I've just been thinking about my wife's family, she has 6 brothers all married with kids etc.
I feel a great loss here too as they treated me as a brother and I became an integrated member of the family, often going out with them and doing things as a large family.
How do I deal with them? They have become distant with me, which is to be expected, do I shut them out, make an effort still?
This bbq I've been invited is a family event, I don't really want to go but people are saying I should go, my W father told me I should go.
What would be best? Go and do it as a family as my wife wants to do things with us all as a family, or leave it?
