I'll tell you this...my mother and I have had our moments. There have been times in my life that she did things to me that I cannot ever forget, but I still love her, and we have a great relationship. I have never treated her that way, and I firmly believe that it would do no good.
I really have some serious issues with my MIL, but I'm always polite to her, even when she is a major beyotch to me. I have some serious wounds in my tongue for the time I've had to bite it, but I do. It would do no good to be cruel, so I let a lot slide.
I don't have time in my life to take issue with everyone and everything. I find it alot easier to really pick my battles. And these days, I let more and more slide because it would do no good, would cause more harm than good, and it would cause MYSELF more grief in the end.
