[quote=Anonymous]First: hugs to you. Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Focus on your husband right now and your own nuclear family. Second: you don’t need to make a lifetime decision about your dad. It’s totally ok to let him know you’d like to keep your relationship with him, but that you can’t with SM anymore. If he can’t accept that, then you need to take a break from both of them for a while. Make space and emotional distance for yourself. Tell your SM that you’d like to avoid exchanging presents going forward. If your dad wants to get you/your kids something, then only exchange gifts with him. Unplug yourself from FB or whatever other social media accounts you have with SM. You will never convince her to be equitable with you, so stop looking. And definitely don’t repeat the unannounced stop-by trips. That isn’t the relationship you have with them. [/quote]
