There have been some other similar threads lately about dealing with inlaws... .very good information and things to think about.
Here is my take... .for what it's worth.
In any relationship... playing telephone are making yourself responsible for another actions... .is generally not a good place to be or thing to do. Because usually the party asking you to do something doesn't want "the talk" to happen... .they want a behavior change. This puts you in the position of pleading the case of someone else... .to someone else... . It's odd when you think about it.
I urge everyone to consider... .why won't they just talk to the other person directly and leave you out of it?
I don't do what she asks.
What do you say when you refuse? How does what you say compare to what you have learned in lessons and tools?
and every time she doesn't remember or she remembers and it wasn't good enough b/c (fill in the blank reason).
So... .likelihood that this will change in the future?
make her happy with me
What does this look like... .describe some times when she was "made happy with you"
, she's never responded positively in the past?
What does responding positively look like?
Anyone else have similar situations that the successfully navigated?
