[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP, that is really frustrating. My entire family is like this with my child vs. my sister’s children. They all live in close proximity, except my mother who visits them more frequently. It’s driven a bigger wedge between us as my child is old enough now to notice and have feelings hurt by it. I agree your husband needs to address this sooner rather than later.[/quote] My kid was yours in our family’s dynamic. I never hid a thing, because denying anything was gaslighting. I didn’t dwell, although I did explain it had to do with the older generation’s feeling about me and not about anything important about who he was. Kid is 20 now, and unscarred by the blatant favoritism shown by a certain set of grandparents. He keeps them a bit at arms length, which is appropriate, and he knows he has a loving home amongst the other relatives. I did few things right, but I did handle this one well so pass on my experience to you.[/quote]
