[quote=Anonymous]  My inlaws have estrangement city. They have been estranged from eachother at various points. There are lots of divorces that end in total estrangement and even friendships that ended this way. I have yet to be in a room with any of them without hearing them complain and gossip about someone and I have been married into this family for a decade. This helps me have some peace with the whole thing because I realize we are not the only ones who find them toxic and we are not the only targets of their wrath. They are my only estrangement. I am still friends with people I have known since preschool and elementary school and I am very close with my family.

Also, has your health improved since you gave up on the relationship with in-laws? Mine has and my husband's has too. Plus, we don't fight anymore. 99% of fights were about them. Our kids are much happier when we don't fight so it's like a calmness has taken over the household. The only thing that makes me so sad is knowing how conflicted my husband is, but he has tried therapy and he has tried setting boundaries with them and he just gets more nastiness from them. Plus, even he has said, he is happier separating from them, but he still gets twinges of guilt.[/quote]
