My mother just left from a weekend visit. Let me just say, I know how you feel!!!!!!!!!! It would be easier if she was outright rude, but whenever she's with us or vice versa, she insists on pulling the whole martyr/guilt routine. Makes me CRAZY. I feel like the only woman in the world who could easily imagine her mother-in-law coming to live with her but the thought of my own mother, God help me!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hugs to you and the only remedy I've found is to refuse to internalize all that stuff, I've been doing that for 30 years, now I just breathe and go get on the phone with someone who will understand/keep it private, or vent about it to my husband, until they've helped correct my perspective. Because I've tried talking to her and it really, honestly does no good. Good luck!
