Re: family arguments
People tend to put to much emphasis on family members imo.The world is chock full of people and many of those people can become very important to you, sometimes far more so than family. I tend to think that if family members are going to behave in ways that cause rifts and long term upset then just leave them to it and concentrate on the other people in life who are important to you.

Re: family arguments
Really interesting reading your replies . Thanks everyone.Just a brief update . Lovely son in law does go back to visit his family , tries many times to make peace but it never comes about . He knows I love him like my son and does talk to me about it . He's a great guy and so deserves more than this but guess it's life .

Realist. Write this in your diary, or on your calander. I agree with you.

Re: family arguments
My daughter had, has the same problem. Her m-i-l has been divisive from day one. She is a very demanding, domineering woman. She has tried to drive a wedge between my daughter and my s-i-l on many occasions. I have stood aback from it, not wanting to exasperate the situation.Her last attempt to divide, involved both grandsons.
S-i-l was so infuriated he has cut all contact, so did one of my grandsons.
My daughter and s-i-l are coming up to their silver wedding anniversary and there is no let up with his mother. His mother has left him with no choice.

Re: family arguments
Blood doesn't mean **** as I'm concerned. The oldest girl trying to say her brother is a "half" brother. The one who got the middle girl out of hospital. That was based on a patriarchal system. Yes your mother is your ******* blood. Hello..." Half brother" MY ***, well anyways
