You can remember one thing she did well or what she has done for your partner when he or she was young, and focus on that particular thing. When you are in a situation where your mother in law is getting on your nerves, you can just pretend to listen to her and think about something else.

Get to know her better. All she wants to do is protect the child that you married. Just kill her with kindness. No matter what she says, show her that it wont phase you.

I would try to see her good characteristics and think of those.Try to find some things you have in common.Remember she is human and makes mistakes and has feelings too.She raised the man you love,so there has to be good qualities about her if you look for them.Try working on your relationship with her.Try doing some activities together that you both enjoy like watching a movie together or having lunch together for example.This could help you build a stronger bond.Treat her with love,kindness and respect.Try to see her as a friend instead of an enemy.

It can be a difficult thing to not get along with someone. What can be even more of a challenge is when you dont get along with those closest to you, or those that are in your life. Relationships with inlaws can at times be complicated. The important thing is to try and communicate your differences with each other. Perhaps talking over the things that keep you from getting along can put you in a better place with one another. Having a mediator with you both could also be very helpful (such as a counselor or therapist) Having an "impartial person" to help shed some light on your differences and why they are there, might help your feelings to soften, and help you to move forward.

I might give you a controversial answer here. So there is two ways. One, try to see the situation as if you were in her shoes, try to relate to what she is feeling. Her needs, her thoughts, feelings and so fourth. Just imagine yourself being in her place with none of your own baggage. The second one is the controversial one and should according to me only be practiced in special occations. That is simply. You are allowed to feel whatever it is you are feeling. You have your reasons, you have your feelings and they are okay to feel. Just know that hating someone does not have to last forever, and most of the time forgiveness is usually something very relieving and makes you feel better most of the time so try number one both before and after number two. Always remember us here on 7 cups are here to help and support you. Never be afraid to reach out.

I don't think this is something which can be simply solved buy try talking to your dad about it, explain how you feel.

Try to find ways to connect with the mother-in-law. Find a common interest and go from there. It really helps if you can find a common ground and use that to help strengthen the relationship.
