OT, I think you are essentially correct in what you are saying. As a parent, I can certainly disagree with my kids and not approve of what they do but I would never (at least I hope not) refuse to accept them based on my own moral code of ethics...like I would still love them, just not what they are doing.
Donna...if your ex and this skank have been together for awhile and she has contact with your children while they visit him then she could very well become a stepmother to them. Just because they are not married, does not make her less of a parental figure, less of an influence on them.
I understand she is a skeeze but she was a skeeze to you...if she babysat your children and took good care of them there is most likely a sort of bond there
I don't believe your ex is really saying accept my life you a**holes to his parents
I think he has a new family
his parents are telling him that they will not be at a family event where he and his family are...they are forcing him to chose between his parents and his current family
that is wrong
and in the same situation I would chose my current family as well
his brothers and sisters chose to see him and they allow him to bring his skeeze with... that doesn't mean they agree with what he did it just means they love their brother
it certainly is not your job to convince your inlaws to accept their son so please don't think that that is what I am saying
I am just saying it is messed up that he did what he did and that are continuing to do what they do
