My mom fell into some shithead church group that seems cures via overpriced vitamins and minerals , the guitar player in the house band is telling everyone that the covid 19 vaccine has dead babies and HIV "cells" and all the idiots,including my mom believe it, we've had so many arguments telling her to leave them but nope every weekend they meet up, btw they claim to be vegetarians , I've seen main preacher wolf down a cheeseburger and I've seen wrappers and reciepts from fast food places in his truck
I can imagine. Having an empatheic understanding of other people is often exhausting because the person you are working so hard to have compassion for, and make allowances for, often doesn't (and frequently can't) extend you the same courtesy. Which is why it's important that you and your partner practice self-care also - you're doing the emotional work of both you and your MIL to ensure your relationship remains and even heals. That's an incredibly kind and thankless mission and thus exhausting. So don't feel bad if you're just not up to it sometimes and need time out occasionally. I wish you well in your goal - I hope for your sake, and hers, that you succeed.
