Deck oiler: She played me

r/

MIL asked for a meeting to discuss my message about boundaries. You guys warned me not to go but I did and she played me

We went in and she was oddly calm. Offered us a cup of tea. Declined. She sipped hers calmly and asked what the issues were

Then she defends herself calmly and denies she ever did anything wrong. Asked for instances of playing favourites. No that never happened, I love them equally. No that’s not how I remember it. I’m sorry you feel that way. I started getting angry and she said you seem very angry and I said I’m furious. She leans back and smiles creepily

She’d obviously planned to stay calm, bait me and make me angry enough to look like the crazy one and I played right into it. We left with nothing resolved

I want to go no contact now. This level of manipulation was next level and it makes me worry she’s an absolute nutcase. I should have listened to you all
