How will you handle a relationship with them now that you have reconciled
I have left this up to my Husband.
A couple of months ago I finally told him some of the things his family had done to me and the kids.
There was no point in telling him anything during MLC as he was not living in reality and I kept things to a minimum.
So now he has finally become a support as far as "they" are concerned.
For about 3 years his family did not acknowledge any of the kids in any way. This was the most hurtful, as "they" are the only family my children ever knew.
Beth, I have 8 children. These are the only kids in the family and they were treated like the [censored] on the bottom of my shoe.
2 of the kids got full scholarships to school and not a bloody word was said by anyone when they graduated from high school.. I had one D in the hospital for almost 2 weeks last year and again not one call of concern. There are many incidents that happened but I keep being told to let it go and forgive.
All of a sudden I received an email from SIL telling me that they are just so happy that H is home and are planning a visit.
My H assured me that this will not be happening anytime soon.
I have asked him for 1 year of him being home again before we allow visitors.
The kids and I do not need anyone else meddling and manipulating our lives.
I guess we will just wait and see what happens.
What did your in-laws do to your kids?
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
