[quote=Anonymous]I think you will be infinitely better of in letting DH decide how much and how often he wants to interact with his mother. Given her failing health, the last thing you want to do is become some obstacle for him to reconcile within HIMSELF whatever relationship he is to have with HIS mom. The fact that you say you hesitate to "let them back in our lives" - I'm not sure if you mean the kids or simply that you're acting as some form of gatekeeper - which would not be right. If you want to maintain distance yourself and perhaps your kids due to toxicity or whatever else that's one thing - but don't keep DH from his mom. I had a toxic relationship with my father. I was able to manage that as an adult on my terms prior to his death. It made life easier.[/quote]
