I've been trying for 20+ years to get on with my grown up step children and step grandchildren. They have clearly demonstrated on the years that they have very little concern or interest in me or my children and grandchildren. They have been brought up in a very different way to my children. I've now stepped back from them, stopped, cooking for them and helping them and almoist stopped trying. They've noticed and have just snubbed me even further. My husband still tries to keep us getting on together but I'm not prepared to put myself up for rudeness from them any more and don't make allowances any more. This causes arguments between us and we try not to talk about it but it rears its head fairly regularly, this isn't helping or relationship at all. We try to put it to one side, but we row about it regularly. Any advice gratefully received about how to navigate through special occasions and holidays.
The King is to resume some duties.
