time we visited I told her I was getting car sick while she was driving and asked if she could be more gentle in her driving, she then proceeded to go around the next corner so reckless that she almost tipped the car over going around a corner, all the people in the car were slammed against the sides. Any wisdom on how to manage how I am feeling going into the 'lion's den'?

I don't know about youbut I'd not put up with it, I'd tell her where to go, out loud so hat everyone can hear it, but that's just me.

Maybe you should have a quiet word in her ear.

yeah...I agree with jimmyjimmy..first off, I personally would ignore the crap out of her and not give her an inch, she would not be worth my time..I would let her know if she says something demeaning...that what ever her problem is, it's not you so she can project her crap onto someone else. If you have to talk to her at all that is. I avoid narcs, sociopaths, passive aggressive's, and basically any other horses arse that get's their kicks out of being a jerk. ...fair warning....some people just are jerks..and there is no reasoning with them....better to blow her off....it bugs the crap out of them.

I agree with the others. Is it possible to let your other family members know so they could jump in and say something? Always remember that attack is the best form of defence! x

Man, this person does not deserve to have a car. Why put up with someone like that? She's out of control
