[quote=Anonymous]Time is the only thing here OP. I really encourage you not to bring it up with her. It will not work. Think about it like any other relationship. If you wanted to get closer with someone, would you sit them down and say "Please be more open and warm with me?" Of course not. How long has she been a part of your family? With my SIL, it took a solid five years before she became comfortable enough with both me and my parents to really connect. Just keep giving opportunities, being inclusive, and be as careful as you can not to sound judgmental. (I will admit though that it is a fine balance. It is difficult to develop true comfort and closeness when you are walking on eggshells to not offend....)[/quote]
