Yes! We do sound alike. I admire you because it isn't easy when you did so much for a family and they don't return anything. I do get support in the way they will tell me DH is crazy but they will not say it to his face.
In your last post I read yet another similarity. My DH does not contact his family either! This last thursday our DS turned three and I threw him a party on saturday. I invited his family and they came. DH called said he was looking forward to seeing everybody again and called the day before the party to say he might drop by. I feel he was getting cold feet seeing everyone again and just wanted to keep all options open. He did come and when his sister asked how he was doing he said he needed the time alone to think and not to be influenced by his family....
You are a very positive woman to let things which happened in the past stay in the past. I know you do this for your DH (and yourself) and he will keep recognising what a wonderfull wife he has!! B
