[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 385826"] I'd play pass the bean dip with her. Reiterate that you will not see him, will not have your kids see him, will not discuss it and will not compromise. Tell her bring it up again and you'll be forced to cut her off to access to you and your family until she agrees to your terms. I've had to do this myself but if she leaves you no choice but to do that that is her choice and the consequences of that choice. It's either respect the line drawn in the sand with no negotiations or see ya. Gentle reminders when she brings it up like "we are not discussing this, please respect my wishes" (not YOU words, that's what makes people defensive). If she continues to push it "I'm sorry, I have to leave\hang up now, thank you for your hospitality\call. I appreciate it". Plain and simple (logically anyway but emotionally it's tough) stick to your guns, keep that line drawn in the sand. [/QUOTE]
