How do you deal with your horrible in-laws? How do you stand their jealousy, their judgemental comments, their need for control?
In this episode of the Frame of Mind Coaching™ Podcast, Ferne and I explore a case about a woman named Lucy who loves her husband but doesn’t understand how such an amazing man came from such horrible parents.
His mother is rude and judgemental. She spends her time comparing herself to other people and making sure that her things are more expensive than everyone else’s – more expensive clothes, car, dinner plates, anything that someone can see.
Lucy’s father-in-law, on the other hand, is rude and inappropriate. He walks into a room and ALWAYS makes an inappropriate and offensive comment. Lucy can’t stand it any longer. If only she didn’t have to see them anymore.
First, I say that Lucy needs to understand that her happiness comes from her thinking, not from the behavior of her in-laws. Right now, she is using her in-laws as an excuse to be unhappy. Lucy knows that her in-laws won’t change, and she shouldn’t expect them to. Instead, I would encourage Lucy to find some common ground with her in-laws so that she can have a direct relationship with them.
What do YOU think Lucy should do? Join the conversation!
