[QUOTE="witzend, post: 198548, member: 99"] I have no disillusions that there isn't a lot of room on all sides for giving up positions and letting go of the past. My sticking point is and always has been that they need to leave my kids out of it. To be sure, L has inserted herself into it to a certain extent. M just never cared much, as he is more savvy that they don't really like him much. He's too difficult child. L is a prettier package, and they are more able to manipulate her. I will never be ok with using her to get to me. It's the start of the conversation about recovering our relationship, and there's no room for movement on either side about that. Their position is "she has her opinions about it and we can't help it if she hates you for it." Pretty hard to move that... Oh, well. An hour to BBQ. The house is clean and the yard is looking good. husband even mowed the lawn. Now if we can just figure out how to keep the dogs from being dogs. ;) We don't get enough company to train them not to jump on people who visit. [/QUOTE]
