I guess it all comes down to the kind of person one was before being a DIL, DM, or MIL...self-involved, overbearing people come in all acronyms, IMHO. So can kind, thoughtful people.

I agree.  I think it just boils down to a person period.  I also think that people can be highly influenced by another person and be lured into thinking being a different way is better.  Other people are able to pull away and say "I'm not going to be like that".  Throw all of those people into one room, you are going to have some chaos.
