[quote=Anonymous]I’m a mom of two happy go lucky elementary school aged kids. They are blissfully aware that my extended family is highly dysfunctional. I’m talking constant fighting, accusations of sexual abuse, susstance abuse issues etc the list goes on and on. Not all of them are like this and one of the normal ones is getting married this weekend. I won’t be attending, because I’ve distances myself from most of this family years ago. My parents will be watching the kids for the week and my mom mentioned taking them. I asked her not to take my kids staying that they are too young to be exposed to their dysfunction. She was very hurt and tearful. Am I out of line? I think this is a normal reaction. My mom didn’t protect me from her family, I made the decision as a teenager to basically disown them. How can she then go and think this is acceptable for my kids? [/quote]
