[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom's partner is cold and has little to do with us.  His family is the priority and my mom puts his family first to make him happy.   She will babysit his grandkids for a week at a time but at best she will see mine a few times a year for an hour or two.  She will fly out to their events but cannot attend ours locally.  She made her choice and it isn't us.  So, no, when he took her away as my mom and my kids grandma, not impressed at all and prefer himont participating the few times we are forced to see him (i.e. thanksgiving when he stays vs. visits his family - my mom invites him even though I make it clear I don't have any interest in him coming).[/quote]

Seems like you may have presented your mother with a "me or him" situation.  You've said she made a choice and it isn't you.  Why?  Because she got married?  Then you said "he" took her away from you.  I doubt that - your mother is an adult and can make decisions.  Maybe she's decided that her life-partner was not welcome by you, so she cuts her losses.  Could that be why he appears "cold" - maybe he sees your attitude towards him?    Your mother might spend time with his family because they are welcoming and accepting of her.  Something that her husband isn't getting from you.  [/quote]
NP. Why do you think you know a stranger's family situation better than them?[/quote]
