OldMeg, I don’t know how I can work harder to build a relationship with people who don’t want me as a DIL and have literally not allowed me in the house frequently since I was seventeen years old.
I honestly feel you are being pretty unfair to me, even allowing for I don’t want to post a litany of “complaints” against my PILs.
They have every right to decide they don’t want me around, but I really don’t know how I can go on and build a relationship with people who genuinely don’t consider me part of their family (see above, excluded from family-only events)
I’m sorry if I seem overly sensitive about this, but I’ve been working at this for twenty years now. I can’t be any nicer, especially with people who won’t speak to me unless absolutely necessary. I can’t lie any flatter. I suck everything up and nothing changes. I get out of the way to allow DH and the kids to have the relationship of his choice with his parents, but I can’t make myself disappear.
The one who is being excluded from extended family relationships is me.
I don’t want their money because they don’t want me around and it hurts.
I’m sorry, this is really upsetting me. I have asked for this thread to be closed. I’m grateful for all the good advice I have received
