BTW, I learned a long time ago that the person we have the most conflict with is the one who will force our growth.

For me, that person would be my MIL.

Now for the real whack. "They" also say that the person who occupies that position is the one we are most like.

If that is true (and I strongly suspect it is), then this P/A action is directed at his mother AND me.

Which is why MC had me really work on ceasing behaviors that were consistent with his mother's. Make sense?

I wish it didn't.
