[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.

I'm not responding to PP because I just don't get it. How did I interfere?  First email, DH bcc me on his reply to his mom's one line email (We atoned so you have to forgive us) where he literally wrote one line "No thank you leave me alone". I said nothing (didn't even reply or talk to him AT ALL).

Today, he got another email.  Again, I'm bcc-ed on the reply.

FIL wrote "Yesterday's sermon was about what it means to be Jewish.  To be Jewish, you have to reconcile and forgive.  You need to reconcile with us.".

This time, DH wrote "please leave me alone you haven't even tried to make things right"

It is so sad. These are the first emails DH has gotten in years so clearly his parents get that they had to do something (they clearly had expected DH to just let them get away with murder before).  But the aren't making any real effort.  The abuse happened years ago but he only finally stood up (with help from his therapist) about 5 years ago.

Can old people who took part in some horrible acts (public humiliation, etc) change? I have so much hope for my DH but he doesn't have any.[/quote]

Yes. Old people can change.  These two aren't ready.  I am glad you are being supportive.  Sorry these two just don't get YK.
