[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 642313, member: 1550"] WEll, if it's one-one sometimes, yes, it can make things better. If you are confronting a group...not so sure. And I don't care if everyone likes me. To me, tolerating each other isn't having a good relationship, but if you have to see her and it helped the kids, that's GREAT. It would never have been that way for me. I didn't depend on my family at all, for anything, starting at eighteen, but they are a pretty vicious group and it would not have made anything better, just more fodder for gossip. I don't try to take popular views, but I also keep my unpopular views, say, politically to myself. I don't feel everyone needs to know everything I feel. If a bunch of people are sitting around the dinner table talking about something I disagree with, unless I know it will be friendly banter, I just finish dinner and let it go. I don't like confrontation and I doubt I've ever changed anyone's mind about anything...lol. I just really enjoy a peaceful, tranquil life and don't like to fight losing battles. It is true that sometimes one-one you can get some understanding. A whole group of in laws? I don't know. I'd stay home and let it go. Most likely, they will form a pack and it could make it awkward for her husband. So...that's JMO :) Wow, time for that first cuppa coffee. It's always the best one :) [/QUOTE]
