After our daughter turned almost 2, we (my husband decided, i stood by his decision) cut ties with his parents. His mother has issues and nothing is ever good enough. Step-father is a bit controlling and was abusive to my husband as a child - He was always the outsider in the family. He has a step brother (36 yrs old, still living @ home, no girlfriend, little social life) The 3 are very introverted and once our daughter was born my mother-in-law made every excuse in the book not to be involved (not major parties, no babysitting requested - she wanted to be paid for that...just wanted her to come over for coffee every once in a while and enjoy her granddaughter) Anyway - we cut off ties. Haven't talked to them in almost 5 yrs (they live 10 mins away) My husband's stepdad is now sick with a rare disease and his mother is on the verge of a breakdown. a birdy told me) Husband still questions why they didn't fight the "cutting off" thing and has never been truely happy since Do I tell him?
