[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 747411, member: 4152"] Yes, Copa. We can’t truly win. And we won’t cause more stress for our son. It’s not a good situation. Sort of the lesser of the two evil choices. And we are saying very little to nothing to him re her parents these days or Our son’s move Being positive on the idea of a larger house. But, the other day when they (in law family) showed their true colors and we stepped aside, our son gently acknowledged their jealousy issues and thanked us for stepping aside. They showed that they will hurt others and manipulate etc. do whatever they deem necessary in their minds, to “outdo” us. I am no longer upset. More sad. But , it was VERY nice that our son acknowledged that he sees it and thanked us. We were looking for some of this at Xmas time.we were aghast that we got nothing but hysterics. We are accepting of this new attitude from our son even if it’s not ideal and we are likely to lose out and maybe often. :( But it just seems healthier and more honest what he did this go around with what I have said Even though I didn’t say specifically happened, but I think you understand. We were treated unfairly due to their jealousy issues in a recent situation. He gently acknowledged it and thanked us for letting it go. Again, better. Love the ideA of boundaries. I’m a boundaries person!!! [/QUOTE]
