[QUOTE="vernadetta, post: 673886, member: 19825"] Thank you Second Time Around. You made some very good points in your reply. My daughter's mother in law is NOT mentally unstable, it is definitely just them saying that. Yes there is a history of this behavior with them and other family members, although I was hoping that they had matured out of it but if it's a borderline personality disorder then it has nothing to do with maturity. And yes, my son in law has major issues. He is socially very awkward, even though my daughter is very outgoing in social settings. He's very insecure and always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder and feels everybody is "against" him and often throughout their marriage has convinced my daughter of this. It causes her to get very defensive about him and this last deal between she and I has now rippled out to include him and his feelings of nobody really likes him. Geesh - it's exhausting and like I said, were it not for the grandkids it would almost be a relief to not have to deal with all their drama. They have very little in common with each other, except for the 2 kids, and it's almost as if they need these little "wars" with family members to unite them in a common cause. They are always on the "outs" with someone in the family. I guess it's just my turn now. But you make a good point about the grandkids and even though it's breaking my heart to think that they might think this absence is my doing, I think you're right. I just have to leave it alone until they decide to get over it. [/QUOTE]
