[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TBH, I think you should feel awful as should your husband. Because his grandfather died, this woman means nothing to you guys? I understand setting boundaries but honestly, ppl on this board all the time say treat your stepkids like your own, don't diminish extended/blended families, etc. but then do stuff like this. You feel guilty because the behavior is hurtful. You're not obligated to talk to her for hours. You can show compassion and check in on her, limit talks and actually follow through with your promises - if DH says there will be a dinner - there should be a dinner. Or...OR...tell her you're not interested in maintaining a relationship with her now that her husband died and she means nothing to your family.[/quote] They got married later in life. To be honest, OP is going above and beyond remaining in touch with her. Lay off with the guilt trips. [/quote]
