[quote=Anonymous]Dh and I have been in a bad place for some time, but I think we've made major progress the last couple of weeks, and we might be turning a corner and coming back together again.

The problem is, during our period of separation, members of his family said some pretty crappy things to me.  Everyone on my side knew to keep their mouths shut and be polite; after all, we have kids, and no matter what, we should each try to have a good relationship with each other's family.  People in his family, however, are more impulsive, quicker to judge, quicker to "expel" and take sides, etc.

It's making it harder for me to imagine getting back to where we used to be now that I know my in-laws are capable of making sweeping comments about my character, and that he has been (and still is) more emotionally dependent on them than he is on me (like, I feel like he trusts them more than he trusts me, and they have said horrible things about me, so...)

Has anyone been there?  What do you do?[/quote]
