Have you ever been in a situation where you know there is constant miscommunication?

I have this with my inlaws. Partly, because my Spanish is only good, not great. Add to it, there are cultural differences and family difference. They miscommunicate with Spanish speakers a lot also. Part of the reason is my MIL hates anything that borders on a fight. A healthy debate is the end if the world to her, which results in a lot of passive aggressive silent treatment type of behavior.

It’s so frustrating to me.

I want to write a letter with all the misunderstanding and leave it to be opened upon my death. I won’t do that, I just find it annoying to have so many things misunderstood. They range from extremely trivial to fairly important.

Usually, I just stifle now and let the misunderstanding stay put. Once in a while I try to further explain.
