[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 71569, member: 3626"] Have you considered being "adopted" by your husband's family? My friend did this. Her family was beyond toxic. Her husband's family was like your husband's -- extremely loving and giving. She asked them privately if they would be willing to have a ceremony where she was officially made a member of the family. They loved the idea since they had always felt she was more their daughter than "just" a daughter-in-law! Their pastor came to their home and helped them write out the words and thoughts of all parties and officiated. The parents and my friends exchanged roses. They gave her a heart pinkie ring, which they placed on her finger during the ceremony as a token of their love. She gave her new mother a heart locket and took her father's watch and had it engraved with a heart and their initials. It was not a legal adoption, but it was a true adoption of the hearts. I don't know how you feel about that idea, but if you think it is something husband's parents would like it might be something to consider and might ease some of your pain and envy. [/QUOTE]
