After many years of She and my husband controling everything....I snapped. Only in my own little way, but it was bad enough. Should I appologize? It's not really in my heart because I feel as though this was due. But I am feeling a little foolish now.

It's normal you feel bad because we're all normal human beings with a good heart. At least you still feel bad even after you know how badly the person treated you. I believe you've also been very patient with her all these while, that's the reason why you suddenly snap at her because she has crossed your limit.
It's good that you show her how you feel.... you have the right to express your feeling no matter what. Let her know you also have feelings and you also need respect. If she still didn't realised it, then I think it's a waste that you still feel bad for her and still respect the person.

Mabey you should appologize for reacting so badly - not for the reaction itself if it was justified, and use it as an opener to discuss what it was that set you off in the first place.
Our mothers in laws are due our respect and politness but they need to be giving the same back to you and trying to work on your relationship with her by addressing an issue of tension is not disrespectful.

Never apologize for how you feel. After many years, you deserve it. I am so very serious. Don't feel foolish, stand your ground and let them know that what you said is what you meant and that you are sorry that it had to come to that, but something has to ge changed. I think that in that, they will learn to respect your opinion. I think that you feel proud of yourself. YOU GO GIRL!!

I agree with everyone. You shouldn't have to apologize about the way you feel in a situation. I would just let her know that you do feel bad for just blowing up like that, but that was just how you felt about whatever happened.

Do not feel foolish. It is because of those feelings that they have been ABLE to control everything.

I think that you should (to save face for the future) but you should also take it as an opportunity to have a serious talk with her. Something along the lines of "I'm sorry that I _____________, I just feel ____________ because of the way that you _______________."
Fill in the blanks for your situation, and you've not only apologized but confronted her in one relatively-painless sweep.
