Well, it depends.
My MIL is delusional. Not in the sense like many guys experience where they just hate their MIL and she's crabby all the time and wants to rule their lives. Mine is 100% delusional. She sees boogeymen under every rock, around every corner and in every nook and cranny. We'll get phone calls from her at all hours of the night about how someone is spying on her, trying to break into her house, wiretapping her phone, trying to steal her stuff, following her, stalking her, etc.
So, she's delusional, because she's on SSDI, doesn't work and has never had an important (let alone top-secret) job, and she's not looking like, say, Raquel Welch. So, there's no reason for any of this to happen.
What do I do? I let her rant, say, "uh huh" every few moments with an "is that so?" thrown in for good measure. I then promise to look into the matter (whatever the matter d'jour is) and I hang up the phone.
My wife just screams at her, especially when she gets accusatory about me. When I'm with her, I walk on eggshells so as to not give her reason to think I'm plotting against her that day.
Is that what you're looking for?

I did that, and feel horrible about it. I can tell you one thing, DO NOT point out his/her dellusions. At some point I just had to come to terms that the Caleb that I once knew was not the same Caleb anymore.
