[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I would've cut them loose but it doesn't just end with me.  I am not the only child.  However, my brother passed away 4 years ago from cancer.  My SIL could never stand my parents, especially after they constantly criticized how she cared for him when he was sick.  Btw, they never ever stayed with him the hospital or drove him to chemo or offered to watch the kids.  A few months after the funeral, SIL moved back to Cali to be close with her family and took her three kids.  In four years, my parents saw my nieces and nephew exactly once for 2 hours.  At the airport.  ANd they managed to scare the hell out of these kids by constant bickering.  I am the only one in the area left.  I guess they are feeling lonely and old, but they continue to resort to threats.[/quote]

What do you want OP? You you feel guilty or something, what's nagging at you?

Unless you yourself are willing to start a relationship with them then there's no point in subjecting your kids to it. Kids see the dynamic. If can't put the work in to improve your own relationship with them then in my opinion its not worth it. And if its going to be the same dynamic then you should move on. They have access through the ex.[/quote]
