SFC_Swede, I just wanted to say I sympathize with what you're going through with the in-laws. I haven't heard a peep from any of my in-laws since BD. I think the reason it hurts so much is that it's another rejection and a negation of the bonds you previously thought were unbreakable. Now we realize they're all just words, and like so many things, easily rescindable when they become inconvenient.
