[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 112876, member: 3907"] Hello L4H, I agree with the other posters who have recommended that you set clear boundaries with your family about what is and is not acceptable behaviour as far as you and your difficult child are concerned. Have events at your place, under your control if possible, and do not discuss difficult child with them, and do not allow them to discuss difficult child with you, unless and until they can show that they are understanding and compassionate about your situation. I am blessed that my DHs family is incredibly understanding and compassionate about difficult child. My people on the other hand, are horrible and malicious. After repeated attempts by them (unsuccessful) to break up my marriage to husband, and repeated attempts (partially successful) to poison the extended family against me, I broke off all contact and have neither seen nor spoken to them for years now. Although we don't get to choose our families, we do get to choose who we spend time with. Life's too short and your time is too valuable to waste it with people who will only give you grief and pain. Hugs for your hurting heart. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. Trinity [/QUOTE]
