[quote=Anonymous]I’ve been married to DH for nearly 15 years, and in that time, he’s been withdrawing more and more from his family. There is a lot of history there, of favoritism and manipulation, guilt-tripping and drama; the standard fare that precedes most situations like this. Within the last year however, I’ve really sensed a seismic shift happening. It all sort of came to a head this year with DH basically stepping back completely. For the first time ever, I can tell he really doesn’t care. He was sitting at the island trying to coordinate a plan for Christmas with his mom when she started her typical passive-aggressive whining. He flat out told her if she isn’t willing to accept the time we can give them (she’s upset we want to be at our own home for our young children on Christmas Eve and Day) then she gets no time. He ended the call and that was that.

I know DH has the agency to have whatever kind of relationship he wants with his family. Honestly, I don’t get along with them that well so it’s no skin off my back if we don’t see them. Our kids can take them or leave them. So why do I feel so bad about this?[/quote]
