I just can't take it anymore. My parents never wanted me and my exH to divorce. They have kept him around them for the past almost 4 years now- like another child of their own. Keep in mind this is a man I have had to get police involved with multiple times to get my kids home after a visitation weekend, have had to get a protection order against, was thousands behind in CS, just generally makes my life hell, etc. PLUS- They have never made any effort to get to know my DH. They are only concerned about how my ex feels. I have told them over and over again how I can't stand that they insist on playing in-laws to him and yet do nothing for my DH. Hell, they even kept all the pictures of him up in their house for months- refusing to put up my new wedding picture until I went over one day and replaced all the pictures in the frames.

Anyway, Sunday, my sister calls to tell me they are going to my ex's house for dinner tonight. I was livid. WHY do they insist on doing this?? So, I told them that I am drawing the line in the sand. If having a relationship with my ex is so important than that is the one they can keep, I am done.

My mom texted me later to say her leg was hurting (she was in an accident a couple of weeks ago) so they didn't wind up going. WTF- it's not like they didn't go because I told them how hurtful it was that they insist on that relationship as a priority- they didn't do it because her leg freaking hurt. I just wrote back that I am done. We are already planning on blowing off Thanksgiving. And when she calls to discuss Christmas plans in a couple of weeks I swear to G-d that I am going to tell her she should figure that out with my ex- he gets the kids at 7. Eff all of them.
